Answers with Explanations:

1. Ned said, <em>"I just love working in the hot sun. When can we do it again?"</em>

Ned exclaimed the opposite of what he's actually feeling because, in reality, <em>he doesn't want to work under the hot sun.</em> By asking the question<em> "When can we do it again?,"</em> actually means that<u> he is not looking forward to another day to working in the hot sun.</u>

2. Billy Fisher was a minor character and remained one as an adult.

This statement actually meant that <em>Billy Fisher's importance in the story only remained as a minor one </em>and <u>he never progressed</u> until the he grew older into an adult.

3. Kara read that Tom Sawyer tricked the boys. What a good friend!" she remarked.

Kara actually meant that Tom Sawyer's tricking the boys was a <u>mischievous thing to do.</u> Thus, she stated in verbal irony that he was a <em>"good friend" </em>when, in fact, what he did wasn't good.

4. His friends none the wiser, Tom surveyed the results of his whitewashing.

Tom actually didn't do the whitewashing, it was Ben and the his other friends whom he lured into whitewashing as he told them it was an enjoyable thing to do. Being given the chance to do the whitewashing, Tom's friends gave him a prize in return.

What are some examples of foreshadowing in House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar?
Mandarinka [93]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.

For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;

“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”

Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".

Which option best revises this paragraph to maintain a formal tone throughout
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

If you read sentence 3, you'll see that it says "a bunch." This is very informal. D could've been a contender, but it was needlessly wordy and it made the paper hard to read. So, A is the correct choice. :)
