Read the selection below from the play king arthur’s socks by floyd dell and answer the question that follows. a young man enters. guenevere: lancelot! lancelot: guenevere! (they go up to each other, and he takes both her hands. they stand that way for a moment. then he says lightly)—darning king arthur’s socks, i see! guenevere: (releasing herself, and going back to her chair) yes. sit down. lancelot: where’s his royal highness? guenevere: new york. why don’t you ever come to see us? what is the author’s purpose in the above passage, and how does he achieve it through his organization and choice of details?

The author's purpose is to shed light on the relationship between Lancelot and Guenevere. He achieves his goal through careful selection of details which suggest the following:

1- Acquaintance between the two characters: they both ackowledge eachother's presence using first names

2-Excitement about being reunited: a simple greeting wasn't enough and so they "go up to eachother"

3-A degree of physical closeness:  this shows as they hold eachother's hand "and stay that way for a moment"

4- A conflict involving King Arthur: the passage suggests a degree of jealousy from Lancelot towards King Arthur and some guilt from Guenevere before Lancelot regarding King Arthur

5- An attempt at damage control: Guenevere gives a short answer to Lancelot and changes the topic which suggests she cares about his feelings

Through the dialogue, the author sets the mood for what comes accross as a platonic love between the two characters.

c. to understand which information will best persuade your readers. (apex) correct answer.

given the fact that the question is about the detail that best support the idea that oppressive leaders use   propaganda to achieve thir goals,   the first option does not refer to any kind of propaganda, since it only tells about that the milk and the windfall apple should be reserved for the pigs. in the second option, that is, "snowball and napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on the neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the rebellion, and teach them the tune of "beasts of england". it can be identified that the oppressors make use of the propaganda, which is represented by the pigeons, and the information they have to tell other animals about what was happening in the farm in order to get their objectives. for that reason, the right answer is the second option, taking into account that the third option do not refer to propaganda since it only talks about that they did not want jones back. and, finally, the last option refers to the result of the given news, but it does not mean about the propaganda they used to achieve their goals.
