Answer:
I would say it's a hyperbole because it's a dramatic exaggeration, they didn't <em>actually</em><em> </em>get split in two.
Answer:
More chairs are needed to make seating available for all attendees.
Explanation:
To make an implicit meaning is to say about something but not mentioned or expressed directly. It may be stated in some way but not directly mentioned.
In the given excerpt from <em>Infinite Jest </em>by David Foster Wallace, the narrator talks about the interview room that he was seated in. The only implicit detail he furnished was that the room needs more chairs for others to be seated. This is seen in the passage <em>"the others sit, stand and stand"</em>, while the other options are clearly stated.
Hal seated in a chair with his ankle on his knee (<em>"ankle on knee, hands together in the lap of my slacks"</em>), the Director of Composition involved in the interview process (<em>"interview room’s other personnel include: the University’s Director of Composition"</em>) and the tennis coach with money in his pocket (<em>"jingles pocket-change"</em>) are all stated explicitly.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
It contradicts the meaning of what they say.
Answer:
Example of my own personal ranking:
Idly: 4
Postpone: 3
Stagnation: 1
Complacency: 2
Yearning: 5
Languished: 6
Explanation:
The question is asking for your own opinion and experience. If you are familiar with the words, meaning if you have heard it before, know the word or its meaning, or used the word to add a low number next to it. For example, out of those given words I use the word "stagnation" more often so I would rank that as a 1. If you have never heard the word and or are unfamiliar with it, then you will give it a high number. For instance, I never use the word "languished" so I would mark that down as a 6. Basically there is no right or wrong answer. It is all based upon the individual - you.
