Select the correct answer. Read the adapted excerpt from the poem “On Imagination” by Phillis Wheatley. Imagination! who can sin

g thy force? Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? Soaring through air to find the bright abode, Th' empyreal palace of the thund'ring mode, We on thy pinions can surpass the wind, And leave the rolling universe behind: From star to star the mental optics rove, Measure the skies, and range the realms above. There in one view we grasp the mighty whole, Or with new worlds amaze th' unbounded soul. What does the speaker compare imagination to in the poem? A. a soaring bird B. the sky C. a cloud D. a sailing ship

This quote from the text supports that the author uses imagination to refer to a soaring bird flying swiftly in the air.

Mars2501 [29]

In The Awakening, Edna always felt different from the people that surrounded, suggested through the flashbacks of Edna. The narrator in chapter 7 tells that "Even as a child, she had lived her own small life within herself" this suggests that Edna's action and feeling in the present are not new to her. As a role of mother and wife, she is simply not unhappy and felt the disconnection between the role that she is supposed to play and the expectation of the society. Further, Edna marries Leonce "On accident." As she is wandering out to sea in the novel, she is in reminding of her feelings from childhood by remembering about the night of swimming.

"She went on and on. she remembered the night she was far out and recalled the terror that seized her at the fear of being unable to reign the shore. She did not look back now, but went on and on, thinking of the blue-grass meadow that she had traversed when a little child, believing that it had no beginning and no end."

This provides with the realization that her interest of being free which manifest in her since childhood and realizes that she cannot have what she desires for. As a result, she realizes that she is not strong enough to maintain for this life and decided to end it all.

What makes “Bernice Bobs Her Hair” a modernist story? Select all that apply.
dexar [7]
"Breaking with tradition" is a major theme of modernist literature. Therefore, the correct answer is the second one -- it emphasizes the changing values of the time.

In this case, the changing values involve women's appearance. For centuries, women had long hair. A woman with very short hair was never seen. In the story, though, short hair is becoming the fashion.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Sentence A.

Explanation:

When using someone else's thoughts, ideas, sentences etc. in your work, it's necessary to avoid plagiarism, by properly quoting them.

There are basically two essential things to pay attention to:

- when paraphrasing someone one must put internal quotation just after the paraphrased piece of information. Internal quotation consists at least of the author's last name and page number from which the information was taken.

- when quoting someone (using his work word-by-word), the quoted content must be placed between quotation marks, followed by internal quotation.

Of course, regardless of the internal quotation, the proper citation must be provided at the end of the work, in the citation list.

So, with all this in mind, we can see that sentence A failed to obey these rules, which marks it as plagiarism.
