Answer:

If you’ve never seen the ocean, you’ve missed a great experience. As you scan the horizon, the expanse of sparkling deep blue water extends to the azure sky. As you approach the shoreline, you feel the fine cool mist driven by the breeze as waves crash loudly on the gritty sand. Mounds of water form as if by magic, donning bubbly caps of white as they grow taller, curling as they race toward the beach. If you are on the Pacific coast at sunset, and there are a few clouds near the horizon, you will enjoy a spectacle of light and color as the reddening sun paints the clouds in hues of gold, crimson, and scarlet as it dips below the edge of the water, and purple dusk settles over the scene.

Explanation:

There is an example. I tried to incorporate images with shapes and colors,  feeling, and movement.

I hope it helps!

Calvary” most likely suggest?
bazaltina [42]
I think this question is about the last stanza of "That I did always love". For me, Calvary here represents that the speaker is in a great deal of pain. Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified and He was in great pain. Also, this word, today, represents an experience of extreme suffering.

Answer:

b. for

c. was

d. going

e. when

f. to

g. faced

h. of

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi <u>went </u>to England <u>for</u> higher studies at the age of 19. His mother <u>was</u> apprehensive about young men <u>going</u> astray in western society. But her fears were allayed <u>when</u> Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not <u>to</u> touch meat, wine and women. He <u>faced</u> a lot <u>of</u> difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we should use the Past Simple, as the whole story refers to the past. Therefore, we should use verbs like <em>went, was, faced</em>, etc...

The construction go for something means <em>try to achieve a goal</em>, in this case, he tried to finish his higher studies.

e.g. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi <u>went </u>to England <u>for</u> higher studies at the age of 19.

The construction <em>to be afraid/worried/apprehensive about + V+ -ing</em><em> </em>contains the verb with <em>-ing</em> at the end, as a part of this construction, so, in this case, we should change the verb form from <em>go </em>to <em>going</em>.

e.g. . His mother <u>was apprehensive about</u> young men <u>going</u> astray in western society.

But her fears were allayed <u>when</u> Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not <u>to</u> touch meat, wine and women.

In this sentence, we should use when instead of that, because <em>when </em>acts as a conjunction meaning <em>at the time that</em>.

We use the construction not to when we want to emphasize the absence of some action; in this case, that he will not touch meat, wine and women.

The construction a lot of refers to a large number or amount of things (in this case difficulties).

He faced <u>a lot of</u> difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

What can the reader analyze in a magical realist story in order to discover it's theme?
timurjin [86]

In order to discover the theme of a magical realist story, the reader can analyze the recurring topics/issues characters talk about/struggle with.


An example of it can be found in Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", which is a work of magical realism. The main character experiences unrequited love and never gives up. Throughout the whole book, the poor man keeps hoping his beloved one will some day give in to his advances. We can say the theme of this magical realist story is the invincible power of true love.


Another work by García Márquez (his most famous one), "100 years of Solitude", revolves around the Buendías, a family who lives in the fictional municipality of Macondo. It is another work of pure magical realism, since there is the rain that lasts for many years and also the woman who lives to be much more than 100 (really much more). It shows successive generations of the same family and also how certain characteristics can be inherited. The theme here is that of the relevance of kinship.
