Please read the following selection: The Naismith Award is given to the nation's best college basketball player. Voters found ro

om on their ballots this year for Illinois guard Frank Williams. His team is not playing well, even though he is. They also nominated Maryland's Lonny Baxter. Baxter is playing well but averages only 15.3 points a game. The most surprising name on the list was Kansas forward Nick Collison. Collison is having a fine year for one of the nation's top teams. He is probably only his team's third-best player. For some reason, the sportswriters voting on this award did not pick Kansas player Kirk Hinrich. That is hard to understand. It is possible that no one has been more valuable to the Kansas team than him. This includes player of the year candidate Drew Gooden. Hinrich is at least one of the twenty best players in college this season. He may even be one of the ten best. What is the main idea in this passage? Question 16 options: A:Kansas is one of the nation's top college basketball teams, and it has at least three great players on the team. B:The people who nominated players for the Naismith Award are actually sportswriters from around the country. C: Kansas player Kirk Hinrich is one probably of the ten best college basketball players in the entire country. D: The list of players nominated for the Naismith Award is surprising because of who it includes and who is missing.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Explanation:

1. Family

In this excerpt, the boys are talking about a possible consequence for people who reveal the secrets. They decide that killing families would be a great deterrent. However, they realize Huck doesn't have any family worth killing. This shows how important family is to the characters and how little Huck's father was valued in society.

Helmer says, "no man would sacrifice his honor." Nora says, "It is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done." In this excerpt, they are showing the differences between a man and a woman.

4. Supernatural beliefs

In this excerpt, the speaker is comparing a sound a ghost makes. He also talks about getting some bad luck. Then does a few actions that would hopefully ward off any evil coming his way. The superstitious nature of his behavior is evidence of supernatural beliefs.

garri49 [273]

The correct answer is:

  • <em>It makes fun of human weaknesses through humorous characters. </em>
  • <em>It exposes human flaws by exaggerating characters' weaknesses. </em>
  • <em>It ridicules socially acceptable behavior by showing how characters' good intentions backfire. </em>

Explanation:

<em>Characterization is the way information about a character is delivered to the audience</em>, while <em>satire is a technique used to expose and criticize</em> through humor, iron, sarcasm  and exaggeration. Characterization through satire helps the author show<u> the weaknesses, flaws and awkward behaviors</u> of a character in an entertaining way to the audience and change their perspective towards the character.
