The correct answer to how the writer uses context clues to indicate the meaning of earnest is C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

In this passage, when the writer says <em>"Unlike many of the candidates"</em>, he or she implies that<em> the following adjectives that refer to them would be opposed to what Melissa delivered in her speech.</em> The candidates <em>"seemed insincere and uncaring"</em>, while <em>"Melissa delivered her speech in earnest"</em>. Therefore, <em>"insincere and uncaring" would be antonyms of "earnest"</em>, allowing the reader to infer the meaning of earnest. So, the correct answer would be C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest </em>because of the word<em> "unlike"</em>, which conveys that <em>the following words are not similar to earnest</em>. On the contrary,<em> the writer uses antonyms</em> to give clues about the meaning of earnest. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word</em> because the <em>writer doesn't create any pictures</em> in this passage, he or she <em>only uses descriptions</em> to refer to the other candidates' speeches and Melissa's speech. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word.

The correct answer couldn't be<em> D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...)</em> because <em>the writer doesn't rephrase the word earnest</em>; there is <em>no explanation about it or any kind of alternative expressions</em> or explanations that could allow the reader to infer its meaning. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...).

Hi, I need help I'm writing an essay about how child labor should be stopped. HALPPPP PLZZZZ
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

What should be done in order to solve the problem of child labor?

Promoting social accountability for communities, governments, and businesses. Equipping communities — faith leaders, parents, and community groups — to monitor vulnerable children to keep them out of hazardous work and help their families survive without their child's income.Child labour often forces children into dangerous environments and deprives them of their childhood. These children also lose access to basic education and this restricts them from doing well in life.

FYI: Global estimates from the International Labor Organization indicate that 160 million children between 5-17 years old were engaged in child labor in 2021, of which about 79 million were in hazardous labor.

What adjectives would you use to describe Vonnegut's tone to the reader in Chapter 1? Why?
sattari [20]

<u><em>Ironic and absurd </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>In my opinion, ironic and absurd are the adjective that characterize Vonnegut’s tone. Infact his novel’s black humor is built in a way to get to the absurd when, for example,  he refers to the prisoners that in his point of view are similar to animals as “meat locker”. </em></u>

<u><em>Otherwise the dialogue of Wild Bob is a clear example of the second one, he lost his soldiers in the battle. He had assured them that are many Germans dead that are praying God not to meet him and his soldiers, his words are a clear moment of absurdity when we realized that he lost his mind. </em></u>
