Answer:

this is an excerpt from the "Allegory of the cave" written by Plato.

Explanation:

The "Allegory of the cave" was a story created by Plato to show how the knowledge of a truth is directly linked to the individual knowledge of individuals, mainly individuals who are in a leadership position.

This allegory can be interpreted as the way that Plato found to show how the human being has constantly regressed, sinking into alienations and becoming a victim of the cave itself, even having the intellect necessary to be free. This is happening because the human being is indulging in laziness, stimulated by the quick access to information and the lack of reasoning that this causes.

What type of diction is used in paragraph 15 of The Doll’s House?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The diction of paragraph 15 is formal without colloquialism and the use of informal expressions and words.

Explanation:

Katherine Mansfield wrote this short story titled "The Doll's House" to clarify that marriage should join equals and not masters and minions.  This agrees with the view that friends should marry and not strangers who do not know and respect  one another.  The story encourages the dissolution of any marriage which is not based on equal rights for the partners.  It condemns people's misunderstanding of what marriage is all about.  Marriage is a relationship based on love.  It is not a contract of convenience or trade of some goods.
