Answer:

Leafing—a gardener tends plants that have leaves

Explanation:

A landscape can be Urban as well, but plants do tend to have leafs. It's a noticeably odd choice of words and it has a purpose. There's no pun in the use of the words "Enjoy" and "Magazine". But the word leaf can mean two things that relate to the gardener and his action in the excerpt:

<em>"a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk"</em>

or

<em>"turn over (the pages of a book or the papers in a pile), reading them quickly or casually"</em>

Answer:

The bilingual class is more likely for students to have better communication skills.

Explanation:

On the other hand, it is true that bilinguals have a greater ability to use each language according to the context of the situation. In addition, they also have a greater working memory (necessary to perform mental calculations or reading comprehension).

However, in terms of executive control and attention, there are no specific differences between bilinguals and monolinguals.

One conclusion is that, in performing language tasks, people who handle two languages and monolinguals use different brain areas involved for these tasks.

natta225 [31]

A reference to another literary text, poem, or mythological story is an allusion.

Allusion refers to a brief reference to a person, place, event or to another literay work made in a piece of writing or literary work. Allusion was very common in classic and romantic poetry which had many references to ancient mythology.

Allusion is just a passing comment and the writer expects the reader to have broad knowledge to spot the allusion and comprehend its importance in a text.
