Answer: Leota and Mrs. Fletcher had some negative feelings towards Mrs. Pike. Then took these emotions out on Billy . They were not angry about the peanuts but they were using the spanking in retaliation to Mrs. Pike. One reason being that Mrs. Pike found out and told that Mrs. Fletcher was pregnant. Mrs. Fletcher was angry that she did not get to tell people first (if she was going to tell it at all). Leota was jealous because of Mrs. Pike figuring out who the petrified man was and receiving the reward money. Both woman did not have a direct or relevant reason to be angry at Mrs. Pike. Their pettiness caused them to lash out at Billy instead of confronting Mrs. Pike who had given Leota the peanuts in the first place. Both women felt smug and satisfied after they spanked Billy.

OLga [1]

Answer:

B). 'Many pilgrims who came to see his Walden house site were outraged  by the commercialism.'

Explanation:

Pathos is described as the 'emotional appeal' in which the author attempts to convince the audience to accept and believe their claim by evoking their emotions.

As per the question, the excerpt 'many pilgrims...commercialism' represents the use of pathos or appeal to emotion as it attempts to convince the readers about the 'negative impacts of commercialism' by evoking their emotions by using the descriptive words like 'outraged' and encourage them to 'live a simple life in solitude and unity of nature.' Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Answer:

The word inconspicuous means not clearly visible, or not obvious. I figured this would be the meaning, considering birds would want to keep hidden from predators, so they would stay somewhere not clear and camouflaged.

konstantin123 [22]

<em>dialog that subtly suggests communication conflicts</em> This is the correct option.

The charters in the story ,“Hills Like White Elephants”, talk about "it" all the time. The reader has to infer that what the man and the woman are talking about is an abortion. However, they seem to have difficulties to speak openly about it and they do not have it clear what they will decide. There are communication conflicts. The man thinks he knows what will be best for the woman but she does not sound so assertive. Their dialogue is fragmented. There is not a "history" line through it. The reader has to assume how it is they got together and she became pregnant. Yet, the couple are faced with a difficulty they find it hard to talk about.

These options are not right:

-characters who hide secret intentions from one another ( In this case, the woman is not hiding her pregnancy, for example. The man is not hiding his intentions , either. They cannot talk freely and openly about their problem: the woman 's pregnancy).

-imagery that highlights the importance of the setting. ( The imagery is used metaphorically to ,probably, represent the characters' emotions and moods).

-metaphors that reveal significant plot developments. ( Heminway tends to use simple language to get closer to the reader. Therefore, he will not oversuse sophisticated language).
