Paragraph: "It may seem surprising that no Confederate sympathizers took action against Van Lew, given her strong and public vie

ws on secession and slavery. Surely there were suspicions, especially among her upper-crust neighbors, but the matter never went beyond those suspicions. Historians have suggested that the secessionists were victims of their own cultural bias, believing that no aristocratic person, and certainly not a lady, would ever consider taking part in anything as impolite as spying. A true lady managed her servants, prepared parties and gatherings, and blindly supported her husband. Such attitudes worked in Van Lew's favor, diverting suspicion from her."
Based on your reading beyond this paragraph, what is an overall central idea that the author develops in The Dark Game?

A. Van Lew’s actions of espionage were possible only because she was a woman.
B. Van Lew’s deviant behavior was not the norm for aristocratic people.
C. Van Lew’s heroism lies in that she openly spoke about her views of secession and slavery.
D. Van Lew’s actions revolutionized the expectation and role of women in society.

Carl Sandburg's "Grass" is a three-stanza ballad in free verse with straightforward words communicating a significant message. Free verse disregards standard tenets of meter for the rhythms of customary discussion. Basically, free verse frees verse from adjustment to inflexible metrical tenets that manage push designs and the quantity of syllables per line.

Which statement best describes the use of sound devices in the lines? Both excerpts use alliteration as a sound device. Both exc
Lina20 [59]

The statement that best describes the use of sound devices in the lines is the one that reads as follows: "Excerpt 1 contains alliteration, and excerpt 2 contains onomatopeia".

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the first example, the sound /t/ is repeated in "turbulency tells". On the other hand, onomatopeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. In the second example, there are "moaning" and "groaning", both verbs relating to sounds and being formed from the sound they are associated with.
