The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells
But, looking, I presently saw something stirring within the
shadow.. Then something resembling a little gray snake,
about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the
writhing middle and wriggled in the air toward me – and
then another

Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow
like a gray snake. Now it's another one, and another. They
look like tentacles to me
Both passages describe the same scene but do so in different ways. Which
sentence best describes the different tones of the passages?
O A The radio broadcast is more surprising because it's told in the
present tense
B. The radio broadcast is more matter-of-fact because the speaker
does not sound surprised,
C. The novel is scarier because of the longer sentences,
O D. The novel is more frightening because it is told in the past tense.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A The radio broadcast is more surprising because it's told in the

present tense

Explanation:

The sentence that best describes the different tones of the passage is Option A because when a story like that is told in the present tense, there is still the feeling of danger because the danger isn't over yet and anything can still happen.

The other options are incorrect because

longer sentences do not make a novel more scarier than it isthe story is more frightening when it is told in present tense NOT past tensethe radio broadcast speaker seems surprised.

Create an original example for the fallacy type Mistaken Causality that could relate to you as a teen/high school student.

Answers

Answer:

If you would not buy this workbook from school, you will fail in exams.

Explanation:

Mistaken Causality is a type of fallacy which states that one event brought about the causation of the other event. It is based on the domino effect, which asserts that occurrence of one event produced the happening of other event.

An example of mistaken causality fallacy related to teen/high school that a student could relate is when teachers or school forces them to buy certain products from school only which, otherwise, may have adverse effects.

One such example of this is:

'If you would not buy this workbook from school, you will fail in exams.'

This is an example of mistaken causality. Because no student would fail if he/she knows his subject very well and study from his textbooks. Workbooks are there for further help and advance knowledge, which can be bought from stationaries or practiced online.

Why are similes hard?

Answers

Answer:

there just like life

Explanation:

I guess (:

Once you understand what is counts as a simile and what counts as a metaphor it would become more easier.

A simile is a comparison of at least two things using the words "like" or "as".

For example, the usage of a simile can include:

Tom is like a mountain goat, leaping from one rock to another.

Note the comparison of Tom to a mountain goat, and the usage of "like", or being similar too.

Another example can be:

James was as brave as a lion, strong as a bear, leapt like a gazelle, and as smart as Einstein.

Note the comparison of James to many different animals as well as a famous person.

The next thing that you should be learning is Metaphor, which is kind of related to similes.

Metaphors is a comparison, but without using the words "like" or "as"

For example, the usage of a metaphor can include:

Her long hair flowed down like a river.

While "like" or "as" was not used, her hair was compared to a river.

When you understand this concept it would be very very useful, especially when writing essays. Most of the time you may need to compare things, such as products, ideas/beliefs, and even different civilizations within a time period (specifically in history class). Understanding how to use similes & metaphors can help enhance your writing.

Read the following excerpt from chapter 21 of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of
Wrath.
Those families which had lived on a little piece of land, who had
lived and died on forty acres, had eaten or starved on the
produce of forty acres, had now the whole West to rove in. And
they scampered about, looking for work; and the highways were
streams of people, and the ditch banks were lines of people.
Behind them more were coming. The great highways streamed
with moving people. There in the Middle and Southwest had lived
a simple agrarian folk who had not changed with industry, who
had not farmed with machines or known the power and danger
of machines in private hands. They had not grown up in the
paradoxes of industry. Their senses were still sharp to the
ridiculousness of the industrial life.
And then suddenly the machines pushed them out and they
swarmed on the highways. The movement changed them; the
highways, the camps along the road, the fear of hunger and the
hunger itself, changed them. The children without dinner
changed them, the endless moving changed them. They were
migrants. And the hostility changed them, welded them, united
them-hostility that made the little towns group and arm as
though to repel an invader, squads with pick handles, clerks and
storekeepers with shotguns, guarding the world against their own
people.
Analyze how the author uses the rhetorical devices of parallelism and diction to
convey the tone of the text. Be sure to include specific details from the text to
support your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The author made used of certain rhetorical devices such as parallelism to highlight how helpless the situation of the migrants were and how they were hated and despised but had no choice but to try their best to survive.

Explanation:

Parallelism in literary writing is simply the matching or pairings of words, or phrases within a sentence.

Diction has to do with the choice of words used when writing.

The subject matter here is about the agrarian and how they found themselves out of work because of the industrial boom.

They moved in search of food and to give their families a meal to survive.

Parallelism was used to emphasize their misery, sadness and frustrations.

For example, "a simple agrarian folk who had not changed …….. who had not farmed. They had not grown up…." was used to show the simplicity of the agrarian and how they were almost destroyed.

This repetition of phrases and clauses is parallelism.

The choice of words here by the author here to accentuate their sufferings were also visible with words like 'ridiculousness' used to highlight their situation.

"Their senses were still sharp to the

ridiculousness of the industrial life"

Dear Josh,

You would never believe what happened last week in our small county here. Top Hollywood stars raided our town to film a movie blockbuster!

I couldn't believe it. I saw Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DI Caprio, and many more stars. The whole town was excited and we could barely hold our excitement. The coffee shop was buzzing, everywhere was absolutely electric.

From rumor going round, it appears that they are filming a science fiction movie. Can you imagine the absolute scenes!!!!!! Of course., I know they would use CGI to change the appearance, but it is a landmark for our town.

I also heard that they were hiring some locals to be a part of some crowd stuff that would just be in the background and look menacing or something. Tom, Jim, and Mike went yesterday to see if they could get a slot.

There were drones, big film making stuff and the likes, lights, action and so on. Man, I wish you were here to witness this, yourself. Well, I got you covered, I'll take some pictures for you.

Figurative language is when you use a word or phrase that does not have its normal everyday, literal meaning. ... There are a few different ways to use figurative language, including metaphors, similes, personification and hyperbole. See the table below for some figurative language examples and definitions.

Answer and Explanation:

There are two ways of using language- a literal and figurative way. When we use words and phrases, it is called the literal language. However, when our words or phrases depend upon the context in which we have used them, it has called figurative language.Simile: is a figure in which we compare things. Furthermore, use the words “like” and “as” to make the comparison.

For example, She is peaceful as a dove.

He is cunning as a fox.She shines like a diamond.

Metaphor: It is quite similar to simile, but we compare things directly in this figure of speech. It shows the similarities between two things.

For example, Love is a war.

She is a gem.Personification:

In this figure of speech, we personify a non-human entity as a human.

For example, The bus died on the road.

The plants were begging for care.

Hyperbole: is used to emphasize the importance of something and used to exaggerate the lateral phrase.

For example: As she is dieting for two months, she has gotten as thin as a toothpick.

His shoes are older than the hills.

Onomatopoeia: This figure of speech is usually used by a writer to create imagery in their writings. Furthermore, it involves all five senses.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence that is consistently iambic is:

D. Jamal requests a pen.

Explanation:

We can define iamb or iambic foot as a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Therefore, if we highlight the stressed syllable in each line, we will be able to verify which one is iambic:

A.Betty told me secrets.

B.Give me your sympathy.

C.Understand pirouettes.

D.Jamal requests a pen.

The only sentence that presents iambs is the last one. It contains three sequences of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one, which makes it an iambic trimeter. Therefore, letter D is the right answer.
