The correct answer is A. The author uses humor to make a serious or controversial point in a nonthreatening way.

Explanation:

In writing, humor and satire are common literary devices used by authors to create a social critic about controversial issues or practices that occur in general society or specific areas such as government or church. This means by using humor and satire author can criticize negative aspects but avoiding being too aggressive or threatened as this can lead to negative critics or consequences for the author, for example, in satire it is common author use exaggeration to depict practices and ideas that are absurd but without directly stating a critic. Thus, the reason an author would use humor/satire in a text is to make a serious or controversial point in a non-threatening way.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

1. Next summer I am going to buy a new house.

2. I am quite tired; I will go to bed now.

3. I believe Laura will like her brand new car.

4. Look at those guys! They are going to rob the bank.

5. I promise, I won't do it again.

6. I think she will crash my dad's car.

7. I talked to John yesterday; we are going to visit you tomorrow.

8. I am sorry dad; I won't drink and drive again.

9. Watch out! That man is going to punch you.

10. It is really hot in here; I will open the window.

Explanation:

We use the future simple with -will-, to talk about predictions, where we do not know if an event or action is going to happen since there is no evidence to confirm it. Another use of will is to make promises, like in sentence number 5 ( I promise, I won't do it again.) and lastly to talk about decisions made at the moment like in sentence number 2 or 10 where the person decided at that moment what to do.

We use going to talk about arrange plans for the future, like in sentence number 1 or 7 where there is a plan to buy a house in the future or to visit someone on an exact date. The other use of going to is to talk about an action or event that is going to happen in the future and that there is evidence to confirm it. Like in sentence number 4, where the people saw the thieves, or in number 9, where the other person was moving the arm to punch him, this is evidence that an event is going to happen.

What is the most likely reason fast food companies want to advertise and sell their prouducts in schools

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

From my opinion, fast food companies want to advertise their food to children in school is to encourage the young people to eat fast food. if they do like the food the children will be brain washed into thinking fast food is good and will have them go to fast food constantly. They like this cycle because they can easily get more money and preying on little kids is an advantage because they don't know any better. this is why i think fast food companies want to advertise and sell their products in schools.
