Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Mark Twain's observations in his writings made him an undisputed, and for many insurmountable, master of the art of irony.

With a popular and humorous style, Mark Twain contrasts in his works the idealized world of childhood, innocent and at the same time rogue, with a disenchanted conception of the adult man. In his later works, however, the sense of humor gives way to pessimism and bitterness expressed with irony and sarcasm.

Explanation:

Some examples of his ironic style are the following:

"It is stated that German wine is distinguished from vinegar solely by label."

"The new fashion philosophers declare that it is urgent to buy land because it is no longer being manufactured and it is very necessary."

"The new thinkers pose the great need of women for humans because without them there would be very few inhabitants of the earth."

"I, Mark Twain, assure you that if you ban me from smoking in heaven I will retire from there."

 

"I think if you could cross the human with the cat, it would improve while the human would decay."

"Building walls around a cemetery is a useless expense because those who are inside do not want to leave and those who are outside do not want to enter."

 

"When I die, I will choose paradise for the weather and hell for good company."

Toothpaste is to tube as milk is to _____________________.

Answers

Answer:

The most logical answer is carton.

Explanation:

In this question, we are working with analogies. An analogy establishes a relationship between two different things. The purpose is to compare those things by finding something that connects them, despite the differences. In this case, we have the relationship between content and container. Toothpaste is the content we find inside the tube. Tube is, thus, the container for the toothpaste. We can safely assume that, following that analogy, milk is the content. The most common container nowadays for milk is a carton. Therefore, toothpaste is to tube as milk is to carton.

Umm container? Or a bottle? Or packet?
