Read this passage from "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell. What is ironic about what the narrator is saying?

English
1 answer:
ANEK [815]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The narrator does not want to shoot the elephant, but he thinks he should due to the crowd expecting him to do it.

Explanation:

He actually states that he was hated by large numbers of people. He thought that he was important but they did not like him. He was full of discomfort and disgust at how the British colonial system worked.

I am going to go with the fact that being considered important does not necessarily lead to good things.

Which of the following is the main use of a semicolon?
patriot [66]

Answer:

A. to join independent clauses that appear to be connected by a conjunctive adverb

Explanation:

A semicolon is the symbol ";" and it is used in a variety of situations:

- to separate a series/list that already includes commas

<em>e.g. I travelled to Miami, Florida; Austin, Texas; and Los Angeles, California.</em>

- to join independent clauses that are closely related in thought:

<em>e.g. When I arrived, I thought I would have time to buy a snack; I didn't.</em>

- and many more

However, the main usage of a semicolon is joining independent clauses that "appear to be connected by a conjunctive adverb":

<em>e.g. She didn't study; </em><em>thus</em><em>, she failed the test.</em>

<em />

The answer is A.
