Answer:

The answer is hyperbole.

Explanation:

It's a familiar question.

Also, Hyperbole is an exaggeration. The most blatant display of exaggeration here is the author's description of her laughter.

The following lines show this:

"...and it nearly killed her laughing"

"...she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed;"

She couldn't have possibly laughed herself lame of course but the hyperbole is used in showing how hard she must have laughed at what he was telling her.

Read this paragraph from the article, "Caring for Vets Should Be National Duty."
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Celebratory.

Explanation:

A tone of a paragraph represents the writer's/author's feeling and emotions towards a particular passage. In this passage, the author is presenting a celebratory tone.

This is because in the passage the author is relaying a welcoming news which was the news of how Congress had finally agreed to fund the VA Mission Act. This is a celebratory victory because this bill has been finally passed after much budgetary disputes in the Congress. Thus, the author is happy and excited for the passage of this long debated bill.

THESE MUST BE AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH
ohaa [14]
1. Fast foods contain an insane amount of calories, lots of fat, and are pretty much high in everything you want your food to be low in like sodium. They have no nutritional value, whatsoever. For example, a McDonald's hamburger contains 250 calories, 469 mg of sodium, and 10 grams of fat. And this is for an everyday burger. A big mac contains 33 grams of fat, 563 calories, and 1,007 grams of sodium! In moderation, such fast food isn't that big of a deal, but having too much fast food you can develop diabetes or heart disease. The excessive amounts of sodium can lead to elevated blood pressure. The fats and trans fats can lead to clogged arteries. Again, I'm not saying eating one big mac can lead to such diseases. Just eat these foods in moderation.

2. A child should get from 1,000-1,800 calories a day (between the ages 2-18). For most children, that's about one big mac. Too many fats and calories can lead to obesity, atheroscerlosis, and clogged arteries. 

3. To help children with addiction to fast food, parents can have them d<span>rink water (thirst is often confused with hunger or food cravings), eat more protein, etc. Also, they can start slowly adding healthy aspects into their everyday diets. For example, gummy bears as dessert can be switched with various fruits. Instead of filling your tummy with artificial sugars, you get the natural sugars from fruits. Also, you can do simple things like blotting the oils off pizza with a napkin which cuts down on calories.

I hope this helps:) I spent a REALLY long time on this:)</span>
