Most Egyptian children went to school when they were eight. There were sports for boys only, which was not much fun for girls. Egyptians liked music and most children learned to play an instrument. Egyptian houses did not have as much furniture as our houses. The furniture was usually made of wood, but rich people decorated their furniture with gold and ivory. Eygptians got milk and meat from goats and they ate a lot of fish. They sweetened their with honey.
Answer:
I believe it's the last one.
Explanation:
One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire. The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution. All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect." Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful. Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home. George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages". These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society. Equality does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy. In every society there are winners and losers.
Sorry if i'm wrong.
I would say the correct answer is B. hyperbole.
Hyperbole is a figure of speech that authors use when they want to exaggerate things. So this 'vegetable love' cannot possibly grow larger than empires - the poem just wants to demonstrate the power and intensity of this love by using the figure of hyperbole. A paradox would include two completely opposite things, and <em>vast </em>and <em>slow </em>are not opposites.
