Answer:

She would explain why she is so concerned about Girl.

Explanation:

The passage would most likely change if Girl's mother was the narrator by explaining her concern for her daughter and why she would want her to be upright and be a good daughter.

From the passage given, it is narrated from the perspective of Girl where she talks about how her mother always tells her not to sing Benna in Sunday School, eat her food in such a way that it won't turn her stomach, walk like a lady and so on. We can infer that Girl is exasperated and tired of her mother's interference in her life and does not really understand her mother as she believes she is trying to control her life.

Narrating the story from her mother's point of view would enable her to explain why she is so concerned about her daughter, not as if she is controlling her.

Answer:

Hate crimes

Explanation:

A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias. To collect statistics, the FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” Hate itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties. Hate crimes are the highest priority of the FBI’s civil rights program because of the devastating impact they have on families and communities. The Bureau investigates hundreds of these cases every year, and we work to detect and prevent incidents through law enforcement training, public outreach, and partnerships with community groups.

Traditionally, FBI investigations of hate crimes were limited to crimes in which the perpetrators acted based on a bias against the victim’s race, color, religion, or national origin. Also, investigations were restricted to those wherein the victim was engaged in a federally protected activity. With the passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, the Bureau became authorized to also investigate crimes committed against those based on biases of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or gender.

In order to make his story humorous, Washington Irving uses __________ when describing traits like Rip Van Winkle's laziness and

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

Exaggeration is a literary device that is used to state something in an over-emphasizing manner to explain it as either a better or worse. Or in simple words, we can conclude that this literary device is used by a writer to spice up the story. An embellishment, on the other hand, is a device used to ornament something.

Washington Irving in his short story "Rip Van Winkle," has used the literary device of imagery, humour, and satire. Washington has made the story humorous by using the device's exaggeration and embellishment.

Some examples of exaggeration and embellishments are:

Rip Van Winkle's Laziness

"Rip Van Winkle, however, was one of those happy mortals, of foolish, well-oiled dispositions, who take the world easy, eat white bread or brown, whichever can be got with least thought or trouble, and would rather starve on a penny than work for a pound."

Dame Van Winkle's nagging her husband

"A termagant wife may, therefore, in some respects, be considered a tolerable blessing; and if so, Rip Van Winkle was thrice blessed."

So, the correct answer is option third.
