Which Comment Is About The Diction Of A Story?

Answers

Answer 1
i would say A. diction is concerned with the word choice within a work, and A is the only answer that focuses on that. B and C discuss places within the story, like the conflict and the climax, and plot structure and diction aren't exactly directly related. D discusses character development, which doesn't relate as closely to diction as choice A.

How do the thieves respond when Jonathan`s family begins to yell?

Answers

The short story “Civil Peace” has been written by Chinua Achebe. The thieves in the story are very bold and arrogant. But when Jonathan's family began to yell, the thieves responded to them by helping them. The thieves threatened them and mocked at them. They mocked them by crying out as the way Jonathan's family was crying out. The story is set in Eastern Nigeria right after the end of the Civil War.

Answer:

By imitating the cry for help of Jonathan's family as a way of mocking them.

Explanation:

Chinua Achebe's short story "Civil Peace" is mainly around the Nigerian Civil War and its effects on the people. The 'civil peace' that ensued this war was something that Achebe wants to greatly stress on in this story.

Jonathan Ewegbu was the protagonist of the story. He had been doing some small business and getting a good sum of money inflow. One night, robbers came to his house demanding he give them 100 pounds. It was this night of robbery that the question is asking about. When the family began yelling and shouting for help, the robbers began imitating them, shouting like they did. They mocked them in attempting to attract some sort of help.

Please read the following sentence to answer the question.

Sonya, my Mother, owns a bakery, and she makes the best brownies in town.

Is the word mother capitalized correctly in the sentence?
A. No, because it is a parenthetical element.
B. No, because a possessive pronoun comes before the word.
C. Yes, since Sonya is the owner of the bakery.
D. Yes, since Sonya must be capitalized, so should mother.

Answers

The correct answer is B. No, because a possessive pronoun comes before the word.
If there was no pronoun (if the sentence said, for example, I believe Mother is the most beautiful woman in the world, then it would be capitalized, but since there is the pronoun my before Mother, then it doesn't have to be capitalized).
A is not correct since this is not a parenthetical element - parenthetical is something placed in parentheses, and there are no parentheses here. C and D are silly options.

The love and excitement that existed before are gone, and the speaker is quite frank about it - she doesn't try to hide it at all.

How does Dionysius’s desire for total control and power affect the story’s plot in “Damon and Pythias”? Use evidence from the text to support your response.
Here is the story:
Damon and Pythias
There once lived two men, called Damon and Pythias. They were both lovers of truth and integrity and in all the city of Syracuse they could find no one who upheld these principles so well as each other.
Dionysius was at that time the ruler of Syracuse; he wielded complete authority and very often abused his power, for he was hot-tempered and imperious and anyone who angered him was put to death.
One day he was informed that a young man named Pythias had been heard complaining against the cruelty of Dionysius; no one was allowed to criticize the ruler, and Dionysius condemned the youth to die.
When Pythias learnt of his fate, he begged to be allowed to return home to set his affairs in order.
“How far away is your home?” enquired Dionysius suspiciously, “and how may I be certain you will return?”
“My home is many miles distant,” replies Pythias, “but I have a friend, Damon, who is willing to take my place while I am away.”
There was a stir amongst the bystanders and a man stepped to Pythias’s side.
“I am Damon, my lord,” he said. “I will give myself up as a pledge of my friend’s return, and if any accident befalls him I will die in his stead.”
The tyrant was amazed by this generosity, and gave Pythias leave to depart, fixing on the day and hour of his return, and warning that he would not fail to exercise justice on his friend, if he did not arrive back in time.
The days passed and the morning dawned on which Pythias was to have been executed—still, Pythias did not appear, and the people of Syracuse said that Damon would surely be killed.
Everyone was agreed in condemning his behavior as rash and foolhardy; but Damon himself was the happiest man in the prison.
He was filled with hope that his friend would not return in time, and he was led out to execution with a cheerful face. Dionysius had come to see him meet his death, and called out to him in mocking words.
“So, Damon, where is your friend, of whom you were so confident? I fear you have allowed him to take advantage of your simplicity.”
“It is impossible for me to doubt my friend’s constancy,” replied Damon. “Perhaps he has met with some accident along the way.”
At that moment a horse broke through the crowd, and Pythias, travel-stained and weary, half fell out of his saddle, and ran to embrace his friend.
“I am come—in time,” he gasped. “My horse—was killed, and I could not find another. Thank heaven I am in time to save you!”
But Damon did not want Pythias to die. He pleaded with him to allow the execution to continue, and Dionysius watched in disbelief as each friend eagerly sought to give up his life for the other.
“Cease, cease these debates,” he exclaimed, stepping forward and taking their hands. “I hereby set both of you free. Never in my life have I seen such loyalty; nor did I dream such a thing could exist. I beg you will accept my pardon and allow me to share in your friendship.”

Answers

The desire for total control and power that Dionysius has is what gives rise to the plot. Because of this desire, Dionysius is a tyrant who often abuses his power. Moreover, he does not let anyone criticize him and he is hot-tempered and imperious. This attitude is what leads him to condemn Pythias to death for complaining against him. It is also what leads Damon to be willing to give his life for his friend.

Explanation:

In the story 'Soldier's Home,' Krebs's deception causes him to 'lose' his war experience because he fabricates stories about his time in the war to conform to societal expectations.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony’s “On Women’s Right to Vote” reveals the purpose of the speech? Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny. The preamble of the Federal Constitution says: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.

The preamble of the Federal Constitution says:

"We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

For any state to make sex a qualification that must ever result in the disfranchisement of one entire half of the people, is to pass a bill of attainder, or, an ex post facto law, and is therefore a violation of the supreme law of the land. By it the blessings of liberty are forever withheld from women and their female posterity.

To them this government has no just powers derived from the consent of the governed. To them this government is not a democracy. It is not a republic. It is an odious aristocracy; a hateful oligarchy of sex; the most hateful aristocracy ever established on the face of the globe; an oligarchy of wealth, where the rich govern the poor. An oligarchy of learning, where the educated govern the ignorant, or even an oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex, which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters, of every household - which ordains all men sovereigns, all women subjects, carries dissension, discord, and rebellion into every home of the nation.

Webster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define a citizen to be a person in the United States, entitled to vote and hold office.

The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void, precisely as is every one 

The inference is that the sentence in this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's "On Women's Right to Vote" that reveals the purpose of the speech is that "It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting".

What is an inference?

An inference is the conclusion deduced from the information. After being tried and fined for casting an "illegal" vote in the presidential elections of 1872, Susan B. Anthony gave this speech to prove that, according to the preamble of the Federal Constitution women had the same right to vote as men.

She explained that the Constitution says "we, the people" which includes not only America's man, but also its women. Therefore, her casting a ballot was not only not illegal, but it was a right that no state should have the power to deny.
