Mga pahayag kasama ang literary device na ginamit sa bawat isa ay nasa ibaba:

“The Army Alpha is cleverly designed"

-- Ito ay halimbawa ng understatement. Sa paglarawan sa Army Alpha bilang ‘‘cleverly designed,’’ minamaliit ng tagapagsalita ang lawak ng pagsusulit. Sinabi na ipapakita nito sa Army ang lahat tungkol sa iyo, kaya't minamaliit ang pagsasabi na ito ay ‘‘cleverly designed.’’


“I guess that the letter was the last straw”

-- Ito ay halimbawa ng idiom. Ang idiom ay isang uri ng pananalita na ang kahulugan ay hindi tumutugma sa mga salitang ginagamit. Ang pariralang ‘‘the last straw’’ ay walang kinalaman sa mga dayami: ito ay kasabihan upang ipakita na naubos na ang pasensya o iba pa. Kaya't ito ay isang idiom.


“I took the opportunity to vomit out a Niagara of vitriol”

-- Ito ay halimbawa ng hyperbole. Ang hyperbole ay matinding pag-exaggerate. Sapagkat imposible na literal na magbinga ng isang rumaragasang tubig, ito ay labis na pinalaki.


“Army Intelligence called me up in about a week, wanting to chat”

-- Ito ay halimbawa ng irony. Hindi talaga tatawag ang Army Intelligence para makipag-usap ng basta-basta. Sadyang sarkastiko o ironic ang tagapagsalita. Ang Army Intelligence ay magtatanong ng seryoso sa presensya ng abogado. Hindi ito isang “chat.”

Flura [7041]

Answer:

Goines's narrative essay holds significance for contemporary readers due to its anti-war (pacifist) theme, which, although rooted in the Vietnam era, conveys a timeless humanitarian message.

Explanation:

While it's true that today's young audience may not find the specifics of the Vietnam war particularly captivating, they can certainly connect with themes of civil disobedience and social injustices, along with Goines's use of humor and irony to depict his pushback against political authority. For instance, Goines's clever description of navigating the bureaucratic maze to postpone his draft could resonate with today's youth who identify as rebels. In the current context void of drafts, younger individuals might struggle to grasp the political complexities of the 1960s and 1970s. However, the need to resist wars, especially when the burden of such decisions impacts the youth, remains significant. This chapter is pertinent because it allows younger generations to reflect on and possibly redefine what patriotism means: is true patriotism exemplified by serving in a war or by opposing misguided national policies?

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
Lady bird [7499]

Answer: It implies that the inclusion of sugar marked a notable change in the diets of Europeans.

Explanation: The first option does not align with the text since the idea of dessert being a sweet final course had not yet emerged. The second option is not supported by the text and does not address change or transformation. The third option, while hinting at a proposed transformation, incorrectly references the quality of chefs, which is not mentioned in the text. Only the final option is consistently supported throughout the text, especially in the last three sentences.
