Answer:
The story is set in an imaginary time and place, in a kingdom whose king is semi-barbaric. His autocratic style is described in detail, and the narrator comments at length on his splendid arena.
Explanation:
Yes that is correct I think
The text does not provide any definitions, thus, options a. definition-example and cause-effect and c. comparison-contrast and definition-example can be out ruled...There are provided examples just not definitions. The text does show patterns of cause and effect--such can be shown with sentence (6) "Clearly the feeling of being anonymous causes people to engage in antisocial behavior." This sentence shows that the cause (anonymity) can lead to the effect (antisocial behavior). Hence, the correct option is b. cause-effect and comparison-contrast.
This is true. You shouldn't split your infinitives unless necessary for grammatical reasons, while splitting them to add a modification in the middle creates a weird, awkward sentence.
