Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”

A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.

A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.

SHE. What are you doing?

HE. (innocently) Writing.

SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?

HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

SHE. (continues to look inquiry).

HE. (finally) A letter. . . .

SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?

HE. (defiantly) To my wife!

SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.

HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –

SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.

HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!

SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?

HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.

"Having demonstrated its versatility as a high-tech newswire, Twitter drew 5 points
the attention of those who would prefer to see certain information
suppressed." If we replaced the word "versatility" with the synonym
"functionality," how would this change the meaning of the sentence?
The connotation of functionality implies a working tool, while versatility implies more
than one use.
The connotation of functionality implies something new, while versatility implies
ability to change
The connotation of functionality implies a useful tool, while versatility implies a new
invention
The connotation of functionality implies something new, while versatility implies
capable of more than one use.
h

Answers

Replacement of a word with another changes the meaning of the sentence if the words used are not synonyms. So, if we replaced the word "versatility" with the synonym  "functionality," this sentence will change in the sense that;

The connotation of functionality implies a working tool, while versatility implies more  than one use.

A functionality implies a tool that is used for a specific purpose. Versatility connotes the idea of being used for several purposes.

So, replacing the word versatility with functionality will lay more emphasis on the working nature of the tool instead of its varied uses.

Therefore, sentence B is a good application.

For so long after Baby Suggs died and the boys ran off it’s just been me and Sethe and now Paul D is here. She acts completely different around him and talk about Sweet Home as if it was some magical place. Ma’am doesn’t seem to realize my pain as I sit on the stairs watching them reminisce about the old days. She’s barefoot with her skirt rolled up and her hair wild. Laughing like some teenager not the old woman she is. And how dare he come in here and disrupt our life?? He’s just some stranger to me but Ma’am seems keen on letting him stay. I pray the ghost will come and scare him off like it does to everyone else. Sethe was my only friend and now she’s too busy flirting with Paul D to even look my way.

We are all composed of trillions of infinitesimal and very complicated cells, each of
which, in a way, operates just like a city. A city has a council that governs what happens
within the boundaries of the city (the cell's council is the nucleus). The city gets the
power it needs to function from the electricity grid (in a cell, those power sources are
called mitochondria). Construction crews put up a city's buildings (ribosomes make the
proteins in a cell). Warehouses store a city's food, and factories make things to export
(cells have plastids and Golgi bodies to do those things).
How does comparing cells to cities contribute to or detract from the author's purpose?
1
The analogy raises more questions than it answers, rendering it
counterproductive and a detriment to understanding cell function.
2.
The analogy entertains and draws attention to the subject, but doesn't
further understanding of cellular functions.
3
The analogy appropriate for the general audience that the passage
was intended for because it helps visualize cellular functions.
