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.

Read the introduction to an argumentative essay.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: By adding closing sentence

Explanation:

The introduction will be more effective if the writer would add a closing sentence. The main idea of closing sentences is to establish and restates the most important thing about the argumentative essay, to show what are the key and the main idea of that essay.

This introduction needs strength and stable information because these pieces of information are incomplete and they are left hanging. Because it is the argumentative essay it would be good to be clear about what the author is arguing and what is he trying to describe.

Can forgiveness play a role in criminal justice (commonlit)
Mazyrski [523]

4. D.  Andy was shocked and horrified to hear the details of how Ann was killed and felt her loss more deeply.

5. C. “‘Hearing Conor,’ he said, ‘I made sounds I’ve never heard myself make. To hear that your daughter was on the floor saying ‘no’ and holding her hands up and still be shot is just — it’s just not...’ He tried to explain the horror of such knowledge, but it’s not easy.” ( Paragraph 92)

This evidence best proves the answer to question #4 and explains why #4 is correct. In option C, it specifically states Andy's reaction to Conor's account of Ann's murder. Listening to Conor tell about how Ann was on the floor and saying, "no" while she was helpless to stop him, horrified and shocked Andy. The narrator specifically says that the horror of the knowledge was hard for him to explain.
