Answer (1)
The question is asking for an example of enumeration. Enumeration is a rhetorical device used in writing and speaking. It involves listing items, steps, or features in order to give a structured, clear account of information.
Let's look at each option:
A. A story about a cat and a dog: This is a narrative describing events or actions involving a cat and a dog. It does not involve listing items, so it is not an example of enumeration.
B. A list of the steps to bake a cake: This is the correct answer. This option involves listing each step in a sequence needed to bake a cake. Such structured lists are classic examples of enumeration, as they organize information in a straightforward manner.
C. A poem about flowers: While a poem can describe or beautify a subject, it generally does not present a list or ordered information, so it does not fit the definition of enumeration.
D. A description of a sunset: Similar to a poem, a description might give details about a sunset, but it is not structured as a list, and therefore does not constitute enumeration.
Thus, the correct answer is B. A list of the steps to bake a cake.
