Explanation:

An Example or Illustration is the literary device that always assists the author to explain or clarify an idea more effectively to the audience. In the given paragraph, the author illustrates the idea of conflict between the individual and groups through the example of a family dinner vote and comparing it to a public protest as both of them focuses on the clash between individual and group rights and how collective rights are preferred on the cost of individual rights. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Comparison is the type of text connection that has been used in the given paragraph as the USS Alabama is considered as being as huge as a monster through which the readers are able to develop a connection between Alabama and monster which helps them understand the idea(size of Alabama and its impact) more effectively. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

The next two paragraphs ask the same question about the statement that best describes the given same paragraph twice. Comparisons always aid the author in elaborating and clarifying his idea efficiently to the readers and comprehend their understanding. In the given paragraph, the author employs 'distinct categories of comparison' to 'reach the conclusion whether individual or group rights are important. He compares the conflicts between the rights of individuals and groups and this comparison he makes through by comparing the conflict occurred at the family dinner vote to the public protest. Both these comparisons help in elaborating how 'group rights' are always preferred over individual rights due to the majority. Thus, options A and B are the correct answers.

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. Based on the context clues, the underlined word, ardent, most likely means? gloomy calm passionate innocent

Read the quotation from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." And now he became conscious of a new disturbance. Striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. He wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. Its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. He awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. The intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. With their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. They hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. What he heard was the ticking of his watch. Which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? It suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. It suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. It suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues.
