Question

study the editorial cartoon by signe wilkinson. which element is most effective in this cartoon? the traditional carrot nose, coal eyes, and buttons of the snowman the types of cars parked in front of the apartment the size of the snowman compared to the cars the body language and expression of the snowman

Explanation:

To determine the most effective element, we analyze each option:

• The traditional snowman features (carrot nose, etc.) are standard and not the main humor source.
• The types of cars are irrelevant to the cartoon’s message.
• The size comparison to cars doesn’t add humor or meaning.
• The snowman’s body language (arms out, as if defending the space) and expression (conveying a defensive/assertive tone) directly relate to the dialogue “I SAVED YOU A SPACE!”, making this element crucial for conveying the cartoon’s humor and message about parking/space - saving.

Answer:

the body language and expression of the snowman
