Hey there!
I take it we're talking about <em>The Phantom Tollbooth.
</em>In this story, the two Kingdoms- Digitopolis and Dictionopolis, ruled by the Mathemagician and King Azaz, are not at peace.
<em />The Mathemagician believes that numbers are better than words, and Azaz thinks otherwise, and they refuse to talk with each other.
However, they both are the same in one aspect because they both agree on something, and that is that they always will agree that they always will disagree with each other.
Also, towards the end of the book (no spoilers!) they begin to realize the true meaning of working together to save the day.
Hope this helps
Answer:
1. Dion noticed that the campsite location was obscure (remote). - synonym clue
2. Pia couldn't wait to visit the menagerie—the place where the animals were kept. - definition clue
3. Unlike her last dog, who didn't know the meaning of loyalty, Violet's new dog is a staunch friend. - antonym clue
Explanation:
In sentence 1, we are literally given the synonym of the word in parentheses. The author guesses the word "obscure" might be unknown to some readers and decides to offer another word that carries the same meaning as it - a synonym - to help clarify. That is why the word "remote" is added right after "obscure".
In sentence 2, the author chose to define or explain the word "menagerie", almost like a dictionary would. He/she adds a dash after the word to then include the definition. We now know that a menagerie is the place where animals were kept.
Finally, in sentence 3, we can figure out the meaning of "staunch" by comparing it to the word "loyalty". Two dogs are being compared. One does not understand loyalty. The other one, however, is staunch. We can safely assume the latter is loyal, faithful, because of such a comparison. What the author did here was use words that have opposite meanings - antonyms - to reveal the meaning of the unknown word.
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.
