The answer is D. "In fact, he declared it was of no use to work on his farm; it was the most pestilent little piece of ground in the whole country..."

Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device used to present characters. In the case of indirect characterization, the features of characters are not directly explained but presented through their actions or words. This occurs in option D. because the narrator does not define the personality of Rip Van Winkle in this option but only explains his decision to refuse to work and through this, it is shown, Rip Van Winkle is lazy and does not feel happy about his farm.

Read the paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the main character's indecision and
vitfil [10]

In this paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the term <em>allusion</em> should be changed to the term <em>irony</em>.

This is a very common literary device where a state of affairs or events end up being the contrary to what the readers expect and often amazes the audience.

In this particular part of the play, Hamlet, who is supposed to kill Laertes with his sword, ends up being hurted and poisoned by his own sword. His lack of attention ends with his life at the same moment he ends Laerte's.

This is a very unexpected outcome because Hamlet was about to fulfill his will, but because of his inattention, the situation ends with his life as well.

What part of speech is this sentence?<br><br><br>My best friend Alex plays tennis every afternoon
Monica [59]

My friend, Alex, plays tennis.

My = possessive pronoun

friend = subject

Alex = an appositive (which is a noun that renames another noun right beside it) -- though not an adjective, it functions like one to explain which friend

plays = verb

tennis = direct object

hope this helps :)
