The correct answer is D) an old fish line hanging from its lip

In Elizabeth Bishop's poem "The Fish," the option that describes the fish's appearance is "an old fish line hanging from its lip."

The other options of the question are A) garbage and debris in its fins. B) a piece of plastic caught in its teeth. C) a fishhook speared through its eye.

Part of the poem that refers to the question goes like this: "I caught a tremendous fish, and held him beside the boat half out of the water, with my hook fast in a corner of his mouth."

Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) was an American poet that traveled around the world and she wrote many poems about her experiences in countries such as France, Italy, Ireland, and Spain.

I liked reading the narrative more, because I think it gives a clearer picture of what Anne was really thinking while she was in hiding. It was fun to see what hiding was like from Anne's perspective rather than from a director and actors on a stage.

How is a root word used to understand a text? It reveals the style of the writer. It alerts the reader that a technical term is
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

It provides the foundation for a word’s meaning.

Explanation:

Let's say, for example, you encountered the word "unhappiness" within a reading text. And, let's say that you had no idea whatsoever what the affixes -un and -ness meant. You would at the very least be able to recognize (a form of) the word 'happy' as the root of the larger word and know that the word had something to do with the concept of "happy."

The man at the gas station gave me directions and then kept on chatting, telling me about the weather to come and places to stay
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Meaning of laconic

It's the style of talking, people who answer in the few brief words. So, in this passage it shows that wife doesn't talk generally, but briefly, since it also says "occasionally correcting him on his lefts and rights", so she didn't really give the directions she just corrected his husband.

What type of rhyme is used in this excerpt from William Butler Yeats's poem "The Municipal Gallery Revisited"? My mediaeval knee
Arlecino [84]
Hello, the answer here would be "slant rhyme". It cannot be a "strict rhyme" because it is not strict, the rhyme changes throughout the poem, it doesn't follow the same scheme. It isn't "internal rhyme" as well, because the words don't rhyme within a single line. It isn't a "double rhyme" because these are all monosyllabic words (one syllable) and for it to be a double rhyme there needs to be at least to syllables in a word. So the only option is "slant rhyme", which isn't exactly rhyming, for example, "dear" and "door" would be considered slant rhyme.
