I think the correct answer is: B) The bride floated down the aisle to her awaiting love.

First of all, diction is the writer's choice of words. By choosing the words, the author defines the mood and the style of writing. This can be the difference between a great writer or an average one, between capturinf the readers attention or not.

In the options given, the B seems like a sentence that was well thought by the writer as he uses profound words that evoke a certain feeling, in this case it could be love. The use of the word "floated" gives us a clue on how the bride was feeling, she didn't just walk. The rest of the options only describe mere actions without giving them a deeper meaning.

JulijaS [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Paine uses personification to show how America has the capacity to be happy to get rid of foreign domination. As we know America is a continent (although Paine is referring to the country, USA) and therefore it is an inanimate being, but the ability to be happy is something unique to living beings. When Paine uses this ability to describe a state of America, he is using personification to show how happy American citizens will be with an independent and self-sufficient America that can tackle its own challenges without being dependent on anyone, being happy.

harina [27]

Quindlen links the conclusion to the introduction of her essay with the words "like many improbable ideas, when it works, it's a wonder", which is very close to her claim in the overall text, "America is an Improbable idea", it isn't supposed to work but it does despite all of the differences, specifically racial or ethnic, within it.
