Answer: C. a relationship needs more than routine.
Explanation:
This question relates to short story, <em>The Egyptian Tomb </em>by<em> Beatriz Espejo</em>. In it we see a mother and daughter who have a routine Tuesday custom of going out to eat.
Inferences made in the passage show that both women are not particularly happy with the way this meeting keeps going as it feels like a mere routine that they abide by each time. This shows that for a relationship to truly be intimate or to have meaning, it needs to be more than just a routine that people get bored of and always look forward to an end of.
Satire is the use of humor, exaggeration and irony to express human vices or foolishness. It is often used in the political arena or as a way to criticize government policy. There are two main types of satire: Horatian and Juvenalian.
- Horatian satire is more tolerant and humorous; its main purpose is to amuse. Juvenalian tends to be more serious.
- Horatian satire tends to be more witty.
- Juvenalian satire focuses on personal anger, and attacks vices such as hypocrisy and corruption.
- The language in a Juvenalian satire, while funny, can also be bitter and pessimistic.
Two works that are well-known examples of satire are:
- "The R a p e of the Lock" by Alexander Pope. This is an example of Horatian satire. This narrative poem tells the story of a woman who gets a lock of hair stolen from her. However, the story is told as a Greek epic, contrasting the absurdity of the event with its exaggerated style. It is humorous, while slightly critical of the social behaviour of the upper classes.
- "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is a satire that argues that the problems of Irish poverty would be solved if Irish parents sold their children as food for the rich classes. The language is a lot more poignant and reprobatory, and its hidden message is one of indignation. It is an example of a Juvenalian satire.
