The correct answer is C.

In this excerpt, Howell is trying to show how Editha sought to manipulate her fiancé, George Gearson into going to war.

Even though she knew she was merely repeating things she had read on the newspapers, she would not stop until her point was made and George was convinced of the utter necessity of fighting in the war.

The best revision of the modifier "badly" in the sentence 5 is "bad" : She felt bad that someone had lost such a nice watch. The word badly is an adverb, the word that modifies other words and verbs: badly made furniture ; she was treated very badly. In this sentence (modified), the word bad is an adjective that follows a linking verb "felt."

Match each style of poetry to its description.

kotykmax [81]

Here are the definitions to each of the tiles.

Elegy - An elegy is sorrowful or melancholy. An elegy is often written to lament someone's death. Similar to odes, elegies have not set form.

Ballad - A ballad is a story told in the oral tradition but in the form of a song.

Epic - An epic is a long poem with a complex plot, elevated language, and often the presence or mention of supernatural beings.

Ode - Odes often employ a figure of speech in which the speaker directly addresses a person or object that is not present or is imaginary.

Now that we have the definition of each of the tiles. All we have to do match them to each of the styles of poetry.

a poem to commemorate someone who has passed away is an Elegy.

a long, melodious poem that narrates a story is a Ballad.

a long poem with a complex plot, elevated language, and the presence of supernatural beings is an Epic.

a poem of praise that addresses a person or object that is not present or is imaginary is an Ode.
