Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "satire" as "a way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way, especially in order to make a political point, or a piece of writing that uses this style."

The following phrase from the passage best helps the reader to identify the passage as a satire :

He has been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers.

This passage has been taken from part three of Gulliver's Travels. It is a satire based on the Royal Society's scientific and experimental approach at the time of the publication of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels."

The answer to the question "Which of the following sentences most clearly expresses an opinion?" is B.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Thematic statement: Participating in sports is a great benefit for the body, but this practice should not interfere with other important elements such as education and physical capacity.

Rhetorical strategy with logos: If being an athlete impairs academic performance, or if the practice of exercise is causing some harm to the body, the sport is not beneficial but harmful.

Explanation:

In "The Proper Place for Sports," Roosevelt argues about his son's desire to join the school's football team. In the letter Roosevelt is concerned that the boy's physical condition is sufficient for the sport he wants to practice. However, Roosevelt agrees to let him take the test if the coach says he is not in danger of health. Roosevelt also says that playing sports is very important, but this should not be done to the detriment of the academic performance of the boy, who must maintain good grades and be concerned with studies.

Accordingly, we can say that Roosevelt is in accordance with the thematic statement and rhetorical strategy shown above. He agrees that if sport is damaging the body and academic performance, sport is not being beneficial and, therefore, losing its main function.
