passage from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect":
At ten minutes before H-hour the
general came in, shepherding the professor before him. The professor was comfortably attired In
sneakers, gray flannels, a blue sweater, and a white shirt open at the neck. The two of them sat side by slde on the love seat.
What Is the function of this description and how does It Influence the development
of the characters and the plot In the story?
O A.
The placement of the characters on the love seat and the professor's relaxed attire represents dramatic Irony and the
characters' uncertalnty about future events.
O B.
The descriptlon of the time as "H-Hour" and the general "shepherding" in the professor reveals the serlousness of the
impending situation.
O C.
The contradiction between the general's serlousness and the professor's Indifference show how Professor Barnhouse is a
static character in the story.
O D. The professor's casual attire and the characters sitting on a love seat just before the critical "H-hour" creates an Ironic contrast
and a playful mood.

Returning from vietnam, we were indeed given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. what is one way the author's use of language contributes to the tone of this passage? a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment. b. the phrase "hot, angry tangle" is used sarcastically to create irony. c. the word "parade" is used sarcastically to create a lighthearted mood. d. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those returning.

If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die. that strain again! it had a dying fall: o, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound, that breathes upon a bank of violets, stealing and giving odour! now read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." for i have known them all already, known them all: have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, i have measured out my life with coffee spoons; i know the voices dying with a dying fall beneath the music from a farther room. what does the phrase "dying fall" most likely mean in both excerpts
