Read the excerpt from Act II of The Importance of Being Earnest. Cecily. [Rather shy and confidingly.] Dearest Gwendolen, there

is no reason why I should make a secret of it to you. Our little county newspaper is sure to chronicle the fact next week. Mr. Ernest Worthing and I are engaged to be married. Gwendolen. [Quite politely, rising.] My darling Cecily, I think there must be some slight error. Mr. Ernest Worthing is engaged to me. The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday at the latest.
Part of this excerpt would be considered an understatement because

when Cecily says, “There is no reason why I should make a secret of it to you,” she actually does have a reason to keep it a secret.

when Cecily says, “Mr. Ernest Worthing and I are engaged to be married,” she is actually making a joke.

when Gwendolen says, “I think there must be some slight error,” she is actually referring to the large error of Cecily saying she is engaged to Ernest.

when Gwendolen says, “The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday,” she is not telling the truth.

The narrator of "The Man He Killed" seems to believe that many people enlist because
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

They need money to live

Explanation:

From Stanza four of the poem, "the man he killed", when the speaker could not find any reason to have killed the man he went into battle with, he justified himself by saying he enlisted in the army because he could not find any meaningful thing to lay his hands on. He said he joined because he knew nothing else to do and joining the military was a last resort.

"He thought he’d ‘list, perhaps,

Off-hand like — just as I —

Was out of work — had sold his traps —

No other reason why."

Svetlanka [38]

Answer and Explanation:

Media and Information Literacy (MIL) refers to our ability to access and assess information, making informed judgments concerning it, as well our ability to create and produce media and information ourselves.

The activities I practice that illustrate MIL are:

1. On a daily basis, I access online content related to news and events, both national and international;

2. I then assess the information obtained by looking up different sources, comparing the details, and searching for comments and opinions to help me form my own judgment;

3. I use social media to express my ideas and opinions concerning different subjects and events.
