Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Your answer would be that "that girl is so strong, I think she might be from the planet Krypton" is the example in which the author uses an allusion.

Explanation:

Allusion is a literary device by which an author makes a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, idea. It does not describe the refence in detail because the author expects the reader to have the necessary background information ir order to spot the allusion and grasp its importance in the text.

In the paragraph above, "planet Kryton" is a reference to a fictional planet appearing in American comic books by Dc comics. The planet is the native world of Superman and is named after the element Krypton. As Superman home planet, people given birth there are expected to be as strong as said fictional character. That's why the author compares the girl's strength to someone from Krypton.

What two concepts does H. G.

No doubt it will seem grotesque enough to you—and wildly incredible!—and yet even now there are existing circumstances to point that way. There is a tendency to utilize underground space for the less ornamental purposes of civilization; there is the Metropolitan Railway in London, for instance, there are new electric railways, there are subways, there are underground workrooms and restaurants, and they increase and multiply.

Jem and Scout know that Atticus is serious about the above statement because _____.
-that was the only time they heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something

-Atticus wasn't interested in guns

-Atticus preferred them to shoot tin cans rather than birds

-Atticus wouldn't teach them to shoot

Answers

The correct answer is option A. Jem and Scout know that Atticus is serious about the above statement because that was the only time they heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something. Atticus is very honest about what Jem and Scout can and cannot shoot at.

I believe the answer is A, "that was the only time they heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something" because, by process of elimination, he specifically was a good shot, and didn't tell his kids to shoot anything in particular.  Therefore the only logical conclusion in my eyes is A.  Have a nice day! :)
