Formal diction

Douglass's use of the words "severe trial" and "departure", as well as his sentence structure shows a more formal diction. He is basically saying nothing stopped him from leaving. However, he uses much more formal diction. Imagery is the creation of images in the reader's mind through description. There are no images in the reader's mind from this excerpt. There are also no elements of sentiment in the passage or subjectivity.

Answer:

D. Formal diction

Explanation:

Formal diction is a style of speaking or writing in a polite, and proper manner. This type of diction often contains descriptive, precise and elegant words, and longer sentence and it is totally free of idioms, colloquialism, slang, and contractions. "I found no severe trial in my departure" is an example of this type of diction as it uses more formal and elegant words such as "severe trial" and "departure", instead of saying it a more informal way like: "I had no problems when leaving" or "I left with no trouble".

abruzzese [7]

The answer is:

Portia says that if Brutus were simply sick, he would do something to get better. As his wife and other half, she pleads with him to tell her what is on his mind. Then she inquires about the men who were sneaking around their house.

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Brutus' wife, Portia, seeks to know what is going through his mind. She even kneels down to ask him the reason he seems so unwell and his mind is so troubled, as promises to keep his secret. She is also worried about the men that have come to see him during the night, who are actually Caesar's conspirators.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: The short story by Jerome K Jerome (of Three Men and a Boat fame) called The Dancing Partner, is about a group of young girls who are talking about the fact that none of them can seem to find tgood dancing partners. Overheard by one of the girls' fathers, the man determines that he can build the ideal dancing partner, one who won't complain and will not step on their feet. He creates a dancing partner named Lt. Fritz. But when he is built the girls aren't sure about dancing with him. Finally, one girl does dance with him and realizes that she is enjoying herself. The girl, seeking to dazzle the rest of the dancers, loosens the screw on the mechanical dancer, and he goes faster and faster. At some point it becomes evident that she's passed out. They looked for the maker of the robot, but couldn't find him. Finally, they do find him, but it is too late for the young woman. She is dead. From that day forward the mechanical inventor stuck to making smaller things.
