Clever wordsmiths that we are, we often cloak our actions in words and phrases to hide their impact or to mitigate and alleviate

blame. Centuries of divine condemnation have made us very sensitive to the rational or irrational consequences of imagined and real culpability. Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or worse-cause you to change your behavior. Which word in the last sentence makes the sentence satirical?

Answer:

Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or <u>worse </u>- cause you to change your behavior.

Explanation:

The word <em>satire</em> refers to the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to criticize people or their ideas. For example, politicians have always been easy targets of satire.

In the last sentence, the word <em>worse</em><em> </em>stands out. The narrator says that it's worse if blame changes your behavior than if it puts you in jail, takes away your rights, or even denies you an afterlife. Objectively the change of behavior is the least severe of the listed consequences, but the narrator for some reason says otherwise.

In what way is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Contest” a work of historical fiction?
Volgvan
<span>
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Contest” can be called a work of historical fiction because it describes the former Roman Emperor Nero and recreates ancient Rome and Greece. So he took the events of the year 66 AD as a basis of the setting and chose Emperor Nero as the main character. The whole plot does not have any connections with the real events in history, author just made everything up, so it is a fiction built on historical basis.<span>
