Answer:

A; an exact copy of the author's words

Explanation:

<u>Concepts:</u>

  • A quotation is a collection of words taken from a text or speech and stated again by someone other than the original author/speaker. You must put quotation marks (") around the text that you've copied from the original person to express quotations.
  • Example: "To live without Hope is to Cease to live." - Fyodor Dostoevsky, Russian Novelist

<u>Solution:</u>

Let's go through each definition in the answer choices and see which one best fits with our definition of a quote.

A; An exact copy of the author's words: A is correct because in our definition, it states that a quotation is a bunch of words taken from the original author/speaker that's repeated again. Quotations are exact copies from what the genuine author/speaker said.

B; a shorter version of the author's words: B is incorrect because a shorter version of the author's words isn't necessarily copying everything they said, word by word, and putting quotation marks around. Let's take this for example: "The soul is healed by being with children." - Fyodor Dostoevsky. If I were to remove some parts of it, let's say I'd end up with this: "The soul is healed" - Fyodor Dostoevsky. As you can see, it's not an exact copy from what the original author said, so B cannot be correct.

C; a summary of the author's words: C is incorrect, because as it explicitly said, it's a summary of what the author/speaker stated. A summary is a set of statements for the main points of an article, speech, book, etc. You could write a summary about Crime and Punishment (novel) and include some quotations in there, but majority of it will be written by yourself, not the author.

D; a translation of the author's words: D is incorrect because that's known as literal translation. Literal translation occurs when there's a part of the text being translated word by word without looking at how they're used as a phrase, sentence, etc.

Write a diary where you express your frustration for not being able to communicate with your father​
liraira [26]

June 20, 2021

Dear Diary,

I am unable to communicate with my father. No matter how much I try he does not understand me. He does not understand that the man I choose is good for me. I am truly frustrated at the fact that he does not comprehend me. I deeply desire that he mentally understood that my beloved Eddie is a good man, he’s from my same religion, and I love him with my whole heart. Also, Eddie loves me back. He truly appreciates me and consideres me his future bride, we even are studying the book “The secret to family happiness” and the Bible to guide us. We both want our marriage to be happy and without any problems, the reason behind this is because problems cause the relationship to break down little by little. Eddie loves me very much and I love him back, we hope to construct a family together and live together always through the good and bad times. Our desire is to grow old together and live in peace.

My father is opposed firmly to my relationship with Eddie because Eddie is from my same religion; we are both one of Jehovah Witnesses. Also, Eddie is not from my same country or city. He lives very far away from me. Another fact is that Eddie is much older than me. But, those things even though they seem like cons, I don’t mind them. Eddie and me love each other greatly. What my father does not understand is that Eddie and me are not infatuated, nor are we just physically attracted. We are both in love we one another. Eddie respects me, honors me and even cares for my well being. Eddie is the man I have prayed for my whole entire life. How could I leave such a fantastic person just because one person is infatuated with the idea of me leaving him? That won’t happen. Beforehand, I state that I am not infatuated. I’ve used my mind and intellect on Eddie to see if Eddie is the right person for me and after much consideration I found that Eddie is the right person for me.

My father has hidden my cellphone from me in several occasions so I won’t speak to my beloved. He’s used verbal attacks against me so would change my mind and leave my beloved Eddie. He even threatened to disown me. However, my stance was firm. No matter what, I’d stay loyal to Eddie.

What is Montagu's view of swift in the passage, and how does she use sarcasm' satire, or irony to convey that point of view? Use
Nikolay [14]

The poem is about the toilet humor, and the satire is seen on the upper-class woman in the dressing room with her constant efforts to make her beautiful.

Explanation

She takes five hours to beautify herself. Ideally, this is satirical.

The iron is seen when a man visits a prostitute but fails to perform.

However, he supposedly questions Swift and says that Montagu's knowledge lies on prostitutes.

The poem, therefore, is generally ironical and malicious since it targets specific people within the setting.
