Gothic fiction is a type of literature that combines horror, death, and sometimes romance. In the excerpt from "The Mysterious Stranger," the reader is reminded of the presence of evil in the story.

On page 4 why does the author refer to the underground passages filled with boiling water as the geysers plumbing system
Finger [1]

Answer:

Water travels through the passages in a manner that is similar to water flowing through pipes in a plumbing system.

Explanation:

In the passage, the author has compared the geysers' plumbing system with the underground water-filled boiling water as the movement of the water in passages are similar to the course of water through pipes in the plumbing systems.

The writer in this passage is talking about the fickleness of the geysers. The writer supports it by saying that this fickleness is because of the frequent changes that an underground passage goes through, which is filled with boiling water.

<u>The current of water in both the passages and the pipes are similar, this is why the writer used the reference of 'geysers plumbing system.'</u>

Thus the correct answer is the second option.

What distinguishes literary nonfiction from traditional nonfiction?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: D. Characterization

Literary nonfiction (also known as creative nonfiction, narrative nonfiction or verfabula) is a type of writing that uses various literary techniques in order to create historically accurate narratives. It is written with florid language and for entertainment, which is different from other types of non-fiction writing such as journalism.

Literary nonfiction still retains biographical and historical data, and it tries to maintain factual accuracy. It does not contain supernatural elements, as it is still a form of nonfiction. However, it does rely on characterization for entertainment and to make the story more engaging.
