Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to, which makes it impossible to answer. However I can help you by showing the concept of anecdote and the possible reasons why it is used.

The anecdote is a short narrative that has a playful and amusing character and its main objective is to provoke comic relief in a narrative, or to satirize a situation and show concepts in a fun way.

Probably in the text to which the question refers, the anecdote serves to convey a comic relief in the text, in addition to showing a criticism, in a light and fun way to the complaining behavior of the husband.

B. illustrate the author's claim regarding the value of devoting oneself to one's children.

In her commencement speech at Wellesley College, First Lady Barbara Bush makes a point of highlighting the importance of spending time with our family. According to the First Lady, what matters most for the success of society is not what takes place in the White House, but what takes place in people's houses. We must hug, read, and talk to our kids.To illustrate the importance of that, the First Lady tells an anecdote - a short narrative of an amusing incident - about a husband. This husband refers to taking care of his own children as "babysitting". His wife quickly corrects him: if it's your own kids, it's not called babysitting.With that, the First Lady shows the value of devotingourselves to our children. Children are not a chore: they are a part of our lives. Parents should make a point of spending time with them and raising them well.

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here?
