Read the passage. I stared at the chaos surrounding Allen, astounded that one small child could inflict such damage in so little time: eggs were broken on
table and floor, their shells crunching underfoot as Allen tracked them back and forth, leaping about and merrily singing a tune learned at
nursery school. Just ten minutes earlier, the basket of eggs, fresh from Aunt Ella's hens, were perched innocently on the kitchen table: now
they were the equivalent of my little brother's box of crayons.
"Well," said Aunt Ella, clearing her throat as she studied the scene, "Allen appears to have artistic tendencies. Let's record his work for
posterity." And she raised her cell phone to photograph the dramatic smears of yellow, punctuated by bits of crushed shell and the small
impressions of toddler-sized shoes.
How is the phrase artistic tendencies used in the passage?
01. to emphasize the idea that Allen has a natural inclination to create chaos
O 2. to indicate Aunt Ella's mild-mannered reaction to the scene in the kitchen
3. to suggest the narrator's dismay at both the mess and Aunt Ella's reaction to it
04. to show both Allen's careful and deliberate design and his use of unique materials

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.

Hich line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, (there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling), adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as (they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather,) and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that( i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country,) by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich.( i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. reset next)
