Identify examples of the following rhetorical strategies in paragraph 13, and explain their effect___________.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The answers are explained below. Paragraph 13 isn't available.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question asked to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer, for example <em>Is the pope Catholic? </em>or <em>Can fish swim?</em>

Sentence variety refers to varying the length and structure of sentences in a composition to avoid monotony. Pacing is a stylistic device that shows how fast a story unfolds. Both can help the writer add emphasis to a specific part of the composition.

An analogy is a type of comparison between two things, usually to explain something, i.e. "as light as a feather."

An allusion is an expression to call something to mind, but it is not mentioned explicitly, for example, <em>Don't be a Romeo</em>, in reference to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet."

An imperative sentence gives instructions or advice and expresses a suggestion, command, order, or direction. For example <em>Don't do that!</em>

Which option was used to revise this ​sentence? Jude followed the​ van, and night was approaching. Night was​ approaching, but J
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Option B.

Moved parts of the sentence around

Explanation:

Let us consider the parts of a complete sentence:

  • The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or performing an action.
  • The verb is the action word in the sentence.
  • The Object is the thing on which the action is performed in a sentence.

We are dealing with two sentences in this question:

1. Jude followed the van

2. Night was approaching

These are two complete sentences with their own subject, verb and object.

They are bound together to form a compound sentence which is "Jude followed the​ van, <em>and</em> night was approaching"

The revised version of the sentence is simply a switch in the positions of the two simple sentences that form the compound sentence. The subject of the sentence was not changed, neither was the object or verb.

This simply means that parts of the compound sentence were moved around. This makes option B the correct answer.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

  • Withdraw

Explanation:

In this story the arrival of a chimney sweep brings a wedding dinner at the lady of the hour's home to an early end.

After the breadth completes, he puts on something else once more, has breakfast, and conveys to the lady of the hour, who is situated outside, an endowment of a little bunch of edelweiss. The family quickly speaks with the breadth after his dinner; at that point he leaves, after which the lady of the hour puts the edelweiss bundle under pictures of her dead relatives.

Reread lines 88-100 what transformation has taken place? What assumptions had you made about the characters that had to be chang
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

<h3>husband would turn into a beast like a werewolf because of the cursed bloodline in the family</h3>

Explanation:

The assumption about the change in the characters which I had made was that the <u>husband would turn into a beast like a werewolf because of the cursed bloodline in the family.</u>

Since no exact detail was given at the beginning of the story about what the husband would look like once changed, I <u>assumed that he would change into a pale beast with large body. </u>

The assumption was inferred upon through these lines "He was white all over then, like a worm’s skin. And he turned his face. It was changing while I  looked, it got flatter and flatter, the mouth flat and wide, and the teeth grinning flat and dull, and the  nose just a knob of flesh with nostril holes, and the ears gone, and the eyes gone blue — blue, with  white rims around the blue — staring at me out of that flat, soft, white face."
