Read the passage from "The Storyteller.” The children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of the carriage. Evidently her rep

utation as a storyteller did not rank high in their estimation. In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good, and made friends with every one on account of her goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a number of rescuers who admired her moral character. "Wouldn’t they have saved her if she hadn’t been good?” demanded the bigger of the small girls. It was exactly the question that the bachelor had wanted to ask. "Well, yes,” admitted the aunt lamely, "but I don’t think they would have run quite so fast to her help if they had not liked her so much.” "It’s the stupidest story I’ve ever heard,” said the bigger of the small girls, with immense conviction. "I didn’t listen after the first bit, it was so stupid,” said Cyril. The smaller girl made no actual comment on the story, but she had long ago recommenced a murmured repetition of her favourite line. Which statement best explain s the situational irony that occurs in the passage? The aunt expects the children to laugh at the story, but they do not. The children expect their aunt to tell a funny story, but she does not. The children do not like the story, even though it is very interesting. The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

When writing a restrictive clause, introduce it with the word "that" and no comma. However, if the subject is or was a human being, use "who" to introduce the clause. When talking about people in defining (restrictive) relative clauses, who is preferred to that.

Speech for should voting be compulsory or not???
Ivan
Each year, millions of people fail to vote without reproach. Does abstention constitute a citizen's right not to vote? This article in Australian Journal of Political Science explores whether we have a legal right to a 'no vote' and if such a right should be protected as fiercely as the right to vote. Lisa Hill discusses the 'no vote', its implications for society and reaches a firm conclusion.

FrozenT [24]

a)He believes it is stealthy and all-encompassing.

He describes the fog as being everywhere when he says its on the window-panes, in the drain pools, and "into the corners of the evening". All-encompassing means that it is everywhere, surrounding everything. The way the speaker leaves out any mention of sound or noise makes it seem as though this fog moves quietly. The description of the fog going to the window-panes, the corners, and the pools gives it a quick stealthy feel.
