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.
I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek
Walcott, which is as follows:
With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings,
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.
So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the
riot was somewhat inevitable.
To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one
year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.
Answer and explanation:
Animal Farm was not an initial success in Britain because of the critics it represented. The author, George Orwell, wrote it during the Second World War. In the novel <u>Orwell criticizes soviet leader Iósif Stalin and Russian’s totalitarianism.</u> During that time, Britain and Russia were allies and no one wanted to be attached to a criticism of Russia.
In addition, George Orwell was a Trotskyist, which emphasized that he did not support Stalin. Publishers did not take that risk and rejected the novel.
In 1945 the novel was finally published by Frederic Warburg, but it was not known by the public until late 1950s.
I believe this is the correct answer:
<span><em>So before a battle begins, the horses paw the ground; toss their heads; the light shines on their flanks; their necks curve. So Peter Walsh and Clarissa, sitting side by side on the blue sofa, challenged each other.
</em>I would choose that particular paragraphs because the metaphor is slightly unusual there - two kids, Clarissa and Peter Walsh (when they were young) are being compared to horses, which is not really a common occurrence. <em>
