Read the passage from the Houston Chronicle about air quality in Houston in 2019. “I’m surprised and disturbed that Houston’s air quality worsened in this year’s [American Lung Association ‘State of the Air’] report,” said Luke Metzger, director of Environment Texas. “The trend since 1999 had been one of steady progress and instead now it seems we are backtracking and that’s bad news particularly for the hundreds of thousands of people who have asthma or other vulnerable populations like senior citizens. . . .”
Current models estimate that more than 60 percent of ozone pollution is from cars, according to Raun, and to address that, the city is trying to encourage practices such as the use of mass transit and transitioning to fuel-efficient or low-emission vehicles.
How is Houston trying to combat increasing ozone pollution?
by raising taxes on vulnerable populations
by increasing access to health care
by encouraging use of mass transit
by prohibiting the sale of new cars
The correct answers are: the ability to embark on a challenging journey, strength and courage.
Indeed, since there is no battle in this excerpt, that particular characteristic of the epic hero convention is not met by this passage. However, the other three are quite clear; Gilgamesh and his god friend are able to complete a thousand miles travel on foot in 3 days, which means they are strong. Gilgamesh climbs to the mountain summit, which means that he is also courageous since most people would be terrified of such height. Finally, the fact that they embark on a long journey is also one of the most important parts of Epic heroic convention since epic heroes are always supposed to face an epic, initiate quest that will test his resolve and force him to face dangers and trials which he will overcome.
I think it's A. Allusion. By using allusion, you refer to other people, places, or things. Terza Rima is a rhyming scheme, I believe. contrapasso is a belief that the punishment should fit the sin. Anaphora is the act of replacing a word in a sentence to avoid repetition. So I believe that A. Allusion would be the right choice :)
Answer:
All of the above.
Explanation:
The short narrative story "The Circuit" by Francisco Jimenez tells the story of how a Spanish working family had to move from one place to another in search of work. Narrated from the point of view of the younger son Panchito, the whole story revolves around how he viewed and feels about his family's life.
Throughout the story, the narrator used the first person narrative voice, constantly using "I", "We" etc which all suggests that the whole story is only from is own perspective. His thoughts and approaches, his feelings and ideas and opinions take over the narration, from his own point of view.
