So the duke said these Arkansaw lunkheads couldn't come up to Shakespeare; what they wanted was low comedy—and maybe something ruther worse than low comedy, he reckoned.

Based on the excerpt, which best describes the duke’s impression of people in this part of Arkansas?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Based on the excerpt, what best describes the duke's impression of people in this part of Arkansas is: he thinks they are not intelligent.

Explanation:

The passage we are analyzing here is from the novel "Huckleberry Finn," which is narrated by the homonym character, a young boy who escapes his abusive father. The author is the famous American author Mark Twain (1835-1910), whose humor and narratives are extremely famous all over the world.

In the passage, we can tell the duke is judging the people of Arkansas as being intellectually inferior. Notice the word choice in "low comedy" and, even worse, "lunkheads". A "lunkhead" is a slow-witted person. The duke thinks those people are not intelligent, which is why their choice of entertainment is "low", inferior.

Which is an example of a paradox within the excerpt?

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss consume:
the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;

Answers

Answer:

the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.

Explanation:

A figure of speech which is produced when two contrasting statements are combined to produce a somewhat puzzling or absurd superficial meaning. However, when researched may prove to hold or be true.

In the excerpt above, a paradox could be picked in the statement ;

"the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness"

Here, honey as popularly known and described here as sweet, then still regarded as loathsome, which means repulsive.

Hence, Loathsome in deliciousness, that is repulsive and delicious seems very contradictory atleast superficially.

(1) Grocery shoppers coast their carts through aisles of food with various labels such as “gluten free,” “cage free” “no antibiotics” “grass fed,” “no MSGs,” and so forth. (2) All this labeling can be overwhelming. (3) This is why so many people scratch their heads as they try to figure out the difference between natural and organic products. (4) However, these terms don't have to be confusing. (5) Organic means that the ingredients a manufacturer uses to make products are processed using organic farming methods. (6) Farmers use minimal pesticides and no synthetic fertilizer. (7) Therefore, farmers who use organic methods to grow their crops must have their farms inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. (8) Natural foods, on the other hand, are foods that should be minimally processed. (9) They are free of additives, which include preservatives to prolong shelf life and artificial ingredients. (10) Authentic natural products made with organic ingredients would be best for people and the environment. (11) However, this is rarely the case. (12) Although peanut butter may be made naturally, the peanuts may not have been grown organically. (13) Organic peanut butter may contain organically-grown peanuts, but the peanuts could have been severely processed when the manufacturer made the peanut butter. (14) Other than meat and poultry products, no laws regulate use of the term “natural.” (15) So-called natural product manufacturers often try to deceive consumers into thinking they are purchasing a healthful product. (16) To determine whether or not a product really is natural, consumers should read the ingredients label. (17) If it lists ingredients that sound like they were made in a lab, the product probably isn’t as natural as most consumers are led to believe. (18) Aspartame is an artificial sweetener made in labs.

Hi. Unfortunately your question is incomplete. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question very similar to yours that asked to select the sentence where the information "Manufacturers cannot lawfully label their products organic without proof," should be added. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer:

sentence 6

Explanation:

The information "Manufacturers cannot lawfully label their products organic without proof" manages to be coherent after sentence 6, leaving the text fluid, precise and cohesive. Sentence 6 shows that organic products need to be produced with a minimum of chemical products, however, it is necessary to prove that these chemical products were not used in the production process, for the agricultural product to be called organic. Thus, we can agree that the sentence "Manufacturers cannot lawfully label their products organic without proof" extends the meaning of sentence 6 if it is added right after it.
