The correct answer is C. Since the father likes taking risks in a game, he might like taking risks in life as well.

Explanation:

In reading, the process of inferring refers to ideas or points that can be concluded or guessed based on the information and details provided in a text, that do not explicitly state an idea but somehow suggest it. In the case of the excerpt presented, the author states a father and a sone were playing chess and in the case of the father played in a way that was risky as he is described as "putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils" situation that makes an old lady that is in the room or the same place make comments. These details show the way the father plays is particular and he seems to takes a lot of risks while playing, therefore it can be inferred he is a risky person and probably does the same in his life or that "Since the father likes taking risks in a game, he might like taking risks in life as well". Also, other details such as the age of the characters or the clothes of them are not provided which makes other options incorrect.

You want a good outline to start... I'd narrow in on the meaning of anti-hero as my main point. Since Satan is the main focus of this question, he should be the main focus of your essay. For an interesting twist, compare Milton's portrayal with Biblical and contemporary portrayals of Satan.

In what ways do baker and king use rhetorical devices to appeal to the audience compare and contrast the ways in which baker and
shtirl [24]

Hello. You did not show what the king and baker's arguejtnos were, which makes it impossible for the rhetorical devices presented by them to be identified, however, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

There are three types of rhetorical devices. they are called pathos, logos and ethos. Pathos is used when the author of the discourse presents emotionally-based arguments that evoke the sentimentality of the audience listening to the discourse, this type of artifice can present religious arguments, or even show how people's feelings about something can change them.

The ethos is related to ethics, with this, the author of the speech presents arguments aimed at the exaltation of the norm, besides showing that he himself is an integral and experienced person who wants to motivate the public based on ethical and moral concepts.

Finally, the logos, represents logic and is used in arguments where the author of the speech shows the cause and effect relationship between two or more elements and how it can be immortal for the public.
