Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.

For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;

“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”

Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".

The words "Time and his brother Care had set some marks" (lines 8-9)
Vanyuwa [196]

Unclear question, but I infer you are referring to a passage that isn't mentioned.

Answer:

e. Personification

Explanation:

Based on the context which referred to abstract objects; time and care, the author seems to be personifying 'Time'.

Note that Personification is a type of figure of speech that attributes or refers to something that is not a person as though it were.

One common example is "Have you seen my car? Isn't she beautiful?". We noticed the car is spoken as though it were a person.

Read the excerpt from Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech "A Tryst with Destiny.”
kramer

Answer:

1. People are still living in poverty and inequality in India.

3. Millions of people are suffering and are in need of help.

Explanation:

"Tryst with Destiny" was a speech made by <em>Jawaharlal Neru</em>, an Indian independence activist who served as India's first Prime Minister. The speech as made when India gained its independence from the British Empire.

The speech was meant to tell the people of the history of India until it, finally, was able to achieve freedom. It talks about suffering of all the people who never gave up for that particular day (liberation day) to finally arrive.

Although India is finally free, it is still a problem for the nation to end the millions of people who are suffering. So, this means that these millions of people are in need of help. This is because many people are still living in poverty and inequality in India. Thus, the goal for India's full liberation is not yet achieved. It is then important that people help each other.
