The correct answer is B. Casey's family owns a store that sells bikes.

Explanation:

A discussion is considered as biased when the information included is not impartial or objective but based on personal judgments, prejudices or even interests this implies one or more participants that are part of a discussion are influenced aim at supporting only one side unfairly. In the case of the excerpt presented two participants (Casey and Alex) discuss the use of bicycles vs. the use of automobiles, Casey keeps supporting the idea of using only bicycles, while Alex discusses the idea not everyone can use bicycles. Additionally, Casey might seem to have a more radical perspective as she does not consider only possibilities but only the use of bicycle which suggest she is being biased, moreover as she only supports the use of bicycle the statement that could be the strongest cause of bias in the discussion is "Casey's family owns a store that sells bikes" as this would explain the reason why Cassey is unfairly supporting only one side and being biased.

The answer here that offers the most prejudice is B. After many years of living with a family that sells and promotes the use of bikes, it's easy to see how one could be prejudice against the use of automobiles.

The Governor,

abc City,

xyz State

Dear Sir,

Sub: REQUEST FOR CONTINUAL OF SSCE REGISTRATION FEE PAYMENT BY THE STATE GOVERNMENT

I wish to congratulate you Mr. Governor in your recent victory as the Executive Governor of our state. We hope your tenure will help to fix the loopholes and deal with an honest administration of our state prioritizing the most important issues.

I am writing to you as a concerned student as well as a responsible citizen of this country regarding a recent order issued regarding the "stop payment of SSCE Registration Fees" which will be implemented shortly. I came to understand that the registration fees support for the senior school certification examinations from the government will be discontinued for students in this state. I would honestly like to bring to your notice, the following consequences of such implementation and the reasons why you should continue with this good gesture.

Firstly, I come from a poor background and my father who is the only breadwinner of the family is a farmer. Considering both the "Economy" and "Education" of this state, it is more than clear that 65% of the students come from poor class who belong to SC/ST group of the society. In view of the fact that the parent's burden to shoulder such huge amounts is practically impossible and that would only result in massive dropout of several intelligent students due to lack of support from the government. The short-term consequence of the implication of this law would be “massive dropouts from the schools” with low literacy rate and the long-term consequence could be that such dropout students might probably indulge in illegal activities for survival or existence with high crime rate.

Secondly, the denial of such payment or the withdrawal of the support would not only demotivate the youth but also force them to use their intellectual brain in mal practices in the society like hacking etc. There are many talented youths in the society who are able to build a beautiful society if given an opportunity. However, such denial of support will only lead in economy break down at some point of the time due to their low literacy rate and the constant combat for the survival creating chaos and disaster in the state. As a matter of fact, the poor people should be helped by the government as it is one and the only source for such destined families who are below poverty line.

Last but not the least, the law reformation and reaffirmation should only result in balancing the economy and not to deteriorate. For example, the support extended at the schooling stage by the government could be linked to any of service to the country after schooling by the student. The student would be forced to serve the country upon successfully finishing his schooling so the support can be repaid in terms of service to the country to show his gratitude. The rich and the poor need to break the dichotomy that currently exist between them and giving them an opportunity and status to show their talent or intellectual capabilities and move on to the next stage of their education will go a long way in breaking the dichotomy.

In conclusion, your excellency, after critical analysis of the situation, we the citizens of this state, eagerly look upon your decision to rescind the new law enforcement to stop paying the students for the senior school certificate examination. We would also like to guarantee, your excellency, our promise to continue the social service from our part to the society after schooling in whatsoever area. We plead your excellency to give this a second thought to continue the gesture of goodwill in order to help the poor families and reduce the stress and remove the burden of payment who cannot afford the payment of fees. By which we can also reduce the criminal, dubious or fraudulent acts to earn money for survival due to lack of education and low literacy rate in the economy.

I will be delighted to see the outcome of your decision and if my writings can be of some help to the society and make this a better place to live in with your guaranteed help to continue the financial aid to the senior secondary school certificate examination.

Thanking you in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Signature

Match the example to the word. 1. purring kitten onomatopoeia 2. playing people passed the pond alliteration 3. I know that goat
dolphi86 [110]
The answers will be as follows

1. purring kitten. Onomatopoeia. An Onomatopoeia is a word that has the same attribute as the sound associated with it. In this case, the word "purring" sound like the actual purr of a cat. Other example may be words that are used as sound effects like "Ding!".

2. playing people passed the pond. Alliteration. An Alliteration is the repetitive use of the initial sound to form a melodious or pleasant musical feel. In this case the initial sound of /p/ is used. This is common among poem writers and lyricists.

3. I know that goat odor. Assonance. This is a bit like alliteration which deals with musicality of a piece, but assonance is on the vowel that occur inside the words of the line, in this instance the sound that produces the melodic feel is the sound /o/. 

4. <span>He looked at his totaled bicycle and said calmly, "It's just a scratch." Understatement. The speaker here uses an understatement of what happened, he is downplaying the incident. This is commonly used in writing stories, especially when the incident that happens to the speaker forces him to resign with the fact that it happened.

5. </span><span>Although the monarchy lacks formal power, he still respects the crown.
Metonymy. Metonymy is the use of a particular word to refer another term, event or person. In this case the speaker used the word crown to refer to the royalty. Other examples may be the white house, to refer to the US government.

6.</span><span> My computer is moody this morning. Personification. The device used here tries to personify the inanimate object. The computer which is an inanimate object was given a character of a human, which was being moody. Another example may be, My alarm clock starts my day by screaming at me.

7. </span><span>"Son, that finger painting is a masterpiece!" Hyperbole. The statement here is overstating the facts. Knowing the the child was the son of the speaker, and that it was a finger painting, which is a common activity of a child, it could be deduce as such.

8. </span><span>"This is wonderful," he said while looking at his totaled bicycle. Irony. The speaker here does not mean that his totaled bike is totally awesome, instead he means the opposite, which was this suck and now he has to either replace the bike, or go without it.

</span><span>9. Her smile is a breath of fresh air. Metaphor. Metaphor is the use of a term to describe a thing that is not related to it. A breath of fresh air would be oxygen, but a smile does not give that. But speaker here means that her smile is full of life and makes him feel happy.

10. </span><span>His disposition is as light as a marshmallow. Simile. Simile are comparisons of objects that uses the marker "like" or "as _____ as a". This is commonly used in most poetry, and often the first literary device a person learns to use.
