...Well, we are finally getting what we richly deserve—the Adjusted Compensation Act is law. Even though Calvin Coolidge wouldn'

t put his John Hancock on the bill, Congress did right by us! Sometimes I think our illustrious President is just too wrapped up in the interests of business to pay much attention to the little guys. Remember how he wouldn't talk turkey with Gompers when the cops in Boston went out on strike. Course back then we thought he was just worried about public safety. I'm never too sure what to think of him — if he was willin' to jabber and jaw once in a while we might get more of an idea of just what he's all about!
What is the allusion in this passage?


You may need to use a dictionary.


A.

Jabber and jaw

B.

Cops

C.

John Hancock

Answer:

C. John Hancock.

Explanation:

An allusion is a figurative speech when a reference is made to something that is unrelated. In other words, an allusion is the use of one object to refer to something that is not related to each other.

In the given passage, the allusion made is in the use of the term <em>"John Hancock"</em>. This is in reference to President John Hancock, who was famous for his big and bold signature when signing the Declaration of Independence. Since then, the term "John Hancock or Hancock" is used to refer to one's act of signing signatures.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

How does Mrs. Stevenson perceive herself? sorry wrong number
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Mrs. Stevenson is a lady who is disabled in her bed and only has the telephone within her reach. She is totally flustered and nervous and realizes that she could be the person who is gonna be killed.

Explanation:

 This question refers to the work <em>Sorry, Wrong Number by Lucille Fletcher. </em>

This lady had a lot of money and jewelry, and could not get out of bed as she was invalid.

She finds herself in front of a line crossing that allows her to listen to a conversation in which two individuals speak of the imminent murder of a woman who is gradually acquiring her characteristics, in her deranged mind and in reality.

 She becomes more and more crazy and desperate from the moment everyone leaves her aside: it is confirmed that the police do not give credit to her request for help, the nurses are absent, the husband is unreachable, etc.

All this happens until she realizes that it is she herself who will be killed.

Which theme from Macbeth do these lines support?
Deffense [45]
The correct answer here is C. The lines 'If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature?' most likely refer to the theme that things are not always what they seem. This is illustrated by the fact that the character is negating the fact that something is good through referring to events that have unsettled them.
