Answer:

In the first paragraph, the author includes an allusion to the Guinness Book of Records and Paul McCartney, who was in the famous band the Beatles. The author refers to these familiar aspects of pop culture to make a connection with readers and express the value of rhodium. In the third paragraph, he continues drawing readers in with historical allusions to French royalty and the Washington Monument. These references also help to emphasize the past uses and value of aluminum. In addition, the author uses irony when he describes how the special guests were given aluminum forks and knives, while the less-favored guests were given gold. This situation seems like the opposite of what you would expect to happen today. This use of situational irony uses humor to inform readers about the historical uses of aluminum in an entertaining way. Together, these literary devices help the author achieve his purpose, which is to get readers interested in a topic they might not normally find that interesting.

Identify the most striking words that Jefferson chooses to describe the kings actions? How does this language support his claim?
maw [93]

One of the rhetorical techniques that Jefferson uses in the Declaration of Independence is repetition. This is used to great effect in the body of the document, as he is listing the grievances that the colonists hold against the King. After starting the declaration with a logical account of the colonists’ need to establish independence, Jefferson then delineates all of the reasons that King George has given them to revolt. He gives 27different transgressions that King George has committed, all beginning with the words “He has” or “For.” The first one, for example, is

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

The effect of repetition in this section of the document is to emphasize how unfairly the British have treated the colonies. Putting all the grievances together in this fashion, with the repeated introductory word(s) gives the impression that the list just goes “on and on.”

Leokris [45]

The effect today's readers have on reading science fiction stories is, they are less likely to believe the stories could be true.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

This is an era of technology and advancement. If we talk about the readers of previous era, they couldn’t really differentiate between the real ones and the unreal ones while reading stories.

We’ve sources to get to known about the genuineness of particular books and stories. So today when readers read science fiction stories they’re less likely to believe it because fiction stories in itself are not true.
