In the following scenario, which maxim is not being observed?
evan: did you finish that project i gave you?
allen: well, i started it yesterday morning. i got through about two-thirds of it, but then i noticed that some data was missing. i went and asked amy about it. she had it; she just forgot to print one page, so i included it in my analysis, and then this morning, i finished writing it all up. so, yeah, it's done.
evan: wow.
maxim of quantity
maxim of quality
maxim of relevance
maxim of manner

The answer is option D.

Explanation:

For this question, the four options are part of the Grice's Maxims. As part of them, maxim of manner refers to a situation when a person avoids ambiguity by expressing their ideas as clearly and orderly as possible.  In this case, Allen mentions a part of the project, but it doesn't specify what it is and the use of pronouns in his speech is ambiguous, so option D is the correct answer.

she was killed in her home during hurricane katrina. b.she was relocated to another town after hurricane katrina. c.she died trying to get victims of the hurricane to safety. d.she is still missing — police do not know where she is.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
