Answer: Without placing too implicit faith in the account above given, it must be agreed, that if a worthy pretext for so dangerous an experiment as setting houses on fire (especially in these days) could be assigned in favor of any culinary object, that pretext and excuse might be found in roast pig.

This is the sentence that encourages the reader to take a position on the text. The passage describes how people used to burn whole houses in order to cook pigs, until they discovered that pigs did not need that much fire in order to be cooked. By the end of the passage, the author argues that pig is a food worthy enough of causing a house to be burnt down. The way in which we know that the author is trying to persuade us is by the use of the phrase <em>"it must be agreed.</em>"

Which of the following best describes Malachy, Sr.?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

E. Drunken.

Explanation:

Frank McCourt's 1996 memoir "Angela's Ashes," tells the story of his own childhood, involving his father Malachy, Sr. and his mother Angela. The memoir covers the life of Frank and his family’s condition during his childhood, the stories from that time, and more majorly his own life in Limerick, Ireland.

There are many terms by which Malachy, Sr. can be described. But as the memoir presents, it is best to describe him as a drunkard. He is not pious, nor litigious or inviolate. He is somewhat of a poltroon, which is another term for a coward. But Malachy, Sr. isn't exactly a coward for even though he did not seem to do things in the right way, he still gets them done in as much as he can manage. He married Angela after being pressured and because of their Catholic faith. Moreover, he also instills the fondness of storytelling in his child and we also come to know that his drinking is a way to hide his bereavement and misfortune.

Thus, the <u>correct description for Malachy, Sr. is option E</u>.

Which option corrects the double negative, yet has the same meaning as the following sentence? Since there is so much food here,
soldi70 [24.7K]
A. Since there is so much food here we can find something to eat.

All of the other sentences do NOT make sense when you read them in deeper context. A double negative is incorrect grammar! Double negatives are things like "not never" or "can't cannot." The meaning of this sentence is saying that there is lots of food so it will be easy to find something to eat. The only answer that reflects that meaning is A.

Hope this helps! If someone else answers I would love brainliest:)

. What helps the reader most to infer a writer’s theme?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

You read to find out the central idea the character or you learns

Explanation:

As you know theme is "broad idea or a message that is to be conveyed through a literary work." I think what would best work is you reading the book a couple of times and seeing what the central idea the character or you learned.

I hope this helped. I am sorry if you get this wrong.
