The passage that uses non sequitur is "Diana asked Manuel what time they should leave for dinner. He replied, 'It's really raining hard outside'".
Explicação
## Step 1A non sequitur is a statement or phrase that does not logically follow from the previous statement. It is a Latin phrase that means "it does not follow". In literature, a non sequitur is often used to create a humorous or absurd effect.## Step 2In the given options, we need to identify which one contains a non sequitur. ## Step 3Looking at the options, we can see that the first option, "Diana asked Manuel what time they should leave for dinner. He replied, 'It's really raining hard outside'", is a non sequitur. This is because Manuel's response does not logically follow Diana's question. The question is about the time they should leave for dinner, but Manuel's response is about the weather, which is not related to the question.
