Answer: Peter appeared to be a really hard working person that had a high paying job. He lived in a penthouse with the best view in the city because of his job. He had a job at Microsoft as an engineer. The CEO was really proud of him and the great job he was doing, so he gave him a assignment to make the latest computer. What the CEO didn't know is that Peter didn't really do any of the work that he claimed to. Peter would go to and pay this black market computer genius to make these designs and models. His name was Lucifer, the man from the black market. Lucifer wanted to get more pay and was tired of getting no credit from Peter. Peter emailed Lucifer about this new computer model and he email back to meet him at the Ally way 666. Peter, who was very unsuspecting, decided to go along with the plan. Peter, foolishly, decided that it would be a good idea to try to under pay Lucifer. This was a huge mistake. Upon seeing that Peter did not bring all the money as promised, Lucifer said ¨ This is the last straw, you give me no credit, ignore me when I need you, and now you are trying to underpay me! I am going to make your life very difficult.¨ Peter pleads with him but it was to no avail, Lucifer turns around and storms away. Lucifer emails the CEO, telling him how Peter does none of his work for himself, and the CEO is flabbergasted! How could his most trusted employ do that to his company? He had given him a job when Peter needed one, had become friends with him, and he turns out to be a shifty lowlife bottom feeder who only knows how to take others answers. He fires Peter, takes Peter to Court on accounts of plagiarism and wins. Peter is now buckled down with fines, rent fees, paying for grocery, electricity, and so much more. Peter has to go to get a job. But one job will not be enough to pay for everything. He couldn't afford the penthouse anymore and had to move to a ramshackle apartment in the slums. He had to try to get one job when he really needed ten to pay for everything. He tried and failed numerous times, when finally he got a very, very, low paying job with awful working conditions. He got two other jobs as well, also with horrible working conditions. Even with three jobs, he had barely made a dent on all the money he had to pay. He went on living like this for years and years, in a constant state of exhaustion, mental anguish, and hunger. He was working and working until the day he died. Lucifer came to his funeral and smiled as he said ¨ The devil makes work for idle hands.¨

Which literary technique is used in the excerpt from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Flashback

Explanation:

Novel Frankenstein is written in flashback method. The story in Frankenstein's dialogs and almost the whole novel is told in flashback. This way of telling a story is good because we have the impression that there are no mediums between the characters, it makes it a first hand story.

Flashback is a method that represents the disconnection of chronological order. When the story is told in flashback one continuous action is interrupted by the events that happened in the past. This way the writer gives us the background of the story and at the same time he continues with the story.

Which word from list 1 best completes this analogy laboratory:campus

ioda

The correct answer is C. Faculty

Explanation:

An analogy is a correspondence or comparison between one element or set of elements and another which in most cases aimed at showing the similarities between the elements that compose the analogy. This means an analogy occurs when two elements relate in the same way or the characteristics of an element are transferred to another. In the case of the example presented in the question "laboratory:campus" it suggests the laboratory belongs to the campus, is part of the campus or can be found in the campus, which means the second analogy should accomplish the same feature of belonging, being part or being found to create a correspondence or similarity between both elements. Because of this the best option that completes the analogy is "professor: faculty" as in the same way of "laboratory: campus" the professor somehow belongs to the campus, can be found there or is part of the campus in terms of staff, this means in this way both elements "professor: faculty" and "laboratory: campus" express the same relationship and therefore there is a correspondence or analogy.
