Answer:
by removing the commentary that the professor is most likely involved in the gambling ring.
Explanation:
The given excerpt highlights more about Professor Shuman. His involvement in gambling has been more focused rather than on the activity and the ills of the event. In this way, the real issue of the gambling process gets blurred. In order to make the report more objective, the commentary focusing on the professor being involved in the gambling needs to be removed.
Answer:
C. Personification
Explanation:
I had it down to either personification or paradox but a paradox is ultimately true and something will not be able to bury itself so it is personification as in saying the past can bury giving it human characteristics.
Ok, it's not a metaphor because there's no actual comparison here.
That being said, what do you mean by quote or phrase? Are these the three options you have to choose from?
If so...this is probably a phrase. A quote is well...it's a sentence or sentences that someone else has said. A phrase is just an expression.
Final answer: Phrase
I hope that helps.
