Based on this passage from The Scarlett Ibis,


That summer, the summer of 1918, was blighted. In May and June there was no rain and the crops withered, curled up, then died under the thirsty sun. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east, tipping over the oaks in the yard and splitting the limbs of the elm trees. That afternoon it roared back out of the west, blew the fallen oaks around, snapping their roots and tearing them out of the earth like a hawk at the entrails of a chicken. Cotton bolls were wrenched from the stalks and lay like green walnuts in the valleys between the rows, while the cornfield leaned over uniformly so that the tassels touched the ground. Doodle and I followed Daddy out into the cotton field, where he stood, shoulders sagging, surveying the ruin. When his chin sank down onto his chest, we were frightened, and Doodle slipped his hand into mine. Suddenly Daddy straightened his shoulders, raised his giant knuckly fist, and with a voice that seemed to rumble out of the earth itself began cursing heaven, hell, the weather, and the Republican Party. Doodle and I, prodding each other and giggling, went back to the house, knowing that everything would be all right.



Which phrase is not an example of sensory imagery that make the details of the setting more vivid?



a

d

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east...

Explanation:

Imagery is a tool many writers use to help their readers visualize what is going on in the story. Using figurative and descriptive language, they describe things in a way that appeals to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This makes the story more vivid, making it feel more real.

The phrase that is not an example of sensory imagery is phrase B. It simply tells us about an occurrence. It doesn't contain any details that could appeal to our senses, unlike other phrases. The first phrase helps us imagine withered crops dying because of the heat; the second describes how the narrator's father cursed, and the third makes us picture two young boys teasing each other and giggling on their way back home.

This is why option B is the correct one.

i believe the answer is B :)

By quoting someone out of context the journalists can slant a story. The correct option is B.

What is the main purpose of a quotation?

A quotation is a statement outlining the terms and conditions under which a seller will sell goods or services to a buyer at a given price. Quotations, also known as quotes, sales quotes, or sales quotations, are used to inform prospective customers of the price of goods or services before they commit to the purchase.

By not repeating what the reporter has already written in their own words, quotations also aid in the progression of stories. As the story progresses toward its inevitable conclusion, they instead give it a sense of urgency. For recording the promises and declarations of public figures, quotations are particularly useful.

Thus, the ideal selection is option B.

Have you ever fallen out of a flying sleigh led by eight reindeer going at 100 or more miles per hour? yeah me neither. that is, until last Christmas. I was going downstairs for a cup of hot cocoa when I heard a loud THUMP. At first, I thought it was a burglar and panicked. but then I saw a pair of black boots and an enormous red body strolling around my living room.

When he saw me, he almost jumped with fright. He told me that I shouldn't be there. Shouldn't be there? It's my own house? He's the one who was breaking and entering! I was about to tell him off when he flew up onto the roof and shouted for the reindeer to move. What on earth was happening? Was I seriously getting kidnapped by Santa Claus?

I must have been dreaming. When the sleigh started to move, I nearly threw up. But eventually i calmed down. It was actually really fun. but soon we were going really fast. before i knew it, we were in paris! i watched the beautiful city drift underneath us and fell into a trance. We soon floated up above the clouds. all of a sudden, the sleigh was moving out of control! we couldnt get it to go back on track. i felt so dizzy, i nearly fell out the sleigh! actually i did!

i was falling down through the soft clouds as i watched the starry sky swirl above my head. before i knew what had happened, i was in my bed, drifting fastly to sleep.

Little Timothy sat at the window, his blue, sparkling eyes barely peering above the windowsill; only his short, blonde hair and forehead was visible if you were to look into that window from outside.

Tiny snowflakes swayed softly as they fell down from the clouds. Christmas lights inside and out g. His reindeer pajamas were soft and warm, but were perfect enough to let the warmth of the fireplace wrap around him and give him a sensational feeling that it's hugging him.

"Mama!" Little Timothy called, turning his head from the window to direct his voice. Then, he remembered he had to keep an eye on the sky, and he quickly turned right back around.

"Yes, Tim?" his mother asked, poking her head out of the kitchen. Her long brown hair was pulled up into a messy bun on her head, and although she tried to hide it, her face wore an somber expression.

"When's Santa coming?" Timothy asked the window, starting to bounce on his toes. His eyes were burning from keeping them in one place, but he had to see Santa tonight!

His mother chuckled. "Sweetie, Santa only comes at night," she told him, smiling.

Timothy frowned. "But it is nighttime, Mama. See? It's dark."

His mother laughed again softly, and she set down her mixing bowl. She walked over to him and crouched down so that she was level to him.

"Oh, sweetie, what are you doing by the window?" she asked softly. Timothy's eyes never left the view in front of him.

"Watching for Santa, Mama." he said. He wanted to look at her to see how she was reacting, but he didn't want to chance missing Santa.

"Well, then I guess he'll never come," she sighed. Timothy finally peeled his eyes away to give his mother a confused look, then shot them out the window once again. "Santa only comes when children are sleeping." she added sorrowfully. "And if you're trying to see Santa, it'll only be seeing him skip past our house." Mama wiped away a fake tear and sniffed. Timothy's eyes widened and he wasn't focusing out the window anymore (although he was still looking).

"He's not watching for Santa, Mother," Timothy's older brother, Michael remarked as he walked past. "He's waiting for Father." Michael snatched a biscuit off the counter and snarfed it down.

"Michael, dear, we all understand that Father won't be coming home for Christmas, correct?" Mother said, standing up. Her fake somberness was quickly replaced with the real kind. Mother always got upset at even the thought of Father, much less when he was talked about.

Sonnet: To Liberty (1796)
by Mary Robinson

Oh! Liberty! transcendent and sublime!

Born on the mountain's solitary crest;

Nature thy nurse, thy fire unconquered Time,

Truth, the pure inmate of thy glowing breast!

5 Oft dost thou wander by the billowy deep,

Scattering the sands that bind the level shore,

Or, towering, brave the desolating roar

That bids the tyrant tempest lash the steep!

'Tis thine, when sanguinary demons lour,

10 Amidst the thickening hosts to force thy way;

To quell the minions of oppressive power,

And shame the vaunting nothings of a day!

Still shall the human mind thy name adore,

Till chaos reigns - and worlds shall be no more!

In line 4, why is Truth described as "the pure inmate of thy glowing breast"?
A. Truth represents all that can be learned from Nature.
B. Truth represents the strength of American democracy.
C. The speaker considers Truth to be a prisoner of Liberty.

What happens in chapter 10 ( to killing a mockingbird )

Summary: Chapter 10

"Atticus, Scout says, is somewhat older than most of the other fathers in Maycomb. His relatively advanced age often embarrasses his children—he wears glasses and reads, for instance, instead of hunting and fishing like the other men in town. One day, however, a mad dog appears, wandering down the main street toward the Finches’ house. Calpurnia calls Atticus, who returns home with Heck Tate, the sheriff of Maycomb. Heck brings a rifle and asks Atticus to shoot the animal. To Jem and Scout’s amazement, Atticus does so, hitting the dog with his first shot despite his considerable distance from the dog. Later, Miss Maudie tells Jem and Scout that, as a young man, Atticus was the best shot in the county—“One-shot Finch.” Scout is eager to brag about this, but Jem tells her to keep it a secret, because if Atticus wanted them to know, he would have told them."

Answer:

Atticus sets some rules with Jem about the use of his new gun. He doesn't wanting him shooting at birds, but he is sure that Jem will. He explicitly tells him never to shoot a mockingbird, since they are the most innocent of the birds.
