Answer:

-cratic means "a type of government". So, we know that "autocratic" is a type of government.

We also know that "auto" means "self". If you put "auto" and "cratic" together, you get a "self type of government".

So, in the reading, we can say that "autocratic" is a rule where only one person carries all the power in the government, like a dictatorship. We can also tell that an autocracy is a negative thing, as people are afraid of the government and there is political unrest.

Hope this helps!

Read the excerpt from “A Visit from the Goon Squad.” Scotty climbed onto the platform and sat on the stool. Without a glance at
BlackZzzverrR [31]
To answer this question, we first have to clarify some terms.

A frame story occurs when a story is told within a story. For example, in the movie "The Princess Bride," the story is told by a grandfather telling a story to his grandson. The story he tells is about the Princess Bride. The above excerpt does not have a frame structure. As a result, option B. can be eliminated.

A flashback occurs when a segment of the story goes back in time. For example, if the narrator is in the middle of a scene and then thinks about a time from his childhood, that is a flashback. However, in this excerpt from the novel, all of the action is occurring in the present. As a result, option D. can be eliminated.

That leaves options A. and C. It is clear the narration is occurring in chronological order. However, is that the best answer? To decide, look closely at what is happening in the scene. 

The narrator is doing two things here. First, the narrator describes Scotty's actions. Second, the narrator is commenting on them. For example: He begins to play a song, but then the narrator switches to commentary and describes the song's "gushy metallic complexity." Scotty plays two more songs, and the narrator comments "their amplification was fine." This format continues throughout the selection.

Therefore, the best answer to this question is option A: Multiple switches are used between the action and commentary.

In titles which words are typically not capitalized small words articles first words single word titles
slava [35]
<span>The correct answer is articles. In a title articles will rarely be capitalised. Articles are the words which come before nouns, such as 'an' and 'the' which are not the most important words within the title and do therefore not warrant the capitalisation.</span>
