Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

First of all, a sentence can`t be started with a numeral. We can either rephrase it or write numeral with letters.

Official abbreviation for Governor is  <em>Gov.</em>

So answers C and D can not be correct because the sentence starts with a number, not a word.

In answer A it is not used the abbreviation for Governor, so the correct answer is B.

What purposes does a prologue serve? Check all that apply.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

A prologue is used to give readers extra information that advances the plot. It is included in the front matter and for a good reason! Authors use them for various purposes, including:

Giving background information about the story. For example, in a sci-fi book, it may be useful to include a description of the alien world, perhaps in a scene that illustrates its essential characteristics and functioning, so as not to confuse readers by plunging them into a completely foreign world in the first chapter (and having to explain it then or leave them lost, which may lead to disinterest).

Grabbing readers' attention with a scene from the story. The author could pick an exciting scene from the middle of the story to draw readers in and make them want to keep reading.

Describing a scene from the past that is important to the story, such as a fire where the main character's father is killed, which is the motivation for the action in the novel.

Giving information from a different point of view. The story is written in first person, and the prologue is in third person. The prologue focuses on a secret of one of the characters (which the main character would have no way of knowing, and the author would not otherwise be able to tell the reader due to the first person perspective).

Expressing a different point in time. For example, the prologue may be about the main character who is in her eighties and who is remembering her childhood, which is when the story takes place (and which begins in Chapter 1).

Which statement most accurately describes one way that sarcasm is used in literature?
Whitepunk [10]
<span>choice A
Sarcasm is used to in the sense that the user or character actually means the opposite of what he or she says. It is usually used in a condescending tone. It is a device used by the author to elicit a negative emotional response from the reader. Since tone of voice cannot always be detected in writing, the revelation that a statement is sarcastic may pull away a sense of false hope from the reader.</span>
