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.

To answer this question, we first have to clarify some terms.

A frame story occurs when a story is told within a story. For example, in the movie "The Princess Bride," the story is told by a grandfather telling a story to his grandson. The story he tells is about the Princess Bride. The above excerpt does not have a frame structure. As a result, option B. can be eliminated.

A flashback occurs when a segment of the story goes back in time. For example, if the narrator is in the middle of a scene and then thinks about a time from his childhood, that is a flashback. However, in this excerpt from the novel, all of the action is occurring in the present. As a result, option D. can be eliminated.

That leaves options A. and C. It is clear the narration is occurring in chronological order. However, is that the best answer? To decide, look closely at what is happening in the scene. 

The narrator is doing two things here. First, the narrator describes Scotty's actions. Second, the narrator is commenting on them. For example: He begins to play a song, but then the narrator switches to commentary and describes the song's "gushy metallic complexity." Scotty plays two more songs, and the narrator comments "their amplification was fine." This format continues throughout the selection.

Therefore, the best answer to this question is option A: Multiple switches are used between the action and commentary.

What is the topic sentence in this paragraph? Alexander Hamilton’s major role in the US government was secretary of the Treasury
Triss [41]

He used his position to generate income to strengthen the federal government’s power.

 

<span>Frequently, the first sentence of a paragraph will be the topic sentence, the notion of which might make the selection of the topic sentence of this paragraph a bit tricky.  However, in this instance, the topic sentence is, in fact, the second sentence.  This can be determined by looking at all the body sentences.  When we look at the body sentences, all sentences are about the income and power of the government.  As such, the remainder of the paragraph following the second sentence is an elaboration of the second sentence, “He used his position to generate income to strengthen the federal government’s power.”  Thus, it is safe to say that the second sentence is the topic sentence of the paragraph.</span>
