Answer: One listener interrupts the speaker by inserting an opinion.
Explanation:
In order for a successful group discussion to take place, it is important that all of the students listen to each other. Everyone's opinion must be taken into consideration, and everyone should be given a chance to express it. However, if the students interrupt each other while speaking, the speaker then cannot make his point clear and convey his idea. In this light, the action that would be the most disruptive to the discussion is - One listener interrupts the speaker by inserting an opinion. Of course, it is not appropriate to laugh at the opinion presented by another student either, but at least the student is not interrupted in the middle of his speech.
The setting in Melville’s “<em>Bartleby the Scrivener</em>” is a crucial element in the story. The extended title, “<em>A Story of Wall-Street</em>”, provides the specific setting as regards place. At that time, Wall Street had become an important financial center in America. As regards the year of publication, the work was first published in 1953 which was a time of rapid development in American economy.
The story takes place in a law office in Manhattan. The office presents an <u>unfriendly environment</u> that resembles the <u>business-based atmosphere of Wall Street</u>. The space is described as “<em>entirely unhallowed by humanizing domestic associations</em>” (p.36). In that way, the author describes the <u>impersonality of a business society</u>. In this context, the author does not provide the reader with any information about the characters apart from their particular behavior in the office. Also, the word “walls” is repeated many times throughout the story and they refer to the barriers between employer and employee.
Fairy tale would fall under Fantasy with things such as Fairies and Leprechauns, but folktale would have characters such as Paul Bunyan that dont have the extreme fantasy aspect.
