Synechdoche is a literary device that uses a part of something to represent the whole. If a sentence reads "He asked for her hand in marriage", that's a synechdoche because obviously he doesn't want to just marry her hand, but her hand represents all of the person.

Metonymy is similar, but it is something new or related (not just a part of their body) that stands for the whole. For example, "the crown" refers to any person of royalty. If a sentence reads "The criminal got sent to the big house" it means they went to prison. "The big house" is a new name that stands in for the thing it describes.

The customer asked the salesperson if the store accepted plastic or just cash. (Here, “plastic” refers to credit cards.)

The pair of eyes were watching her every move. (Here, “pair of eyes” refers to a person.)

Sentences that use metonymy:

The White House issued a press statement. (Here, the “White House” refers to the US president and government officials.)

The restaurant has become increasingly slow and rude. (Here, the “restaurant” refers to the staff that works there.)

D. Examine her own perception and then check in with Ivan about his behavior

The question asks about what Tamara should to do better interpret the situation and communicate appropriately. In order for her to better interpret the situation she needs to examine her own perception. Why does she feel that Ivan is unusually quiet? Does she truly think that it is directed towards her? Then she should check in with him. Telling him that he's being inconsiderate as option A suggests is not helpful. Option B also does not solve the problem either. And if Ivan is going through something, offering him help or support may be what he needs. Option C is also not correct because Tamara should not be providing therapy and she doesn't even know what is going on.

With what does scholarsticism merge Aristotle’s logic
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Christian beliefs

Explanation:

The word ‘Scholasticism’ has been derived from the Latin word “scholasticus.” The word means to indulge oneself in learning during leisure time. They encouraged to reason and logic in learning and advocated it in faith, religion, and beliefs. The primary focus of the Scholastics was either to find answers to the question which have never been answered or to resolve the contradictions through dialectical reasoning. Aristotle used the dialectical method to obtain scholastic reasoning. He wanted to merge his logic with faith and theological systems. He defended Christian beliefs and faith by constructing reasonable defense added with logic and reason.
