Over the centuries the story has been told and retold and told again, often with a widely varying cast of characters. Knights, p

riests and priestesses, kings and queens, and various users of magic come and go, but always there is Arthur, the sun around which all else revolves, his faithless wife (Guinevere), his equally-faithless best friend (Lancelot), the illegitimate son (Mordred) who becomes his bane—and Merlin. Whatever his role, Merlin is always there, and it is always clear that Arthur could not have existed, survived, or become King without him.

Allusion

Which element is shared by both " Zoos: Joys or Jails? " and "Why do we Need Zoos? "N
Montano1993 [528]

<em>Which element is shared by both " Zoos: Joys or Jails? " and "Why do we Need Zoos?”</em>


<em>The answer is D) One-sided argument.</em>

  • <em>In both " Zoos: Joys or Jails? “ and "Why do we Need Zoos?” it is clearly stated the idea of the writer against zoos. In “Zoos: Joys or Jails” the word joys compared to jails gives the ironic sensation the writer wants to give, it means people get joy out of jailing animals into zoos. The two “j’s” create a sort of rhyme that helps to the ironic or sarcastic tone.  In “Why do we need Zoos?” the idea is that there is no real purpose on having zoos.</em>

<em>Read The passage. What technique is the author using to develop point of view?</em>

<em>" Though zoos are meant to be a joy to viewers and teach lessons about our earth, the zoo jails its inhabitants and passes on faulty knowledge . "</em>

<em>The correct answer is 4) Arguments from opposing views. </em>

  • <em>In this passage, the technique helps the author in expressing the two sides of the coin, this is that people who go to zoos have fun and learn but treating animals as mere objects of entertainment.  </em>
