Answer:
Matilda compared her daddy to Shakespeare in a way that he was the opposite of him. His dad always said having a good strong hair meant having a good strong brain underneath, but Shakespeare was bald which meant his dad didn't have a good strong brain underneath.
Explanation:
The question above refers to the Chapter entitled, "The Platinum-Blond Man" of the Matilda book.
At this time, Matilda thought that his father deserved a "severe form of punishment" after she was called a cheat and a liar by his father just because she was able to answer an arithmetic problem. Her revenge happened after they had a conversation about his dad's hair. She compared it sarcastically to that of Shakespeare.

The Winter's Tale
by William Shakespeare
ACT V
SCENE III.
A chapel in PAULINA'S house.
LEONTES: O, peace, Paulina.
Thou shouldst a husband take by my consent,
As I by thine a wife: this is a match,
And made between's by vows. Thou hast found mine;
But how, is to be question'd; for I saw her,
As I thought, dead, and have in vain said many
A prayer upon her grave. I'll not seek far—
For him, I partly know his mind—to find thee
An honourable husband. Come, Camillo,
And take her by the hand; whose worth and honesty
Is richly noted, and here justified
By us, a pair of kings. Let's from this place.
What! look upon my brother: both your pardons,
That e'er I put between your holy looks
My ill suspicion. This is your son-in-law,
And son unto the king, who heavens directing,
Is troth-plight to your daughter. Good Paulina,
Lead us from hence, where we may leisurely
Each one demand an answer to his part
Perform'd in this wide gap of time since first
We were dissever'd: hastily lead away.
[Exeunt]

A new law in your city requires high school students to take at least one online class as a requirement for graduation. Write an article for a local news website explaining the impact pf this law and your opinion about it
Dear readers.
Many of you have children who are about to graduate from our local school and I believe you are aware of the school's imposition that high school students take at least one online class to be able to attend graduation. Although many people believe that this is a simple and beneficial imposition, I would like to tell you that it is not and that it will harm the graduation of several students if we let it happen.
Our students have different economic conditions, while many of them have access to quality internet and quality devices to access online classes, others do not have this privilege and our school has not proposed any solution for this problem to be solved.
For this reason, I conclude that this imposition should be lifted and I ask, dearly, for the support of men and women, to promote greater equality in our school.

Match logical fallacy to the correct definition
Answers:
E) Post HocB) Slippery slopeD) PopularityC) FearA) False Dichotomy===================================================
Explanations:
Part 1
The term "post hoc" has the longer name "post hoc ergo propter hoc". It's a Latin phrase that translates to "after this, therefore because of this". An example of a fallacy like is: "I turned on the sprinklers, then it started to rain outside. Therefore I caused it to rain". Clearly the sprinklers have no connection to the clouds on whether they release water or not. It was simply a coincidence the two events happened together like that.
------------------
Part 2
A slippery slope is when you start with one premise and then work your way in a chain reaction through more events. Those events may be directly connected or very loosely indirectly connected. Also, these events tend to get worse and worse as time goes on. An example of this would be a Direct TV ad that has this script "if the cable goes out, you get stressed. If you get stressed, you go on vacation. If you go on vacation, you get bitten by something exotic and your face swells up. Don't let your face swell up and ditch cable". I'm paraphrasing the ad. But the idea is that the fact the cable goes out leads to the person's face being swollen.
------------------
Part 3
The term "bandwagon fallacy" is also applicable here. Just because everyone says something is true doesn't always make it so. During the medieval period, people thought the sun revolved around the earth, but instead it's the other way around. So if someone said "the sun revolves around the earth because everyone else agrees", then they would be using a bandwagon fallacy. You would need to go out and do scientific studies and observations to prove the claim.
------------------
Part 4
Fear is a good motivator, as well as appealing to anger as well. Strong emotions like this tend to connect with people. It's likely due to just how people's brains are wired. There may be more factors as well. An example would be "vote for me or else my opponent will start another foreign war".
------------------
Part 5
A dichotomy is the idea of having 2 choices only. For example, a coin flip has 2 sides it could land on. A false dichotomy is where the person introduces only two choices for the audience to pick. This gives the audience some sense of interaction and choice. However, false dichotomy arguments tend to make one choice a very bad one while the other choice is either good or tolerable.
An example of this would be any time a political leader states "You're either with us or you're against us" usually when it involves some lead up to a war, or a war is already going on. The two sides "with us" and "against us" aren't the only possible options. It's possible to be neutral and not to be involved at all.

What do Irving's figures of speech suggest about Ichabod's imaginings?
a.) Ichabod imagines that he is the only one worthy to enjoy such a feast.
b.) Ichabod imagines that the farm animals would be happy to be eaten by him.
This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" below, identifying any figures of speech.
THE SPEECH: The pedagogue's mouth watered as he looked upon this sumptuous promise of luxurious winter fare. In his devouring mind's eye, he pictured to himself every roasting-pig running about with a pudding in his belly, and an apple in his mouth; the pigeons were snugly put to bed in a comfortable pie, and tucked in with a coverlet of crust; the geese were swimming in their own gravy; and the ducks pairing cosily in dishes, like snug married couples, with a decent competency of onion sauce. In the porkers he saw carved out the future sleek side of bacon, and juicy relishing ham; not a turkey but he beheld daintily trussed up, with its gizzard under its wing, and, peradventure, a necklace of savory sausages; and even bright chanticleer himself lay sprawling on his back, in a side dish, with uplifted claws, as if craving that quarter which his chivalrous spirit disdained to ask while living.
What do Irving's figures of speech suggest about Ichabod's imaginings?
A) Ichabod imagines that the farm animals would be happy to be eaten by him.
B) Ichabod imagines that Katrina is eager to cook delicious meals for him.
C) Ichabod imagines that the farm animals come spookily alive after cooking.
D) Ichabod imagines that he is the only one worthy to enjoy such a feast.
Answer:
The figures of speech suggest:
Ichabod imagines that the farm animals would be happy to be eaten by him. (letter B in your post, letter A above).
Explanation:
In Washington Irving's short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" the main character is Ichabod Crane, a schoolmaster who happens to be quite greedy and superstitious. The passage we are analyzing here concerns the moment Ichabod sees Baltus Van Tassel's farm, abundant with animals. Being the avaricious man he is, Ichabod begins to imagine how delightful it would be if he married Van Tassel's daughter, Katrina, not because he loves her, but because it would mean that farm and those animals would eventually be his.
In the passage, Irving uses figurative language to show how Ichabod imagines the animals would be happy to be eaten by him. Of course, eating an animal is never good for the animal. It needs to be killed in order to be eaten. But notice how Irving carefully avoids mention their slaughter, how it seems that the animals are gladly offering themselves, how happily they become pies or swim in gravy:
The pedagogue's mouth watered as he looked upon this sumptuous promise of luxurious winter fare. In his devouring mind's eye, he pictured to himself every roasting-pig running about with a pudding in his belly, and an apple in his mouth; the pigeons were snugly put to bed in a comfortable pie, and tucked in with a coverlet of crust; the geese were swimming in their own gravy; and the ducks pairing cosily in dishes, like snug married couples...
Notice the use of "snugly", "tucked in", cosily". Those words convey a sense of comfort, happiness. Ichabod is, indeed, picturing the animals as cheerfully and willingly offering themselves to be eaten by him.

A Life on the Ocean Wave
by Epes Sargent
A life on the ocean wave,
A home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters rave,
And the winds their revels keep!

On this dull, unchanging shore:
Ohl give me the flashing brine,
The spray and the tempest's roar!
Once more on the deck I stand
10 of my own swift-gliding craft:
Set saill farewell to the land!
The gale follows fair abatt.
We shoot through the sparkling foam
Like an ocean-bird set free
15 Like the ocean-bird, our home
We'll find far out on the sea
The land is no longer in view,
The clouds have begun to frown:
But with a stout vessel and crew
