The two friends and the dog were passing Moulsey which was one of the busiest dock on the river. The dock was full of boaters who were in their Sunday boating dress enjoying and relaxing. It was gayest sight with the caps and jackets of the men, pretty coloured dresses of the woman, excited dogs, moving boats, white sails, pleasant landscape and sparkling water.
Jerome liked little red in all things but criticized Harris to wear yellow and George to bought ugly new blazer for this trip. Jerome and Harris were worried about the blazer which looks gaudy because it would attract attention to the boat.
Girls didn’t look bad in boat but Jerome had an opinion that a boating dress should be worn by them in a boat. Jerome tells a story when he was going with two beautifully dressed ladies. But they were dressed for a photographic studio, not for a river picnic. The first thing that they thought was that the boat was not clean and they were afraid of getting their dresses wet. He was stroking but not able to prevent few drops of water falling on their dresses though he did his best. The ladies felt relieved when he asked another man to row but this man spread more water on their dresses and they began to protect themselves with their umbrellas and drew rugs and coats over themselves.
They reached Hampton Court. Harris wanted to visit Mrs. Thomas's tomb but Jerome rejected it. Jerome reminded of his visit to a village church where he saw an old bald-headed guy coming to him carrying a bunch of keys in his hand. Jerome protested when he insisted to see the tomb. Jerome had to run away when he burst into tears.
Harris asked him to see the skulls at least. Harris was interested in tombs, graves, epitaphs and monuments revealed that he had joined the trip to see Mrs. Thomas's Tomb. Harris got angry when Jerome reminded him that they had to reach Shepperton by five o'clock to meet George. Harris said that he had never seen George doing any work. Harris wanted to go to the pub to have a drink but Jerome told him that there are no pubs nearby so he settled for lemonade from the hamper. Harris was steering while finding the bottle which was at the bottom of the hamper. So, he pulled the wrong line and sent the boat into the bank. Harris fall into the hamper with his leg up due to force hit of the boat. Jerome helped him out which makes him further angrier.
Answer:
The answer is indeed letter C. The word is used mainly in Great Britain, not in the United States.
Explanation:
<em>Brit and US</em> are geographical labels found in dictionary entries. They come in parentheses and are used to indicate where that word is mostly used. Thus, if the label Brit comes after a word, it means it occurs typically in British English - that may include other varieties, such as Australian English -, but not in American English. An example would be the informal word "bevvy", which refers to an alcoholic beverage. In a dictionary entry, we could find bevvy (Brit).
Geographical labels are also used to indicate that a certain way to spell a word belongs to one of the varieties of English as well. For example, the color gray has different spellings according to where it is used. Thus, we would find grey (Brit.) and gray (US) in a dictionary entry.
Answer:
The reader knows that Mr. Pilkington is praising a flawed and brutal system.
Explanation:
Dramatic irony is when the audience or readers know something about the scene and would expect it to happen which the characters in the story or scene seem to have no idea. The speech and behavior of the characters will contradict the upcoming event, which the readers or viewers can predict but not by the characters in the story.
In the given excerpt from chapter 10 from “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, we see Mr. Pilkington give a speech about how much he and his human friends have regarded the way Animal Farm was run by Napoleon. He is seen praising the brutal system that was the basis of how the farm was run and also promised that he along with his fellow humans will institute the same system in their own farms. And through his speech,<u> we as readers, know that Mr. Pilkington was praising a system that is both brutal and flawed.
