Answer 2

Read the excerpt from Guy de Maupassant's "The Necklace":

Loisel had eighteen thousand francs he had inherited from his father. He would borrow the rest.

He went about raising the money, asking a thousand francs from one, four hundred from another, a hundred here, sixty there. He signed notes, made ruinous deals, did business with loan sharks, ran the whole gamut of moneylenders. He compromised the rest of his life, risked his signature without knowing if he'd be able to honor it, and then, terrified by the outlook for the future, by the blackness of despair about to close around him, by the prospect of all the privations of the body and tortures of the spirit, he went to claim the new necklace with the thirty-six thousand francs which he placed on the counter of the shopkeeper.

What literary device is used in this passage to reveal M. Loisel's honorable nature?

A: dramatic irony; M. Loisel is only willing to risk so much for his wife because he doesn't realize that she is conniving and manipulative.

B: juxtapositioning; while M. Loisel's sacrifices are pointed out, there is no mention of the sacrifices made on the part of Mme. Loisel, which makes his nature seem all the more honorable

C: situational irony; because M. Loisel is so indulgent of his wife's vanity, the reader does not expect him to be realistic about his debt obligations, which shows that he is honorable

D: indirect characterization; through M. Loisel's actions of borrowing the money and his personal thoughts and feelings, the reader learns that M. Loisel holds himself to a high code of financial responsibility.

Answer 5

Read the passage from Mark Twain's "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County":

In compliance with the request of a friend of mine, who wrote me from the East, I called on good-natured, garrulous old Simon Wheeler, and inquired after my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley, as requested to do, and I hereunto append the result. I have a lurking suspicion that Leonidas W. Smiley is a myth; that my friend never knew such a personage; and that he only conjectured that, if I asked old Wheeler about him, it would remind him of his infamous Jim Smiley, and he would go to work and bore me nearly to death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and as tedious as it should be useless to me. If that was the design, it succeeded.

Which life experience best relates to this passage?

A: You go to a friend's house and are introduced to his elderly uncle. You begin to talk to the uncle, and he quickly takes over the conversation, talking so much that it's nearly impossible to excuse yourself from the conversation. After a while your friend comes back and rescues you, sincerely apologizing for his uncle's talkative nature.

B: You are out shopping with your brother when he tells you about the great salesmen who sold him his new television a few weeks ago. Your brother suggests that you see the salesmen alone while he runs a few other errands. You agree and quickly find yourself roped into a never-ending conversation with the overly-eager sales clerk. After a half hour, you see your brother across the store, having a good laugh at your expense.

C: You go to visit an elderly relative to find out about their memories of a particular incident. However, instead of talking about the incident, your relative goes off on a tangent about their childhood hero, relating multiple stories of this person's achievements to you until you are bored out of your mind

D: You send a friend to the historical society of your hometown to find out some information for you. Unfortunately, your friend gets drawn into a long and pointless discussion with the lonely elderly man who works there. Several days later, when you call your friend to get the information, he admits that he was unable to learn anything of relevance in the encounter.

I guess C, because the person reading it (narrator) is telling a tale about about how Jim and the stranger bet on each other's frog to see who can jump the highest ($40), the stranger then shot quail shots at Jim's frog. He basically cheated by taking his money and using quail shots.

C:"Her parents wrote up the list and handed it to her and off she went without complaint to perform what they regarded as a great sacrifice of her time and a sign that she was indeed a very nice girl.
