<span>Well, the most immediate contextual change is the setting itself: from Spain to the United States. Both have diverse terrains, but the connected-ness of the USA (via highways/interstates) would allow for a differently paced story. Additionally, the "resurrection of chivalry" would be replaced with some other revival movement to a "simpler time" and its ethics. To be fair, that notion is already prevalent among many conservatives and anti-progressives. The discourses between new Quixote and Panza would likely be as fire-y as recent Presidential debates, stoked in populist ideals and failed promises from those recent agents of change to society as a whole. Overall, it would be an interesting take on an old classic, and likely prompt serious discussion about our romanticizing of the past.</span>

Levart [38]

The correct answer is B indeed. It is an example of plain folks because the speaker appeals to the citizens of his town, and to the knowledge that he shares with the other members of the community. This strategy is quite basic, as shown by this example, because the author makes a claim that most people would agree with, without actually providing evidence or a series of logical arguments.

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:

How does Chaucer characterize the young man speaking in this passage?

A. as uncomfortable

B. as loyal

C. as deceitful

D. as innocent

Answer:

Chaucer characterizes the young man:

C. as deceitful

Explanation:

When we call someone deceitful, we mean that person is false, untruthful, untrustworthy. Notice that Chaucer shows the young man is deceitful through the character's own words. He knows he is supposed to split the gold between the three of them. However, once the youngest is gone to town, he proposes to the other man that they split it only between the two of them. He clearly cannot be trusted. Therefore, letter C is the best option for this question.

In "Heat," H.D. uses hyperbole when she describes heat that actually prevents fruit from falling. How does this hyperbole affect
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

"Heat", by Hilda Doolittle, is a really short poem with several characteristics. One of them is the amount of imagery that the poet uses to communicate not so much a message but the impressions generated by what is being perceived by the speaker. We do not know who this speaker is, or what the setting is, all we known is that most likely this person is experiencing a really torrid place, most likely the tropics, as this person speaks about fruit that falls from trees. Probably one of the most impressive images this author gives is the one about heat. The poet uses such words as "cut" and "rend open" to let us know one thing; that wherever this person is, the heat is really high. In fact, the image is so strong, that through the hyperbole of heat preventing fruit from falling, you cannot help but think about the thickness of it and you feel as if you were going through a curtain of it. This is why the correct answer is A: It emphasizes how intense and powerful the heat is.
