Answer:

D. This voice highlights the absurdity of thinking that there is something wrong about a wet umbrella.​

Explanation:

Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote "Uses and Abuses of the Umbrella" to present a humorous take on the importance and concept of the umbrella. The hilarious story delves into how the speaker 'assumes' to be the true way to use the umbrella.

In the given passage from the story, Marquez stated that <em>"a wet umbrella is an accident, a barbarism, a spelling mistake"</em>. This is to say that there is no use for an umbrella that is wet. Moreover, by further stating that such umbrellas <em>"must be spread open in a corner until it is fully corrected and has become a true umbrella once again"</em> shows how the speaker thinks of wet umbrellas. The voice highlights how absurd anyone can be in thinking that there is something wrong with a wet umbrella.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

garri49 [273]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

If Watanabe's account is a first-hand account, it means that he adds veracity to the transmission, as it reports situations that he witnessed and that can extend the understanding of the subject being addressed. The importance of translating this account into English is to allow everyone to have access to the information that Watanabe can release.

What do you think of queen gertrude
docker41 [41]
First, Queen Gertrude in Shakespeare's novel is the queen of Denmark, and mother of Hamlet.
In the story, you can only analysis Gertrude by what others say about her, not by what she says. First, she only cares about her outside look and external pleasure. She's very sexually, which made Hamlet angry on her. She was even involved in plot of Claudius during his murder plan, and of course she announced everything when Hamlet confronted her: From adultery, to murder. But, as we can see later, all her lies were to protect everyone around her. She could have told the king that Hamlet killed Polonius,  but she lies to him to protect Hamlet. Her love for everyone is big, since she cares about everyone and try to protect them as much as she can, staying loyal and faithful to them. But at the end, she gain her forgiveness for her sensual nature and shallow. But she dies drinking from a poison goblet.

Hope this Helps! :)
