Read this excerpt from a short story. Liam navigated the busy park, scanning the crowd for his friends. They had agreed to meet at the water slide, and soon the towering steps came into view. He spotted Rachel and Marco by the inner tubes, and soon the three were racing to the top of the slide. There were over a hundred wooden stairs to climb, but the friends usually climbed them without pause. This time, however, their progress was slowed by a surprising mid-day crowd. Spiraling up the stairs were dozens of eager park patrons, each gripping a slippery tube. Liam shook his head and told his friends they would need a little more patience than usual waiting for their favorite view from the top. What complication is introduced in the excerpt? Marco is unable to locate his friends in the busy park. The slide’s wooden stairs are in need of repair. Marco and his friends have to wait in a long line. Park patrons are not following the rules of the slide.

Answer:

Marco and his friends have to wait in a long line.

Explanation:

A complication is any form of an obstacle of conflict that hinders the progress of work or aim. It may be in the form of an emotional barrier or even a physical barrier, as long as it prevents the character/ characters from achieving their goal or desired aim.

In the given scene, Marco and his friend decided to meet at the water slide. Once together, they went up the wooden stairs, which hardly pose a problem for them for they had been through it numerous times. But this time, the movement up the stairs was a task in itself not because of the sheer number of stairs it'll take them to reach the top, but because of the number of people in the crowd. Their efforts to get to the top were "slowed down by a surprising mid-day crowd ..... dozens of eager park patrons". Liam's statement that "they would need a little more patience than usual waiting for their favorite view from the top" reveals their progress is slow and will take them a while to navigate the long line to get to the top.

Thus, the complication here seems to be that Marco and his friends have to wait in a long line to get to their destination.

Answer:

C  Marco and his friends have to wait in a long line.

Which point of view is used in this excerpt from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson? He was a very silent man by custom. All day he hung round the cove or upon the cliffs with a brass telescope; all evening he sat in a corner of the parlour next the fire and drank rum and water very strong. Mostly he would not speak when spoken to, only look up sudden and fierce and blow through his nose like a fog-horn; and we and the people who came about our house soon learned to let him be. Every day when he came back from his stroll he would ask if any seafaring men had gone by along the road. At first we thought it was the want of company of his own kind that made him ask this question, but at last we began to see he was desirous to avoid them. When a seaman did put up at the Admiral Benbow (as now and then some did, making by the coast road for Bristol) he would look in at him through the curtained door before he entered the parlour; and he was always sure to be as silent as a mouse when any such was present. For me, at least, there was no secret about the matter, for I was, in a way, a sharer in his alarms. He had taken me aside one day and promised me a silver fourpenny on the first of every month if I would only keep my “weather-eye open for a seafaring man with one leg” and let him know the moment he appeared. Often enough when the first of the month came round and I applied to him for my wage, he would only blow through his nose at me and stare me down, but before the week was out he was sure to think better of it, bring me my four-penny piece, and repeat his orders to look out for “the seafaring man with one leg.” A. first-person point of view B. second-person point of view C. third-person limited point of view D. third-person omniscient point of view

b. It allows Thornton to set out in search of the lost mine.
c. It shows that Thornton knows what he is talking about.
d. It makes Buck a stronger sled leader.


""Buck threw himself forward, tightening the traces with a jarring lunge. His whole body was gathered compactly together in the tremendous effort, the muscles writhing and knotting like live things under the silky fur. His great chest was low to the ground, his head forward and down, while his feet were flying like mad, the claws scarring the hard-packed snow in parallel grooves. The sled swayed and trembled, half-started forward. One of his feet slipped, and one man groaned aloud. Then the sled lurched ahead in what appeared a rapid succession of j8RKS, though it never really came to a dead stop again . . . half an inch . . . an inch . . . two inches . . . The j8rks perceptibly diminished; as the sled gained momentum, he caught them up, till it was moving steadily along.""

Which literary technique is used in this excerpt from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley? My life, as it passed thus, was indeed hateful to me, and it was during sleep alone that I could taste joy. O blessed sleep! Often, when most miserable, I sank to repose, and my dreams lulled me even to rapture. The spirits that guarded me had provided these moments, or rather hours, of happiness that I might retain strength to fulfil my pilgrimage. Deprived of this respite, I should have sunk under my hardships. During the day I was sustained and inspirited by the hope of night, for in sleep I saw my friends, my wife, and my beloved country; again I saw the benevolent countenance of my father, heard the silver tones of my Elizabeth's voice, and beheld Clerval enjoying health and youth. Often, when wearied by a toilsome march, I persuaded myself that I was dreaming until night should come and that I should then enjoy reality in the arms of my dearest friends. What agonizing fondness did I feel for them! How did I cling to their dear forms, as sometimes they haunted even my waking hours, and persuade myself that they still lived! At such moments vengeance, that burned within me, died in my heart, and I pursued my path towards the destruction of the daemon more as a task enjoined by heaven, as the mechanical impulse of some power of which I was unconscious, than as the ardent desire of my soul. What his feelings were whom I pursued I cannot know. Sometimes, indeed, he left marks in writing on the barks of the trees or cut in stone that guided me and instigated my fury. "My reign is not yet over"—these words were legible in one of these inscriptions—"you live, and my power is complete. Follow me; I seek the everlasting ices of the north, where you will feel the misery of cold and frost, to which I am impassive. You will find near this place, if you follow not too tardily, a dead hare; eat and be refreshed. Come on, my enemy; we have yet to wrestle for our lives, but many hard and miserable hours must you endure until that period shall arrive." Scoffing devil! Again do I vow vengeance; again do I devote thee, miserable fiend, to torture and death. Never will I give up my search until he or I perish; and then with what ecstasy shall I join my Elizabeth and my departed friends, who even now prepare for me the reward of my tedious toil and horrible pilgrimage!
