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.

Can someone help me with this question !! PLEASE <br><br>( It's not D I got it wrong )
romanna [79]

The correct answer is C. However, not everyone agrees.

Explanation

Evidence is a term that refers to something that indicates a manifest certainty that is undeniable and cannot be doubted. In general, to argue a position it is necessary to rely on credible or reliable evidence to provide accurate information to the reader. According to the above, in the fragment of the question the sentence that provides credible and true evidence is "However, not everyone agrees" because this sentence is supported by credible evidence such as the study carried out by the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2014, in which it "found that violent video game playing had a link with increased, long-term, aggressive behavior." Therefore, the correct answer is C. However, not everyone agrees.

Write a story about it was 3 o clock​
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Ok, I'm going to give this a shot.

Explanation:

It was 3 o clock when they walked in and saw him lying dead on the floor. There was no evidence for the police to find, just a middle-aged man dead in a hotel room at the Roulexxe. Of course, the media was abuzz, the Roulexxe was shut down, and everyone was in an uproar. After a month, the police declared the case closed and the hotel safe. And, when they made the grand re-opening of the Roulexxe, it was 3 o clock that they found another dead body. The public was now panicking. The hotel was too, for they thought that they were going to have to shut down. The police declared the case reopened and investigated even further. But it was to no avail. There was nothing. Just two dead bodies found at 3 o clock in the Roulexxe. Everyone began to distrust the famous Roulexxe hotel and began going to a different one, called Le Champion. And, it was 3 o clock when a maid walked in on a dead body at Le Champion.
