WITCHER [35]3 years ago

Answer:

O A. I have some . . . fantastic news to share.

Explanation:

Punctuation allows for a better understanding and usage of the English language in such a way that there are indications for how the sentences must be taken and how they are to be read. It also shows when and where the sentence ends, pause or even have a long pause, as in hesitation.

In the given sentences, the best show of hesitant speech is in the use of (. . .) in the sentence. This indicates that there is some sort of pause in the sentence, before "fantastic". Options C and D have no pause so they are wrong. Option B uses a hyphen, which is not how pauses are indicated.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which statement best explains why Mr. Whymper serves as an intermediary for Animal Farm? He is motivated by a desire for power.
balu736 [363]

Answer: He is motivated by financial success.

Explanation:

In George Orwell's <em>Animal Farm</em>, the animals rebel against their human farmer.    

Mr. Whymper is a human solicitor hired by Napoleon as an Animal Farm representative. He initiates the interaction between Animal Farm and the society, and is the first human the pigs interact with after the Rebellion.

Whymper is described as<em> "a sly-looking man with side whiskers, a solicitor [lawyer] in a very small way of business, but sharp enough to have realized earlier than anyone else that Animal Farm would need a broker and that the commissions would be worth having" (6.9).</em> This means that Whymper understands that he can earn a lot of money from this job, which is why he acts as an intermediary in the first place.

How does Kennedy use rhetoric to advance his purpose?
allochka39001 [22]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

By the rhetoric of talk or persuasive language, Bobby Kennedy advances to the American individuals, right off the bat to the dark individuals to not look for retribution and savagery against white individuals, but instead expand sympathy and understanding and a craving to live respectively to both highly contrasting individuals.

Concerning parallelism, in a similar vein, he says that what we don't require is division, brutality and disdain yet love and sympathy so he is differentiating the two by creating them both with their outcomes in a parallel design.
