That the ground was hard and dry like a bone
Answer:
First, last and main words in a title
Explanation:
The correct answer is A. We practiced for the debate and many arguments were rehearsed.
As you can see in this sentence, in the first part the pronoun <em>we </em>is used, and in the latter part, that pronoun just disappears and the sentence suddenly becomes passive rather than active. The shift isn't done properly - it is rather awkward. The other options are consistent - they use only one voice rather than two (like in sentence A).
The author has used rhetorical devices like parallelism to emphasize the miserable and hopeless condition of the migrants who were despised and hated but had no option but to swarm the town to fight hunger and survive.
<u>Explanation
:</u>
The chapter talks about the agrarians who were ruined by industrialization. Industries and technology pushed them on the roads. They moved in search of food and to give their families a meal to survive.
Parallelism has been employed at places to underline the misery, the dejection and distress.
For instance, in one of the paragraphs, just to stress on the simplicity of the agrarian folks before they were brought near to doom: ‘a simple agrarian folk who had not changed …….. who had not farmed. They had not grown up….’
This repetition of phrases and clauses is parallelism. The chapter is replete with such examples. It lends it unity and realism and appeals to emotions.
Muckalize means to damage or to make a mess of. Hope this helps! :)
