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.

Read this paragraph.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The paragraph has a first-person narrator sharing an eyewitness account.

Explanation:

The authors writes/talks in the first person using words like "I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours." "I, me, my, mine" are called first-person singular pronouns. These are pronouns you use when you are stating you did or are doing. "We, us, our, ours" are first person possessive pronouns. This is when you are talking about something <em>and </em>another person are doing. There are also possessive pronouns which are slightly more complicated because they can fall into more than one category of pronouns. Possessive pronouns are used when you or you and more than one person own or are in possession of an object.

"First-person singular pronouns are 'I,' 'me,' 'my,' and 'mine. ' First-person plural pronouns are 'we,' 'us,' 'our,' and 'ours. ' First-person possessive pronouns are 'my,' 'mine,' 'our,' and 'ours. ' First-person subjective pronouns are 'I,' 'we,' 'my,' and 'our."

Not only did the quote come from that website but I would recommend going there for information.

This is the first question I have ever answered, seeing as though I made my account about 10 minutes prior to this, so I hope this helps and that it wasn't too bad.

vazorg [7]

It is far quicker to just remember that 0.25≡1/4

The ≡ means equivalent to

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>:

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms.

0.25×1 → 0.25×100/100

25/100→

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We know that 25 will divide exactly into 100 so we can and may do this:
