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.

Read these sentences from "Gumption."

matrenka [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

The effect of Clara's orders to Sylvester and Jack in the excerpt is D: The men are tired of hearing Clara's complaints but remain by the fire to stay warm.

<u>Explanation</u>:

“Gumption” by “Langston Hughes” is a story about Sylvester and Clara who had insecurity and disbelief. “Gumption” means ability to decide what is the best action to be taken in a given situation.

Clara feels that Sylvester should try to follow Oyster and work towards equality. But Sylvester thinks that he couldn’t protest as he was already very poor and would be risking his home in case he protests. According to him Oyster’s actions are excessive. He thinks “one cannot live on gumption” i.e: being full of courage and guts all the time with common sense.

Here, by this excerpt, both are tired after hearing her complaints about their actions which wants them to leave that place. But they couldn't because it was so cold outside and they need to stay warm to survive.
