English

Flauer [41]3 years ago

The answer to your question would be that the literary device that enables readers to have mulitiple interpreations of a word, phrase, or event is the following one: ambiguity. That is, the correct option would be C.

Ambiguity, also known as fallacy of ambiguity, is a word, phrase, or statement which contains more than meaning. These words or statements lead to confusion. For instance, "Yesterday I rode a horse with sunglasses" is ambigous because it can be taken as if the one with the sunglasses was the horse.

I believe the answer would be C because ambiguity occurs when something is open to more interpretations.

What are the possible consequences of being unable to predict an eruption? Do you know any “real life” examples from history? If
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

There are many eruptions that have happened and has affected the population extremely. La Soufriere volcano eruption that took place in 1902-2021 has affected many people that lived nearby. Many houses were destroyed and over 1600 lives were taken during the 1902 eruption. With modern science Volcano eruptions can be predictable and this has been very useful to notify people that they may be in danger in case of a volcano eruption but unfortunately not all volcano eruptions are always predictable because It is very difficult to gather enough data to find clear patterns in this wide range of volcanic behaviors. My predictions for unpredictable eruptions is that there would have been more people that died and this can also affect the earth's climate and weather because the gases and dust particles thrown into the atmosphere during volcanic eruptions can influence the Earth's climate.

Why does the author of passage 2 describe a student council meeting in the first paragraph? ​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

skimming the passage, we’ll find “some critics” mentioned in the third sentence. Indeed, this sentence actually continues to advance Bigsby’s view mentioned in the previous sentence (that Hansberry’s work has “unintentional” irony” that the author seems to reject (stating that we should accept her irony as “deliberate social commentaries”). This third sentence continues to elaborate and broaden the critical view to other critics. The next sentence contains the words “for example,” so that must be the one, right?! Nope. This is the trap; the question specifically mentioned “examples” ad does this fourth sentence of the paragraph, but the “examples” need to refute this view, and the example in the fourth sentence is an example of the critical view the author disagreed with.

Explanation:

An important thing to keep in mind about the Reading Comprehension section of the GRE as we use PowerPrep online to study is that it is just that—reading comprehension. In other words, as difficult as it may seem, and it can be pretty tricky, the test makers will always give us all the information we need in the passage to answer the question. Select-in-passage questions, like number 8 on the second Verbal section of practice test 1, may look different than other questions, but they abide by the same rule.

Select-in-passage questions are unique to the GRE, but that shouldn’t scare us. In fact, a good thing about them is that we can approach each one the same way: we need to read the question carefully in order to find out what criteria our sentence needs to meet. Then, we need to search the passage for a sentence that fits that criteria—ok, admittedly this is sometimes more easily said than done, but we should keep in mind that our question may even give us extra clues as to where to look.
