When these words refer to LOCATION:

"on" = "on top of", "on the front surface of" or "traveling for"

Ex. 1: "The cat is on the chair."
Ex. 2: "I watched the movie on TV."
Ex. 3: "He is on a business trip to Mexico."

"in" = "inside of" or "attending"

Ex. 1: "The dirty dishes are in the dishwasher."
Ex. 2: "Mr. Jones is in a meeting right now."

"at" = "near", "visiting", or it is used for events / entertainment (indoors or outdoors), or for locations where the purpose is more important than the building

Ex. 1: "The horses were at the trough, eating."
Ex. 2: "We had dinner at my friend's house."
Ex. 3: "John is at the movies right now."
Ex. 4: "I saw Mary at the post office."

With locations that have a specific purpose, you use "at" when you are talking about the purpose and "inside" when you need to talk about the building itself:

Ex. 1: "The children are at school right now." (purpose, i.e., education)
Ex. 2: "There was a fire inside the school today." (the building structure)

In English, there are always exceptions to the rule. But these are good, general guidelines that should help with many of your problems of usage.

Answer:

A. to show how handicrafts are still thriving

C. to show a wide range of popular handicrafts.

Explanation:

The cultural, historical, and artistic history of a nation may be seen in its handicrafts since they are works of art in their own right. Among the many vital economic sectors, the handicraft industry is of special mention. There have been a number of efforts made to categorize and classify the industries that make up the wider tech sector. The following definition of the handicraft industry is meant to be all-inclusive.

I attached the Handicrafts story to answer this question.

Which literary technique is used in the excerpt from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Flashback

Explanation:

Novel Frankenstein is written in flashback method. The story in Frankenstein's dialogs and almost the whole novel is told in flashback. This way of telling a story is good because we have the impression that there are no mediums between the characters, it makes it a first hand story.

Flashback is a method that represents the disconnection of chronological order. When the story is told in flashback one continuous action is interrupted by the events that happened in the past. This way the writer gives us the background of the story and at the same time he continues with the story.
