Read the excerpt from "Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?” But I didn’t sleep. I thought about how utterly miserable it would feel to mes

s up on stage, plus get a vile grade in English class, plus watch Allison gloat. I got up before my alarm went off, arrived at school early, and slogged through the day like a sleepwalker. Finally the last bell chimed. "Ready?” Shondra asked, when we were alone again in the spare classroom. We had two hours until we had to meet our teacher backstage. Which statement best describes how the pacing of events heightens tension? The slow pace highlights how exhausted the narrator was on her big day. The slow pace gives the narrator time to carefully plot out her next move. The fast pace intensifies the conflict between the narrator and Allison. The fast pace increases the narrator’s urgency in learning her lines.

Answer:

The fast pace intensifies the conflict between the narrator and Allison.

Explanation:

The pace of a text refers to how quickly an author moves from one event to the next. In this passage, we can see that the pace is fast because the author describes the protagonist's night and most of the day in very few words. However, the protagonist tells us that she does not want to see Allison gloat. This indicates that there is some conflict between the speaker and Allison. Therefore, we can conclude that the fast pace is intended to intensify the conflict between the narrator and Allison.

Sir Gawain who was the nephew of King Arthur and one of his best and most loyal knights who prided himself on being chivalrous. He was the hero on a quest but by the end of the quest he was a humbled man who did not believe that he can ever be the man he wished to be.

Read the excerpt from Ernest Lawrence Thayer’s “Casey at the Bat.” Which line most clearly establishes that it’s a narrative poe
Cloud [144]

Answer:

"A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game"

Explanation:

Something pall is something dark, gloomy, related to sadness and death. This shows conflict as the narrator is describing a match in which everything could be defined by the last inning. "we'd put up even money now, with Casey at the bat". "clung to the hope...". That moment will be defined by the outcome of that last inning. That's why a "pall-like" silence fell upon the patrons of the game. Because everything will be defined after.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. (please select one of the options in parentheses, each possible answer has "
LuckyWell [14K]

The correct answer from each drop-down menu are the following ones:

The article "The Melting Arctic" attempst to win over public opinion by making use of persuasive techniques. One such technique is the use of <u>scientific data ,</u> which relies on proofs, graphs, and charts. The article also relies on <u>expert opinion,</u> which involves the endorsement of an idea or opinion by a renowned professional in that particular field.

In contrast, the NOAA video uses visuals of animals to appeal to the viewer's <u>emotions.</u> It makes <u>passionate</u> claims about the worsening Arctic conditions and the adverse effects they have on animal life.

The linking word "in contrast" indicates that what is about to be introduced should be the opposite to whas has been said. Consequently, as the first paragraph talks about scientific data, the second one should appeal to the opposite of that, that is, emotions and beliefs. "Passionate" is the only adjective in the examples that has a positive connotation that can be put together with the first option ("emotions").
