In order to address the growing issue of medical absences in the sixth grade at Grover Middle School, I recommend a two-part plan. First, we should hire a professional deep-cleaning service to scrub down the sixth-grade classrooms. Then, we should have an assembly for the sixth graders where the school nurse talks about basic strategies for not spreading germs. I know these are drastic measures, but the numbers don't lie, and the sooner we put this plan into action, the sooner we'll finally have sixth-grade classrooms full of healthy kids ready to learn.

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.
