Part 3: Claim and Evidence

English
1 answer:
Nata [24]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation: .  Almost at the start of the story, in the second paragraph, Richards "hastened" (12) to bring his sad news.  But if Richards had arrived "too late" at the start, Brently Mallard would have arrived at home first, and Mrs. Mallard's life would not have ended an hour later but would simply have  gone on as it had been.  Yet another irony at the end of the story is the diagnosis of the doctors.  They say she died of "heart disease--of joy that kills" (11).  In one sense they are right: Mrs. Mallard has for the last hour experienced a great joy.  But of course the doctors totally misunderstand the joy that kills her.  It is not joy at seeing  her husband alive, but her realization that the great joy she experienced during the last hour is over.

           All of these ironic details add richness to the story, but the central irony resides not in the well-intentioned but ironic actions of Richards, or in the unconsciously ironic words of the doctors, but in Mrs. Mallard's own life.  She "sometimes" (13) loved her husband, but in a way she has been dead, a body subjected to her husband's will.  Now his apparent death brings her new life.  Appropriately this new life comes to her at the season of the year when "the tops of trees [...] were all aquiver with the new spring life" (12). But ironically, her new life will last only an hour.  She is "Free, free, free" (12), but only until her husband walks through the doorway.  She looks forward to "summer days" (13), but she will not see even the end of this spring day.  If her years of marriage were ironic, bringing her a sort of living death instead of joy, her new life is ironic too, not only because it grows out of her moment of grief for her supposedly dead husband, but also because her vision of "a long procession of years" (12) is cut short within an hour on a spring day.

2. Which answer choice is a word built from the base word satisfy by
raketka [301]

Answer:

The answer choice is:

c. dissatisfaction

Explanation:

Let's take a look at each option and use elimination to find the correct one.

a. satisfaction --> consists of the base word satisfy and the suffix -tion. Since there is no prefix, this is INCORRECT.

b. dissatisfy --> consists of the prefix dis- and the base word satisfy. Since there is no suffix, this is also INCORRECT.

c. dissatisfaction --> CORRECT option. It is formed by the prefix dis-, the base word satisfy, and the suffix -tion.

d. satisfactorily --> consists of the base word satisfy and two suffixes, - ory and -ly. This is not what we are looking for, so it is INCORRECT.

<u>A prefix is a letter or group of letters which are placed at the beginning of a word. A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the ending of a word. Both are used to transform that word into a new one by altering its meaning.</u>
