Answer:

A) Malapropism

Explanation:

A malapropism is the use of an incorrect word in the place of a correct word with a similar sound. This usually results in comical or nonsensical statements. Malapropisms can happen by mistake in natural speech, but they are also common as jokes and humorous utterances in comedy and literature. The name comes from the character of Mrs. Malaprop, from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play <em>The Rivals</em>.

Discuss Jonker's portrayal of freedom from oppression in the child is not dead
DiKsa [7]
This portrayal is depicted in the image of the child who, although dead, lifts his fists, as a sign of resistance. Thanks to the oppression, the child is dead in his mother's arms, "with a bullet through his brain". But thanks to the people's undying urge for freedom, he isn't dead after all. He lives in their memories. He lives as a symbol of their desire to break free and their resistance to brutality and tyranny.

bekas [8.4K]
Since extensive writing is one that that is meant to be shared, you would pick an answer that you would be able to share and isnt personal. eliminate all three options except the one in which it isnt personal and you wouldnt mind it being shared. so writing an essay on a research topic is the answer.<span />
