5.Mrs. Stevenson cannot be heard by the other callers, and she slowly realizes that she is hearing something she obviously was not intended to hear. Highlight the part of the text where Mrs. Stevenson and the reader know for sure that the callers are planning a crime. What draws the reader into the story's suspense?

Answers

Answer 1

This question is about "Sorry, wrong number"

Answer:

The part of the text that makes it clear that you called Mrs. Stevenson is planning a crime is written in the line "she is hearing something she obviously was not intended to hear". That sentence is also capable of creating suspense about what Mrs. Stevenson is going to do with that information and whether the crime is really going to happen. This attracts the reader.

Explanation:

Mrs. Stevenson overhears a call that is reporting a murder plan. When she hears this, she realizes that she is in the middle of planning a crime and needs to do something about it, but even if she wants to tell someone, no one answers when she calls and when they do, she doesn't believe her narrative and they don't do anything about it. .

This creates a strong suspense tone and a claustrophobic feeling as the reader is apprehensive about what can happen and how it will happen.

The author's choice to tell the story from the children's perspectives is effective. The children do not have the same prejudices and concerns that the adults have. As a result, they are open to one another and become friends despite their differences. They provide the reader with unbiased insight into what is happening on the mainland and on Malaga Island.

Answers

Hello. The correct question for the answer posted above is:

The author chose to tell this story from the perspective of children, rather than adults. Is this strategy effective for recounting the story of the injustice done to the people of Malaga Island? Write three to four sentences to support your position, and include details from the story.

Answer:

The strategy chosen by the author is effective.

Explanation:

As stated above, children are not afraid to use their words and are very truthful because they have no reason, modesty, shame or manipulation when they decide to tell a story. They tell a story as it actually happened, often, in minute detail, as they are very observant.

So when the author decides to tell the story from the children's perspective, he wants to tell a story as true and impartial as they are. So yes, this strategy was effective in telling what happened on the island of Malaga.

This speech was said by Napoleon Bonaparte on April 20, 1814, after he failed to invade Russia.

Explanation:

Napoleon, in fact, had a very large and powerful reign, being feared throughout Europe. Amid so many conquests, a defeat ended his reign, the defeat in invading Russia in 1814.

Indeed, the attempted invasion of Russia was the bloodiest battle that Napoleon and his army faced, but that battle massacred the French army withdrew the faith of the population in Napoleon and ended his reign.

The Human Abstract

by William Blake



Pity would be no more

If we did not make somebody poor,

And Mercy no more could be

If all were as happy as we.



And mutual fear brings Peace,

Till the selfish loves increase;

Then Cruelty knits a snare,

And spreads his baits with care.



He sits down with holy fears,

And waters the ground with tears;

Then Humility takes its root

Underneath his foot.



Soon spreads the dismal shade

Of Mystery over his head,

And the caterpillar and fly

Feed on the Mystery.



And it bears the fruit of Deceit,

Ruddy and sweet to eat,

And the raven his nest has made

In its thickest shade.



The gods of the earth and sea

Sought through nature to find this tree,

Which sentence includes the best example of a sensory detail? Morgan reached into the bag and pulled out a slimy peach. Morgan persuaded her mother to buy a bag of peaches. Morgan wondered if peaches would make good muffins. Morgan poked her tongue out at the grocery clerk.

Answers

Answer:

Morgan reached into the bag and pulled out a slimy peach.

Explanation:

A sensory detail means the description of a thing by using the five senses- the sense of taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound. So, if any detail about a thing is given by using such means, then it means that they include sensory details.

Among the given examples, the sentence that contains the sensory detail is the first option. This is because the word "slimy" refers to the sense of touch with which the "peach" is described.

Thus, the correct answer is "Morgan reached into the bag and pulled out a slimy peach".
