Answer:

Awestruck- a. In the next room, the door of which was open, I could see a magnificent glut dressing case, with some splendid diamond and ruby shirt studs lying by it, and a chest of drawers, and a cupboard apparently full of clothes. (The Notch On The Ax by William Makepeace Thackeray )

Calm- b. A hearty hand-clasp from Jack, a frank and smiling greeting from Polly (she looked handsomer than ever, Harold thought, with her lustrous black hair and soft, dark-gray eyes ), put him at his ease at one. ( The Emergency Men by George H. Jessop )

Humorous- c. By reason of my tender age (and there are some critics who, I hope will be satisfied by my acknowledging that I am a hundred and fifty-six next birthday ), I could not understand what was the meaning of this next excursion—this candle, this tool house, this bag of soot. ( On Being Found Out by William Makepeace Thackeray )

Explanation:

1. The excerpt from "The Notch on the Axe" by William Makepeace Thackeray shows an awestruck tone with the description of the room, the things the speaker can see inside the room. The depiction of the room with "full of clothes, ...diamond and ruby.. and a chest full of drawers" exudes an image of grandeur which will impress anyone.

2. George H. Jessop's "The Emergency Men" exudes a calm tone when he uses the words "put him at his ease".

3. William Thackeray's "On Being Found Out" is a humorous one for it is quite unbelievable and funny when the speaker talks of his age as "a hundred and fifty-six next birthday".

Help me write a passages

Leya [2.2K]

“The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer. I should expect to find — this is a guess which I have not sufficient knowledge to verify — that the German, Russian and Italian languages have all deteriorated in the last ten or fifteen years, as a result of dictatorship.”

Read the speech.

belka [17]

The quotation from the text that best supports the inference that a dog will sacrifice its own comfort for the companionship of its owner is A) "He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master's side".

This part of the speech pronounced by Vest presents the dog as a loyal friend. Here, the dog is conceived as an animal capable of doing anything just to be near its master, that is, its owner. In this case, according to George G. Vest, a dog is willing to leave a warm bed and to feel uncomfortable and cold in order to share a moment with its owner, protect him/her and, at the same time, feel protected.
