Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. Esther Lobetkin, a recent immigrant, became chairman of her Yiddish-speaking group,

marching with the strikers by day, then rushing to Clinton Hall to report and attend meetings until the small hours of the morning. A sandwich at midnight and an hour of sleep were all she seemed to need. Although she was arrested time and again, she never failed to yell from the back of the patrol wagon, "Do not lose courage! We'll win yet!" Which best states the author's purpose for naming and describing Esther Lobetkin in the text?

Answer:

To bring a person from history to life.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from "We Shall Not Be Moved", the author describes Esther Lobetkin, leader of the strikers and chairman of the<em> "Yiddish-speaking group"</em>. This description allows the readers to get an insight into what she was like.

And by explicitly naming Esther and giving details about her character, work ethic, and the busy schedule she lived, the author allows us to get a sense of what this historical person must be like. This also makes us be familiar and come to understand the person Esther was.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is that this naming and describing of Esther Lobetkin is to bring a historical person to life.</u>

The words chosen to create meaningful dependent clauses are the following ones:

a) Although Marissa likes to bake, she doesn't like to cook (this conjunction is used to make the main statement in a sentence seem surprising)

b) I have an idea that I think you will like (the complementizer introduces the noun-complement clause attached to the noun "idea")

c) If we drive slowly, we will find it (the conjunction used to introduce a conditional clause)

d) French, which we also had last year, is my hardest subject (a relative pronoun, which in this case, introduces a non-essential relative clause)

The poet states that the statue had been destroyed and what were left was its leg and head. But in contrast to that the picture has a full statue with the entire body.

Which sentence from Washington Irving's short story "Rip Van Winkle" is an example of indirect characterization?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The answer is letter D.

Explanation:

Characterization refers to how the characters in a story are represented by telling or showing a certain feature or description of their personalities or characteristics. There are mainly two types of characterization:<em> direct and indirect.</em>

  • Direct Characterization- the writer <em>tells</em> the character's personality by mentioning direct statements. For example: "She was a brilliant girl." In this case, he is directly telling the reader.
  • Indirect Characterization- the writer <em>shows</em> the character's personality by cumulative details. Examples of this are the thoughts of the character, or the way she dresses.

Among the choices above,<u> it is only letter D which shows indirect characterization.</u> <u>The statement shows what the character thinks about working in the farm, according to what he declared.</u>
