Answer:

Zeugma

Explanation:

A zeugma consists in blending together grammatically and logically different ideas. The words <em>paychecks, hope, fear </em>and <em>government surplus food</em> denote grammatically and logically different ideas. For example, <em>hope </em>and <em>fear </em>are abstract nouns; <em>paychecks </em>and <em>food </em>are<em> </em>concrete nouns.

A description is abstract if it is very general, true or false?
anastassius [24]

False,

Use the adjective abstract for something that is not a material object or is general and not based on specific examples. Abstract is from a Latin word meaning "pulled away, detached," and the basic idea is of something detached from physical, or concrete, reality.

Arrange David's goals in the order that he achieved them to become an English teacher in Spain. David was selected for a teachin
Nostrana [21]

Based on the phrases, this is the correct order of how David was able to teach English in Spain.

.


A. David took some elective courses in creative writing and linguistics while he was in high school

<span>B. David put in four hours of study each day to earn straight As throughout high school.  </span>

C. David received his Bachelor of Arts degree in education with a minor in Spanish. 

<span> D. </span><span>David completed his Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Master's program</span>

<span>E .David applied for a teaching program that allowed him to teach English to Spanish speakers in the United States</span>.

F. David was selected for a teaching program in his school and was sent to teach English in Spain.

 

I think David had a background about English when he was in High school. He was able to practice it by writing. Both A and B happened in his high school years, that is why they are ranked a and b. Then the rest would most probably happen after high school
