The correct answer is "In this selection, the use of the word <em>inundation</em> is probably exaggerated."


In this situation, inundation is not a real inundation/flood, therefore it is not literal. It is a word used to exaggerate the fact that the housewives are constantly cleaning the house, sweeping and mopping. You can see that too in the excerpt <em>"under the discipline of mops and brooms". </em>We know the author is referring to the cleaning process and therefore, chooses to use the word <em>inundation</em> to create more depth to what he's describing.

Which person has the best qualifications to write a credible article about the
tangare [24]

Answer:

I think its B

Explanation:

since a professor has already written books on the production of food he should be well prepared for writing an article. People who already write have a better ability to grab a reader's attention.

the tv reporter has only visited a single fast food museum, so he wouldn't have much to write on.

the former worker is already mad at being fired (he would write negatively about the place) and only has knowledge about meat. (in my opinion)

the senator could be a good option but his field is law not writing.

hope this helps :-)

Construct the incenter of triangle XYZ.
