Answer:
The correct answers are the following
1. B - [S]ince my photograph was as widely distributed as my publisher could make it, I would find it impossible to move about without being recognized.
2. A - I took one companion on my journey - an old French gentleman poodle known as Charley.
3. D - To enterain people with the unusual sights.
Explanation:
One of the problems noted by John Steinbeck during his roadtrip was precisely that his fame made it almost impossible to move about and to know America at a personal level because he was widely recognized.
Steinbeck travelled with Charley, his wife's 10-year-old French poodle, which he decided to bring with him at the last minute.
In this travelogue, Steinbeck provides descriptions of gorgeous landscapes of America, the country he devoted to know on a personal level. The use of these descriptive elements presents the reader with an unusual sight that keeps him or her engaged with the book.
Answer:
<em>Personification</em>
Explanation:
<em>Personification</em> is a figure of speech where we give human characteristics to inanimate objects.
In the given example we have Butterkist which is a famous British company that produces, among other food, biscuits. The sentence gives us an impression like Butterkist is a real person, a cook, who cooks those biscuits, so in a way, we <em>gave life</em> to the company and that represents personification.
- Diggers, corkscrewing cleanly in, exhilerausted, into the mind mine, impaled on edgeless shafts of subtle reminiscence, green- walking across the belts and ties.
In this sentence, the author uses words such as the "mind mine" and "reminiscence," which imply that the subject of his poem spends a lot of time alone with his thoughts. This lack of company or interaction with others highlight issues of isolation and alienation.
- Slanted dark-walked time, wet with ages of dryness, Raga of insignificance & blessed hopelessness.
"Dark-walked time," "ages of dryness," "insignificance" and "hopelessness" allude to the lack of <em>presence</em> of the subject. It also points to feeling small and unimportant. Loneliness often has these effects (feeling insignificant, feeling like there is no purpose to existence, not being present in the moment). Therefore, the sentence reiterates the suffering of alienation and isolation.
Answer: Colin's evidence is not relevant to his claim<u> because it is about flying drones being a sport, not about privacy issues.</u>
Explanation: Colin's evidence is not related to his main claim, that is to say the assertion that drones do not invade people's privacy<u>. Instead of focusing on providing evidence that supports the idea that drones do not affect people's privacy negatively, Colin offers evidence related to the thought that flying drones is a sport </u>by stating that coordination and technical skills are necessary to fly drones. Therefore, it can be said that his argument lacks strength because it has not been properly supported.
