The correct answer is B.The light represents Granny Weatherall's life.
Explanation:
"The Jiggling of Granny Weatherall" is a short story that focuses on Granny Weatherall as she is gravely ill and remembers important moments in her life including the time she was Jilted by a man called George.
Indeed, in the excerpt presented, Granny imagines once again she is waiting for George at the church, and neither George nor the priest is there "Again no bridegroom and the priest in the house." Also, at the end of this memory, Granny blows out the light, which is likely a symbol or representation of her own life ending with this last memory considering she is dying and due to this, she is remembering past experiences. Thus, there is symbolism in the passage because "The light represents Granny Weatherall's life."
Answer:
A). An example of Procatalepsis.
C). Used by Reagan to acknowledge an opposing view.
E). Followed by a counterargument proving Reagan's point.
Explanation:
The given excerpt from Ronald Reagan's speech at the Moscow State University, the underlined words employ 'procatalepsis'(rhetorical exercise) to raise an objection over the common belief that 'freedom makes people selfish and materialistic' but he states that 'Americans are one of the most religious people on the earth.' The use of 'but' reflects the use of 'procatalepsis.' Reagan <u>acknowledges the contradictory views by providing the reasons to substantiate the claim(why 'Americans are most religious people')</u> which is followed by <u>a counterargument to defy George Washington's claim and validate his point</u>. Thus, <u>options A, C, and E</u> are the correct answers.
