The correct answer is alternative one.
In the first excerpt, White has affectionate memories about the good-hearted and thoughtful performances that people executed at the time they moved forward. As a consequence, the passage is a good example that human beings possesss the ability to behave in a benevolent and self-sacrificing manner in the course of a catastrophe.
The correct answers are 1 y 4. In option one it is evident that Grete, who at the beginning of the story was a sweet girl, now has changed completely with his brother, Gregor, who was the one that always believed in her and that supported her studies. Nonetheless, since Gregor has become a bug, Grete no longer loves him because she is disgusted by the new appearance of her brother and she cannot stand going inside his room with his parents in order to check how Gregor is improving. Option four has to do with the psychical transformation of Grete from a girl to a woman, according to her parents’ opinion as a consequence of her growing.
Options two and three are not correct since the first one does not mention the transformation that Grete suffered through the time. It only mentions the fact that Grete had been sleeping since the three gentlemen had move in and it does not have a connection with her transformation. On the other hand, option three has nothing to do with her transformation since the excerpt is talking about the fact that Mr. Samsa is chasing out the three gentlemen and one of them is asking why is she doing that and she then answers that this is what she wanted to say; after that, the three men just went out.
Answer:
In this excerpt, Reagan uses:
C. allusion to give his speech more authority.
Explanation:
Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone. It is common for the author or speaker to not explain much, since he assumes the audience knows to whom or what he refers.
<u>In this particular case, President Reagan used allusion with the purpose of conferring his speech more authority. The Bible is a well-known book, even in countries where Christianity is not prevalent. In the U.S., a country largely constituted of Christians, alluding to the Bible is a way to immediately inspire respect and evoke obedience. Therefore, mentioning the wisdom "contained in the book of Genesis in the Bible" helps Reagan's speech sound more authoritative, more worthy of respect</u>.
Answer: "Then we ate pizza and played video games with my family"
Explanation:
"Then I invited Hailey to spend the night at my house." wouldn't make sense due to the previous sentence stating that they already discussed unpacking Hailey's sleeping bag.
"Finally, I helped Hailey pack up her belongings in the morning." also wouldn'y make sense because "Finally" doesn't work in the middle of a sentence. Same thing with "Finally, Hailey’s mother agreed to let Hailey sleep over."
<h3><u>Two dissimilar things is Whitman comparing when he uses the metaphor of a little house:</u></h3>
The poet Walt Whiteman has talked about the perfumes or smell of anything like a metaphor. He has related the sense of smell with the memories. He has talked about the smell of a house or a room. Also, at the same time, he has talked about the smell of books in the shelves.
The two dissimilar things he has mentioned which were specific about the house memories. One is the smell of the house or the room and the other is the smell of the books on the shelves. All the above two things remind us about our past memories.
