Read the excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note". Well, I was perfectly honest and square with her; told her I hadn

't a cent in the world but just the million-pound note she'd heard so much talk about, and it didn't belong to me, and that started her curiosity; and then I talked low, and told her the whole history right from the start, and it nearly killed her laughing. What in the nation she could find to laugh about I couldn't see, but there it was; every half-minute some new detail would fetch her, and I would have to stop as much as a minute and a half to give her a chance to settle down again. Why, she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed; I never saw anything like it. I mean I never saw a painful story--a story of a person's troubles and worries and fears--produce just that kind of effect before. Which rhetorical device is demonstrated in the excerpt? A. hyperbole B. allusion C. metaphor D. oxymoron

The rhetorical device which is use in the excerpt is option D. Oxymoron.

Explanation:

Oxymoron is a contradiction of two terms, two opposites ideas. It is used to create emphasis, to draw attention to something or to create a sense of drama for the reader. In the excerpt this retorical device appears when the character says "told her I hadn't a cent in the world but just the million-pound note".

olga nikolaevna [1]

In the Importance of Being Ernest, Cecily's response when "Ernest" asks is she will marry him is the first one: She says yes because they're already engaged.

"Ernest" actually is surprised to find out that Cecily thinks they are already engaged to be married and not only that, but she reveals that her sustained fascination with "uncle's Jack brother" had moved her to invent a romance between herself and Ernest.

Cecily had created an entire relationship with love letters included (that she herself had written), a ring, a broken engagement, and a reconciliation. All chronically told in her personal diary.

Which is most likely plot setup of a gothic novel
Sladkaya [172]
Probably the setting will be in a castle. There will be an atmosphere of mystery and suspense. Most likely an ancient prophecy, and omens, portents, and visions. Also some supernatural events. Definitely overwrought emotion. Woman threatened by a powerful male most of the time. Gloom and horror too. That's about it.

What does the sentence (words do not pay ) mean or wants to say.
Karolina [17]

Say you are saying an apology... it doesn't mean anything until your ACTIONS show it. Words do not pay the deeds you have done, you need to prove it to others, that you are truly sorry, AND change your habits. If you don't even change your habits, then people will know that you weren't even sorry in the first place, and that you just said it to get it over with. Words also do no pay what you say. If you say a word to your family that isn't so nice... words can't pay unless your actions show it.

So what I am trying to get at is words do not pay, unless your actions show that you are truly sorry, and that your actions backup your words.

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;
