Read the excerpt from Infinite Jest.


I have committed to crossing my legs I hope carefully, ankle on knee, hands together in the lap of my slacks. My fingers are mated into a mirrored series of what manifests, to me, as the letter X. The interview room’s other personnel include: the University’s Director of Composition, its varsity tennis coach, and Academy prorector Mr. A. deLint. C.T. is beside me; the others sit, stand and stand, respectively, at the periphery of my focus. The tennis coach jingles pocket-change.


Which phrase or sentence is the best example of unusual language?

ankle on knee, hands together in the lap

The interview room’s other personnel include

the others sit, stand and stand, respectively

The tennis coach jingles pocket-change.

Answer:

"ankle on knee, hands together in the lap "

Explanation:

Simply put, an unusual language can be the type of language that is not normally used in a conversation or speech. It can be a weird way of saying things or even a different structuring of the words in a sentence that seems to mean something other than the intended one.

From the given excerpt of David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest", the example of an unusual language is the use of the words "ankle on knee, together in the lap". This sounds weird in itself, considering the sentence frame. How can the ankle be on the knee and both hands together in the lap? But though it sounds weird, it is just the description of how the character was sitting in front of the others.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

A

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011

Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.

Tourists who had paid money for a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can.
