Using pairs of opposites, such as Helena and Hermia, is called A. doubling.
B. foreshadowing.
C. irony.
D. realism.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A. doubling

In literature, doubling creates contrast by juxtaposing two opposite character, similar to the idea of "two sides of the same coin". Therefore choice A is the correct answer. Two characters on their own do not necessarily show realism or irony and it is the plot and dialogue that would display foreshadowing. So choice B, C and D are incorrect.

What topic is Ivan Ilyich thinking about in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? But suddenly in the midst of those proceedings the pain in his side, regardless of the stage the proceedings had reached, would begin its own gnawing work. Ivan Ilyich would turn his attention to it and try to drive the thought of it away, but without success. It would come and stand before him and look at him, and he would be petrified and the light would die out of his eyes, and he would again begin asking himself whether It alone was true.\A.The pain in his appendix
B.His approaching death
C.His past life
D.his profession

Answers

Well, with the lines "and he would again begin asking himself whether it alone was true," you get the idea that he may be talking about his approaching death. It seems that way to me, anyway. B would be the best answer. If you think about, would you focus more on the pain in your appendix or your approaching death? Which is more likely to resonate and have a life-long effect? 

Which sentence contains an abstract noun? A. Jenny brews coffee every morning before work. B. What do you think about the new tax law? C. It takes diligence and hard work to succeed in life. D. I'm tired of all this rain

Answers

Answer:

C. It takes diligence and hard work to succeed in life.

Explanation:

Abstract nouns are nouns that name things that are not concrete, that is to say, things that we can not detect with either of our five senses (smell, taste, sight, hearing, and touch). Examples of this type of nouns are ideas, theories, feelings, emotions, conditions, events, like death, birthdays, marriage, qualities and intangible concepts like "diligence" which refers to a careful and persistent work or effort and "hard work" because they are things we can not interact with or detect with our five senses).
The answer is C! An abstract noun is something the five senses cannot detect, and "diligence" is not something you can see, touch, taste, smell, or hear. Hope this helped!
