<span>In his book Walden, a reflection on the act of living as simply as possible, Thoreau spoke at length on the impact of technology on our daily lives and humanity as a whole. He believed that technology was leading to a degradation of our relations with one another and with the natural world. He cited the construction of a telegraph line from Maine to Texas, saying,"We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph line from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate." We can see them same in our modern day quest for the "next big thing"; snapping up the latest iPhone for hundreds of dollars, posting ever more on social media, with many having nothing important to contribute to a wider world despite access to that world at an unprecedented level. As a society, we have at our fingertips the lessons and work of all the world's great thinkers and scholars, and yet a great number of people use the potential at hand to watch funny cat videos. I believe that this is a sign of the degradation that Thoreau spoke of made manifest.</span>
I'd choose "revise the structure of your essay by making the progression more logical."
Out of all the given answers that one makes most sense
The correct answer is "In this selection, the use of the word <em>inundation</em> is probably exaggerated."
In this situation, inundation is not a real inundation/flood, therefore it is not literal. It is a word used to exaggerate the fact that the housewives are constantly cleaning the house, sweeping and mopping. You can see that too in the excerpt <em>"under the discipline of mops and brooms". </em>We know the author is referring to the cleaning process and therefore, chooses to use the word <em>inundation</em> to create more depth to what he's describing.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of a group of words.
Poets use alliteration to help create mood, rhythm or emphasis. It can also help with memorization. It's important to realize that it's all about sound, not spelling. For example, the letter c can have a hard or soft sound as in cereal and cat. These two words next to each other would not be considered alliteration because they are not the same sound. Examples of alliteration are:
My many monkeys met at the museum.
All the aardvarks already arrived.
