The detail from "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway that is an example of understatement is:  C. "The doctor went to his office in a back room and brought a photograph which showed a hand that had been withered almost as small as the major’s, before it had taken a machine course, and after was a little larger."

<h3>What is an Understatement?</h3>

An understatement is a speech that has little import compared to the real meaning. This means that the author does not fully convey the gravity of the words.

In sentence C, the content of the picture was hard to bear but this was not fully highlighted by the speaker's choice of words.

An Analysis on ""Are Too Many People Going to College"" Charles Murray’s essay proposes that American colleges are being flooded
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

I think he´s (partly) right

Explanation:

Partly right because yes, colleges are flooded with individuals who seem to be out of place and not learning anything that they could have learned outside the school building. Murray´s essay follows quite clearly the opinion of Noam Chomsky.  The strategical creation of a separated American class system is a daring theory that needs some (personal) coments because of its elitist element, i.e. we who study have (keep) the power.  

Two examples:

México is a democracy in name where the powerful and rich people send their kids - no matter how stupid they are - to college schools and private universities that only exist as the entry door to a well-paid job. And even if you don´t go to university you can always buy your degree, as former president Fox did.

Germany is a real democracy that has a social education system. It is costly but the economic support (bafug in German) for students is based on how much your parents earn. If your parents are poor you get more money per month to study and vice versa.

Now kindly look at the American educational system and see if it resembles more the Mexican or the German system.

“Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, / “Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is it’s only stock and store,
Talja [164]

Answer:

St

Explanation:

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter (or sound) at the beginning of closely connected words. Of the 22 words in this sentence, 4 of them start with "st," as to "br," which is only 1 word, "sp," which is only 1 word, and "ut," which is also only 1 word. Hope this helped!

The edited biography of Alexander Fleming is given below. First see the definition of Standard English Conventions.

<h3>What is  Standard English Conventions?</h3>

Standard English Conventions questions focus on some of the most fundamental aspects of writing, such as sentence form, use, and punctuation.

"Conventions" is merely another word for normal procedures and expectations that we adhere to in many aspects of our life.

<h3>What is the revised edition?</h3>

The revised edition is as given below:

It is extremely uncommon to come across someone who alters how others perceive the world. One such person was Alexander Fleming. Before 1928, when Fleming's smart and creative mind developed it, penicillin, a treatment for numerous infections, did not exist.

As a young man, Fleming was very interested in the study of medicine. Under the direction of bacteriologist Almroth Wright, he started his research career in 1906 at St. Mary's Hospital in London, England. During World War I, Fleming dealt with injured troops while serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He discovered that the liquid antiseptics used to treat wounds had a significant negative impact on a person's capacity to combat bacterial infections. He therefore thought that wounds should be kept clean and dry rather than being treated with antiseptics. His suggestions were mainly ignored, though.

Fleming came back to St. Mary's in 1918 and was appointed the department's assistant director. He made an astonishing finding regarding the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, which can result in serious human infections, ten years later, in September 1928. Fleming discovered an unfamiliar mold had grown around the bacteria after leaving it unattended in a petri dish. He was startled to learn through studying the mold that it was a form of antibiotic—a compound that can either kill or stop the growth of germs. Penicillin was given a name by him, and word of its therapeutic efficacy in treating bacterial infections quickly spread. After that, he was successful in stabilizing and purifying penicillin for use by the general population with the aid of scientists from the University of Oxford, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain.

Penicillin's discovery changed medicine and made Alexander Fleming a hero. He was chosen as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1943, and a year later, he was knighted. For the discovery of penicillin and their contributions to medicine, Fleming, Chain, and Florey were given the Nobel Prize in 1945.Later in life, Sir Alexander Fleming published numerous publications in international medical and scientific journals on topics like immunology, chemotherapy, and bacteriology. Fleming passed away in London in 1955, but his legacy is still honored today.
