Answer:1. they'll flock in droves

2. I'm a made man forever

Explanation:

I could not find the excerpt that is missing in your question but I have found the possible answers to it.

  • ''The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is published in 1893. year and it is a short story located in Victorian London written by Mark Twain.
  • Hyperbole is a rhetorical device that can be used in poetry and oratory where it can create strong feelings and impressions. The main key that is representing a hyperbole in these two sentences is '' droves'' and ''forever''.

The meaning of hyperbole is not taken literally in many texts because of its meaning that often sounds bigger and better than it actually is.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A). It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

Explanation:

Paradox is demonstrated as the literary device in which the author presents a statement that is self-contradictory or incongruous juxtaposition of ideas which captures the readers' attention and reveal a latent truth.

As per the question, option A i.e. 'it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition' most appropriately elaborates the use of paradox in the given excerpt. The author <u>incongruously juxtaposes the conventional idea of war by presenting it as an 'adventurous expedition' which eventually turn into an 'exhaustion and war of attrition' </u>to highlight the serious concern that 'the causes for the war dampens over time and gradually all that is significant is staying alive'('no cause other than our own survival'). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

The correct answer is B. reading a magazine.
You don;t really need your skills of summarizing when you are reading a magazine, because there is nothing to summarize there - you are just reading something for fun. The other options will actually need this skill because those actions are far more demanding.
