Both Peter and Anne don't get along with their mothers mainly because of the generation gap seprating teenagers and parents. Peter is embarrassed with his mother because she fights with the father in front of everyone. Anne and Margot understand their mother tries her best, but Anne is still much closer to her father as he teaches her, laughes with her, and is overall a more relax kind of parent. Margot's and Anne's mother is more strict as she scolds them when making noice in the Annex.
<span>A parallel construction refers to the fact that the same form of a word or phrase is used in all of its examples. So, having this in mind, the correct answer is A. being happy, being sad, being depressed, because all of these constructions have a gerund being + an adjective. The other examples aren't as uniform as the first one is, which is why they are not parallel. </span>
The letter from Samuel Johnson shown above was made as a refusal to request a woman who would like to receive sponsorship from a bishop to send her son to university.
In the Letter, Johnson explains the reasons that led him to reject this request, stating that they cannot ask the bishop he does not know, sponsorship for a boy the bishop does not know. This is because this type of sponsorship was something very big, with great economic expense. Therefore, this was not offered to strangers, but only to people with whom the sponsors had knowledge and a certain intimacy.
In this letter, Johnson makes recurring use of ethos and logos. He uses ehos, when he shows that he is rejecting the request in the most ethical and respectable way possible, and, he uses logos, when he shows that the refusal is not being made for personal reasons, but for the logic of the situation.
Finally, Johnson says that he believes that the woman's son is a brilliant boy and that it is not necessary for him to go to university to be a great man.
