There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. there is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. there is a failure here that topples all our success. the fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. and children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. and coroners must fill in the certificates—died of malnutrition—because the food must rot, must be forced to rot.
which best describes how the diction supports the tone of this passage?
a. the phrase "died of malnutrition" communicates the author's sadness about the children's dying of pellagra.
b. the author uses irony to show the absurdity of malnourished children dying when food is plentiful.
c. the words "crime" and "denunciation" reveal the author's outrage toward the wasting of food.
d. the author repeats the phrase "there is" to create parallelism and reinforce the idea of loss.

The correct answer is C. The words "crime" and "denunciation" reveal the author's outrage toward the wasting of food.

Explanation:

The tone refers to the attitude of the writer towards the subject or topic the author is writing about, this means the tone expresses the position and point of view of the author towards the situation that is being described in the text. This attitude or position can be identified by the use of language, the point of view and the diction of the author, which is the election of words to refer to the main subject or topic.

In the excerpt presented the author describes the way food is wasted and children died because of this. The diction or election of words in this case is the use of words such as "crime", "denunciation", "died of malnutrition", "food must rot" and "must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange" to show the author disagrees with the situation of food being wasted and feels outraged or indignant as the author considers this situation is mainly unfair. Considering the previous ideas it can be concluded the diction or election of words supports the tone of this passage as the words "crime" and "denunciation" revel the author's outrage toward the wasting of food.

agamemnon was the leader of the greek troops in the trojan wars and orestes was his son. when agamemnon returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. after a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. he killed his mother, but greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. there are a lot of similarities with the ulysses/telemachus father son pair. ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to troy. he still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. while penelope is faithful to ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring ulysses. in the same context, telemachus is asked just like orestes to restitution his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. athena is him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
