Read the excerpt from Midsummer by Derek Walcott. With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race

to extinction like the roar of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses; they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature, being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun. Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable. The speaker thinks that the riot should have happened in the fall. The speaker thinks that the riot was entirely preventable.

Read the excerpt from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe".
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The statement that best describes how the pace of the excerpt creates tension is: Pyramus’s long speech slows the pace to prolong suspense.

The speech, describing Pyramus's thoughts on her death and how guilty he feels about it, even going so far as to wish and call for his own death at the teeth of lions, creates tension by making the suspense of what will happen next last longer.

Which meaning of influence best defines the word as it is used in this sentence?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Option C

The ability to have an effect on the behavior, character, or actions of someone else

Explanation:

The word influence has quite a number of meanings which may vary based on the context which it is used.

We can analyse the situation presented in the problem statement "Dara could influence my decision to vote for Joy in the student body election " to find the meaning based on this context.

We understand that the influence used here most likely means that Dara can affect the choice I make for a candidate during the election. If this happens it means that Dara can affect my behaviour, character or action, as regards to taking a decision during the election.

This makes option C the most appropriate answer
