When I was a girl, years ago, I lived in the back woods and there the number of votes cast at each election depended entirely up

on the size of the ballot box. We had what was known as the old-tissue ballots and the man who got the most tissue in was the man elected. Now the best part of our community was very much disturbed by this method, and they did not know what to do in order to get a ballot both safe and secret; but they heard that over in Australia, where the women voted, they had a ballot which was both safe and secret, so we went over there and we got the Australian ballot and we brought it here.​

Answer:

It is in the last sentence (albeit very long).

Explanation:

This is becasue an anecdote is supposed to be a hilarious and weird plot or story, right? And if you see carefully, taking away somebody else's ballot in order to make it safer is quite out of the ordinary.

Hope this helps. ;)

FromTheMoon [43]

We are on a bus.

Anything deemed to have a vast floor area in a vehicle is ON, while anything deemed to have a little floor space is IN. Large indicates that you can or must walk there (to your seat, the restroom, etc.), whereas small indicates that you can't walk there comfortably (you either just stand or sit).

She's in a car.

Large floor areas are seen as platforms for walled vehicles, while smaller floor spaces are regarded as containers. Consequently, it is in a car, a small boat, a helicopter, a rocket, a hot air balloon, or a tiny plane (think of an old biplane). There should be an elevator. However, we say on a bus, on a train, on a ship, on the space shuttle, etc.

What is a characteristic of internal monologue in Modernist writing?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer: A. It jumps from topic to topic.

One of the characteristics of Modernist writing is that it attempted to be more realistic. Moreover, it wanted to emphasize the psychological processes of its characters. In the case of internal monologue, modernist writers often portrayed this in a way that jumped from topic to topic. This is because this strategy mimics the way in which the human mind works.
