Answer:
The ironed clothes and warm slippers signified loyalty to Amir.
Explanation:
He was there in the hand-washed and ironed clothes on the cane-seat chair, in the warm slippers left outside my door, in the wood already burning in the stove when I came down for breakfast. Everywhere I turned, I saw signs of his loyalty, his ....... unwavering loyalty. Ch. 8 pg. 114 <em>The Kite Runner</em>
Answer: The man is not completely well. He is a bit groggy when others first lift him at the site of the accident.
Explanation:
This is from the novel “The Night Face Up” written by Julio Cortazar.
The accident happens at the beginning of the book- lines 27-32. A young man who who owns a motorcycle and had an accident. He got carried away by his environment; the long street filled with trees, the very little traffic with spacious villas and gardens along the sidewalk.
Because he allowed himself to be carried away, he couldn’t prevent the accident with the woman because it was already too late.
After the incident, he was hurt on one knee, bleeding in his mouth and felt pain in his arm when he was lifted.
This shows that the man is not completely well but a bit groggy when others first lift him at the scene.
Answer: B. It causes the reader to think about how doing nothing should be easy, but in fact can be quite hard.
A paradox is a contradictory statement that nevertheless contains an element of truth. It is a dramatic figure of speech that is often used when describing absurd situations. In this case, the paradox is the fact that Algernon believes doing nothing to be hard, contrary to most people's assumptions. He goes even further by saying that work that is pointless is still preferable to doing nothing.
