Which quotation from "uses and abuses of the umbrella" most clearly demonstrates that the author is using a comical tone? "the umbrella, though we are led to believe otherwise, was not made for the rain." "an intelligent woman once said: 'the umbrella is an article proper to the desk.'" " would determine that when the rains begin the umbrellas disappear." "cork hats and newspapers of more than eight pages were invented for the rain." guys, it's for the k12 course.

"Cork hats and newspapers of more than eight pages were invented for the rain."

Explanation:

This is the statement that most clearly uses a comical tone. In this statement, we see that the speaker talks about items that can be used to protect yourself from the rain. Naturally, we expect that the first item he will mention is the umbrella. However, the author instead talks about objects we might consider random, such as cork hats and thick newspapers as designed to protect you from the rain. This creates a comical tone.

what is the context here? we need to know what story you're talking about : )

a-he encouraged islamic schools to introduce greek texts.
