The answer is option 1: <u>Simile</u>.

A simile is a figurative language or a metaphor that uses comparisons to describe an event, someone, a place, etc. It aims to make the writing more colorful and interesting. We can normally identify a simile because it uses "like", "as" and "as in" in the sentence.

In this case, we know for sure that the narrator describes ice skating using a simile since it describes it by comparing it with another action "is like jumping on a moving merry-go-round."

What connection does the author draw between physiological and psychological reaction to a life threatening incident in Thai cav
andreev551 [17]

The Story:

When 12 young footballers and their coach entered the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Thailand, it was supposed to be a fun outing after football practice. But when a torrent of flood water rushed in after heavy rain, the group became trapped on a small rock shelf deep inside the cave’s vast network of tunnels.

It was nine days before two British divers, John Volanthen and Richard Stanton, located the group – mercifully alive and apparently in good physical and mental health.

Question:

What connection does the author draw between physiological and psychological reaction to a life threatening incident in Thai cave boys:the psychology of surviving underground

Answer:

The Author, Sarita Robinson,  concludes that the boys and their coach managed to stay both physically and psychologically healthy during the nine long days they spent waiting in the dark and that this is an important factor  which explained their surviving the ordeal underground. The fact that they were a social circle might have contributed to their survival. One person in such an ordeal might not have made it out alive.

She stated that it is not uncommon for one to give up mentally and even die regardless of the opportunities for survival.

This is referred to as Psychogenic Death.

She is of the opinion that they should be closely watched after the ordeal, and if after a period of watchful waiting psychologists are still concerned, then psychiatric care can be offered.

Cheers!

Gemiola [76]
<span>QUESTION 1:  B. The narrator’s mental state.

In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the wallpaper symbolizes the narrator’s mental state. The narrator actually once describes the wallpaper has having a look like a broken neck and, too, mentions it looks like it committing suicide. The descriptions of the paper get odder and odder with regard aesthetics to eventually what can be interpreted as crazy, and this parallels the narrator’s steady decline into insanity. Because of this parallel, again, the wallpaper can certainly be said to symbolize the narrator’s mental state.

QUESTION 2: B. Feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape.

The narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” projects her own feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape onto the woman creeping behind the wallpaper. As the story progresses, the narrator becomes less and less content with her status within the house/room with the yellow paper. As the story progresses, she begins to see a woman in the wallpaper behind what appear to her as bars. Thus, because the narrator desires to escape her situation as does the woman behind the bars in the wallpaper, it can be said that the woman she sees is a projection of feeling of being trapped and desire to escape.</span>

To analyze tone, the reader should study word choice, which is also called context. diction. inversion. nuance.
lutik1710 [3]

The correct answer is diction.


Diction refers to the choice of words and phrases an author uses when writing. The diction used in a text or story tells us about the tone or attitude of the writer. Diction can be formal, informal, serious, playful, and so on. An example of formal diction would be: "Kindly revert back at the earliest possible convenience." Whereas, informal/playful diction would be: "I can't wait for your reply!"
