2 wholes and 1 piece because 8 + 8 = 16 and that leaves 1 left over
Explanation:
The poem ''Ego tripping'' is written by Nikki Giovanni and it is describing pride of a women who is in that way showing her power and equality to the world.
We can see that she was using hyperbole as literary device almost through the whole poem and this literary device is affecting the whole poem also.
- Readers can feel her pride and power through the hyperbole because she is describing that, for example, she walked ''to the fertile crescent and built the sphinx'', ''I sat on the throne'' and more.
- She is also with it showing the people that her culture means a lot to her and how is she seeing it.
The correct answer is Vera's tendency for making up outlandish stories.
From the story<em> "The Open Window"</em> by H.H Munro (Saki), it is evident that Vera tells Framton a story about her aunt, but to the reader, the means of this is nothing more than to inform their visitor about the family's past - as if to warn Framton on his involvement with his visit -. It is only when a terrified Framton bolts away from the house and the rest of the family members are presented safe and sound, that the reader realises Vera's story was only a playful trick, creating surprise - this information however, is not explicitly explained to the reader.
As for the rest of the options, unlike the correct answer, they are all information explicitly presented in the story:
- The presumed Mrs. Stapleton's insanity at the beggining of Vera's tale.
- Framton explains his illness after Mrs. Stapleton arrives to the scene apologizing.
- Framton's fear of dogs is explained by Mr. Stapleton at the last paragraph, just after his arrival.
