Nene failed to persuade Nnaemeka to send the news of his marriage plans to her via letter.
She knew very little about the tradition of the Igbos, having spent most of her life in Lagos.
Nnaemeka knew better than to send his father, a man who like most in Nnaemeka's hometown, was rigidly set in their traditional ways.
It had never been done before, a man in his hometown to marry a woman who spoke another tongue.
So not having this knowledge, Nene failed to acknowledge the gravity of Nnaemeka's decision to marry her and its consequences.
The question is culled from "Marriage is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe.

Study the editorial cartoon by Bill Mauldin. A dilapidated schoolhouse sits in darkness. Pieces of the schoolhouse are strewn about and the "public school" sign is hanging crookedly. How does the atmosphere around the school contribute to the effectiveness of the cartoon's message? The disarray in front shows that public schools have suffered harsh weather damages. The abandoned schoolhouse with an eerie background dramatizes the loss of public schools. The element of disrepair shows readers that this schoolhouse was not built well. The haunted theme makes the reader believe that public schools are ghostly places.
Answer:
The abandoned schoolhouse with an eerie background dramatizes the loss of public schools.
Explanation:
The cartoon your question refers to is attached.
The cartoon features a public school completely destroyed and impossible to use. The environment around the school is empty, frosted with stules and pieces of the destroyed school. All this conveys a feeling that the public school is being lost, ignored and a victim of neglect. This all represents the lack of responsibility for education and the waste of public money used in the construction of the school.

The abandoned schoolhouse with an eerie background dramatizes the loss of public schools.

Dear Sir,
I am writing to your esteemed newspaper about the horrendous situation of traffic in and around ABC Colony. Not only is the traffic bad on normal days, but it also becomes much worse during the monsoons and winters. There are no traffic lights working, nor are there any traffic policemen on duty. Moreover, the road is full of potholes that further disrupts and pose a huge threat to the movement of traffic and even the safety of both drivers and the ones walking.
The colony’s welfare association has written to the concerned authorities about the issue but no action has been taken so far. So, I am writing to your newspaper in the hope that the issue catches the attention of the concerned authorities.
Thank you.

Which best states a comparison of the tones used in these sentences?
Answer:
This question is missing the sentences, being incomplete for that reason. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read this sentence from Silent Spring.
Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wildflowers delighted the traveler's eye through much of the year.
Read this sentence from "Save the Redwoods".
The wrongs done to trees, wrongs of every sort, are done in the darkness of ignorance and unbelief, for when light comes the heart of the people is always right.
Which best states a comparison of the tones used in these sentences?
A. Both sentences are negative, but the second sentence has a more negative tone.
B. Both sentences are positive, but the first sentence has a more serious tone.
C. Both sentences are despairing, but the first sentence has a gloomier tone.
D. Both sentences are uplifting, but the second sentence has a more moral tone.
Answer:
The option that best states a comparison of the tones is:
D. Both sentences are uplifting, but the second sentence has a more moral tone.
Explanation:
Both the sentences from "Silent Spring" and "Save the Redwoods" have an uplifting tone. However, the second sentence talks of right and wrong, which is a moral matter. The first sentence does not bring any type of judgment, only a sense of inspiration and delight. The second sentence speaks of light coming to the heart of people, which does inspire some cheerfulness. But it still talks of darkness, ignorance, and wrongful doing. Therefore, we can say both sentences are uplifting, but the second one has a more moral tone.

Question 1. Give 3 utterances including hedges and explain which Gricean Maxims the speakers violate in each utterance.
Answer:
There were more or less 100 people at the theater.
In short, we broke up.
I assume he´s not coming.
Explanation:
The Hedges are in bold.
The Gricean Maxims are:
Maxim of Quantity: a contribution should be as informative as necessary for the exchange.
Maxim of quality: do not say what you believe to be false or something of which you lack adequate evidence.
Maxim of relation: provide only relevant information.
Maxim of manner: avoid vagueness and ambiguity, be brief and orderly.
The first two sentences infringe the Maxim of Quantity because the hedges reflect a lack of detail in the information provided, meaning that information necessary for the exchange is missing.
The third sentence infringes the Maxim of quality because an assumption is information based on no evidence.
