Answer:

b) The speaker and the reader wait again to find out what is making the noise.

Explanation:

The poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe is a dramatic monologue of the speaker who was interrupted at night by a knocking sound. Told from a scholarly young man's perspective, the poem addresses his change in mood as the poem progresses.

The given excerpt in the question is from the sixth stanza of the poem when the knocking came for the second time. But when he opens the door, it was nothing, no one at the door. The stanza contributes to the suspense of the poem for both the speaker and the readers aren't sure of who is behind the knocking. And both have to wait to find out the source of the noise.

Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1: The first sentence lists specific conditions followed by what might eventually happen.

3: The second sentence starts with the expression “for this reason.”

4: The second sentence lists potential consequences of the situation described.

Explanation:

"The Prince" (1532) is a political treatise by Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) who was an  Italian diplomat, politician, historian, and political philosopher.

The Chapter 5 of the book is "Conquered Free States, with their own laws and orders"

Option 1 might or might not be a cause-and-effect structure. It might not necessarily be cause-and-effect structure. Two events happening one after and other does not show that the first one is the cause and the second one effect. But, it is also true that in cause-and-effect structure one event (result) happens followed by another event.

Option 3 is correct because it clearly shows a cause-and-effect structure <u>(for this reason).</u>

Option 4 is correct because the events stated in the second sentence are the consequences (effect/result) of the situations described in the first sentence.

Option 2 is not cause-and-effect structure. "On the one hand" and "on the other hand" is used to describe two parallel and contrasting ideas. Hence, it is a contrasting structure.

Option 5 is not a cause-and-effect structure because the phrase <em>"citizen of the conquered city"</em> in no way shows the cause and effect of any situation

Papessa [141]

<u>Answer:</u>

Imagery has been vividly used in this excerpt. The light and dark have been used in symbolizing the good and evil things in that order Gandalf is the white that stands for good deeds. When Galadriel gives Frodo the Phial, this symbolizes the light that came during the darkest time.

The black rider stood for evils and everything that Mordor had covered with the blackness of shadowy. Each time Naqul passed near the overhead, the sun and moon became black.
