Which describes the narrator's perspective in Shania's Diary?

miss Akunina [59]

Answer: C) first person point of view

Explanation: The first person point of view describes the narrator's perspective in Shania's diary because Shania relates her own story i.e the story was told from Shania's perspective. To justify this, we often see the words; "I, Me, We, Us" (grammatical first person) been used. Shania spoke alot about her self in the diary and also the events she experienced.

Questions 1–9: Identify the conjunctions in the following sentences. Label each one as coordinating, correlative, or subordinati

mario62 [17]

1. I left my car at the garage, but (coordinating) I will pick it up tonight.

2. Andrews and (coordinating) McMilan were the first two engineers at the company.

3. I will take our visitors to the theater, provided that (subordinating) you buy the tickets.

4. Commuting may get bad because either (correlative) rain or (correlative) snow is expected tonight. (Either and Or are correlative conjunctions.)

5. The Barkers will be pleased if (subordinating) their dinner is a success.

6. We won't have the manuals on time unless (subordinating) we get them to the printer tomorrow morning.

7. Both (correlative) typewriters and (correlative) word processors are needed in many offices. (Both and And are correlative conjunctions.)

8. Richard will come early since (subordinating) he has to set up his projection equipment.

9. Rose will attend the conference, although (subordinating) she will arrive late.

Coordinating conjunctions connect words and groups of words

For example:

I want to be a teacher or a singer.

Or is a coordinating conjunction because it connects the nouns "teacher" and "singer"

Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions. Like coordinating conjunctions, they connect words and groups of words.

For example:

A marine biologist's work seems neither easy nor monotonous.

Neither and Nor are correlative conjunctions because they connect the adjectives "easy" and "monotonous."

A subordinate conjunction performs two functions within a sentence. First, it illustrates the importance of the independent clause. Second, it provides a transition between two ideas in the same sentence. The transition always indicates a place, time, or cause and effect relationship.

For example:

We looked in the metal canister, where Ginger often hides her candy.

Where is a subordinating conjunction because it describes the place Ginger often hides her candy. "Where" does Ginger often hide her candy? In the metal canister.

Hope this helps!!

Read the excerpt from “A Visit from the Goon Squad.” Scotty climbed onto the platform and sat on the stool. Without a glance at

BlackZzzverrR [31]

To answer this question, we first have to clarify some terms.

A frame story occurs when a story is told within a story. For example, in the movie "The Princess Bride," the story is told by a grandfather telling a story to his grandson. The story he tells is about the Princess Bride. The above excerpt does not have a frame structure. As a result, option B. can be eliminated.

A flashback occurs when a segment of the story goes back in time. For example, if the narrator is in the middle of a scene and then thinks about a time from his childhood, that is a flashback. However, in this excerpt from the novel, all of the action is occurring in the present. As a result, option D. can be eliminated.

That leaves options A. and C. It is clear the narration is occurring in chronological order. However, is that the best answer? To decide, look closely at what is happening in the scene.

The narrator is doing two things here. First, the narrator describes Scotty's actions. Second, the narrator is commenting on them. For example: He begins to play a song, but then the narrator switches to commentary and describes the song's "gushy metallic complexity." Scotty plays two more songs, and the narrator comments "their amplification was fine." This format continues throughout the selection.

Therefore, the best answer to this question is option A: Multiple switches are used between the action and commentary.

Identify each selected word or phrase as a sensory detail or a vivid verb. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the

4vir4ik [10]

This question is incomplete. Its full version is:

On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.

Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?

Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
A simile creates a visual image for the reader.
Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch

Answer:

The right answer is option 4.

Explanation:

IMAGERY: it is figurative language used to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. E.g. Time is slipping through my fingers.

In this excerpt, taken from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller, the answer that best describes the imagery is option number four "sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch".
