Ranch’s usual streak of silliness shown in his earlier novels takes a back seat in sleeping upside-down. while the situations in the novel are very funny, the characters seem ordinary and sincere in their reactions. during rainstorms, for instance, the shift key on kate’s keyboard becomes stuck. her initial attempts to e-mail a cute boy in her class seem even more uncomfortable with the added emphasis: “would you get ice cream with me tomorrow? i am not yelling.” ranch adds a hint of his strange humor to many of kate’s everyday actions. a synonym for the word emphasis in paragraph 4 is a) equality. b) importance. c) seriousness. d) effectiveness.

D) effectiveness.

Explanation:

A device of effectiveness is Emphasis. The emphasis is the repetition of key words and phrases or the careful arrangement of words to give them special weight and prominence.

It may also refer to the intensity of expression or the stress put on words to indicate their importance or special significance.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
