Read the excerpt from
Heart of a Samurai
.
A bird! He sat up and shook his friend. "Goemon-chan!" he said. "A bird!"
Goemon opened one eye. "It's a bird, that is true:" Goemon closed his eyes again.
"Ahodori-
fool bird . . ."
"But, Goemon-chan!" Manjiro shook him again. "Doesn't a bird mean there could be land nearby?"
"Yes," Goemon sighed. Suddenly his head popped up. "Did you say land?"
The two boys shook the others, and they all stared over the side of the boat at a small, dark line on the horizon. As the boat drifted toward it, the dark line grew into a tall, looming shape: an island.
Which
best
states how the excerpt keeps readers interested in the story?
It creates suspense.
It explains a past event.
It describes a conflict.
It quickens the story’s pace.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. It creates suspense

Explanation:

The whole passage is leading up to the discovery of the island.

The diction the passage also uses creates a sense of suspense. Words like "dark," and "looming shape" help employ suspense.

The dialogue also helps create the suspense because the guys are excited that there may be an island.

By describing the island this way it makes the reader want to stay and see what happens on the island.

Hope this helps!!

What is the visual effect of the excerpt? The reader visualizes a scene of disarray that becomes orderly. The reader visualizes an argument between the characters. The reader visualizes variously sized and shaped parking spaces. The reader visualizes a scene of geometric angles.

Answers

Answer: The reader visualizes a scene of geometric angles.

Explanation:

The visual effect of the excerpt is that "the reader visualizes a scene of geometric angles".

This can be inferred from the excerpt as the reader made use of different shapes such as circle, line, , triangle, square and also used the word "angle". This implies that a scene of geometric angles was visualized by the reader.

Answers

Answer:

hello

Explanation:

wanna play minecraft

Answer:

Dear Mr. Abbey,  

After reading your essay, I’ve stumbled upon a few unconvincing parts. I write this letter in hopes to help improve your writing. You have stated in your paper that the construction of roads has lessened the quality of these landmarks. Throughout studying your work, I’ve come to a few suggestions you should consider.  

To start things off, in the article you claimed that to be able to enjoy the canyon, you must be willing to hike there. In doing this, you compared people who have disabilities with being lazy. The exact term you gave them was “American slobs”. People can’t help being disabled ━ according to cdc.gov, “61 million adults in the United States live with a disability (1 in 4). 13.7% have serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs''. You throwing these people off for not being able to walk this distance will only make them angry rather than convince them to agree with you. Turning the topic around, the roads are helpful to people who can’t walk the full distance. With these roads, this branches out to a new group of people, exposing them to a new area they would have never seen without this transportation.

With all this said, you can easily fix this. For example, instead of bringing the group that contains about 30% of the adult US population down; change your wording so you make it obvious that you’re on their side. Delete the harsh terms and rephrase it all. The canyons mean a great deal to you, the more people you have on your side, the more power you hold.

In conclusion, this small change will bring nothing but positivity your way. Not only this, you’d get more people to visit the canyon. Your passion is admirable, and in removing the negativity towards this group of people, more will agree. I thank you for your time in reading this letter, and I hope you consider my recommendation.  

Sincerely,

Story:

A girl was walking with her partner in the crowded streets of Swan Vile Streets. The girl, Jules, had a baton in her hand, being a Guardswomen, in her other hand was a dagger that she had kept in her hidden knife cloth under her uniform’s sleeve. She could hear the whispers and voices of the people around her.

“Her eyes are like ghosts,” one woman whispered to the man on her left. The man nodded. Jules ground her teeth, her hair dancing with the wind, narrowed her eyes to slits, hating to be acknowledged by the people around her. Don’t listen to them, just bite the bullet. Jules thought to herself as she walked through the crowd.

Once Jules walked throughout the crowded streets with her partner, they turned right to a narrow, sketchy-looking, alley. There were homeless families sitting on thin sheets of blankets, with bowls in front of them. Jules checked her purse and tossed them the spare coppers she had. When Jules turned to leave the alley, she saw more homeless families enter the alley, arguing that they should get at least a few coppers or so.

“The early bird gets the worm,” one of the fathers said to the new families that came in the valley.

“Partner, we should leave soon, if we don’t the-,” Jules said, before being hit in the back by a person. Jules whipped around and snarled when she found one of the homeless girl from the alley. Swinging her legs up and around the girl’s neck, Jules swung her legs towards her, landing on her back, then rolled until she was on top of the girl.

“Time is a thief,” The girl said, before fainting. Frowning, Jules let go of the girl, but slipped a silver coin in her sleeve before leaving with her partner to continue with her day.

You might think that after 200 years, the scientists who find, name, and describeEarth's species would be close to finished. But taxonomists, as organized as they maybe, have no idea how many species Earth has. Nor can they even provide aneducated guess. Although reporting over 16,000 new species every year,taxonomists still cannot predict how many more are undiscovered.In total, taxonomists have categorized and listed 1.2 million species on Earth. At thispoint, you would think scientists should be able to use the information they havegathered to make good predictions about how many species an ecosystem cansupport. This would help them make better predictions about how many species areleft to identify. So far, however, the guesses seem to vary so greatly that it seemsthere is no good theory for making a prediction.One of the main problems is that most of the places that seem to have a lot ofdiverse species are in places that are hard to get to. One such place is the ocean,where scientists believe some 80 percent of Earth's creatures are hiding at depthstoo deep for us to study. In addition, many of the planet's most diverse areas are inremote places with few taxonomists.Despite all the unknowns, scientists have agreed that there are between five and 15million species left to discover on Earth. This is a huge range, but whether it's five or15, taxonomists clearly still have a lot of work to do.
