Answer:

The correct answers are The stanzas feature a simple end-rhyme scheme.

and The lines alternate between iambic tetrameter and trimeter.

Explanation:

Regardless of what the excerpt is, <u>two of the characteristics of ballads</u> are that their language is simple, especially in old traditional ballads and that ballad stanzas have four lines, which rhyme in <em>abcb</em>. The goal is to form a rhyme between the second and fourth lines.

Another feature is that the ballad lines are altered between iambic tetrameter and trimeter. Originally, <u>ballads were expected to be lyrics with music for dancing</u>, that's why rhymes are so marked.

The fact that iambic tetrameter and trimeter are used implies that they were written in quartets with a regular ABCB rhyming scheme.

Currently, the meaning of ballad is used to refer to any slow love song.

The basic components of an ex nihilo creation story are below. The first sentence of the story is provided. Complete the ex nihi
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The numbers used in parentheses are from the order of the sentences in the question part. The sentences are arranged properly as following;

1 (1) A long time ago, there was nothing but darkness. 2 (2) God pointed at the darkness and uttered a command. 3 (4) Suddenly from the darkness emerged a bright, translucent sphere hanging in midair. 4 (8) Inside the sphere sat God, creator of everything. 5 (6)The bright light from the sphere fell on the vast expanse of water. 6 (5) Within the sphere was an animal. 7 (3) The animal dived into the water and brought up a small piece of mud, which started expanding. 8 (7) This action led to the creation of Earth.

Explanation:

<em>"Ex nihilo"</em> is a Latin phrase meaning "out of nothing". It figuratively means that God created the cosmos out of nothing.

First sentence is the beginning of the story as shown by the traditional starting phrase <em>"A long time ago"</em>

The second sentence tells us what happened to the darkness (given a command by God). It is also important to note the use of article "<em>the"</em> before "darkness", since it has been mentioned before.

The third sentence tells us what happened as the result of the command. (Note the use of article "a" before sphere).

The fourth sentence tells more about the sphere and uses "the" before "sphere". It also mentions God.

The fifth sentence tells about the bright light (light of God).

The sixth sentence introduces animal using article "an".

The seventh sentence tells us what the animal did (use of "the" before "animal").

The eighth and last sentence concludes the story with the creation of Earth.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A). “You are not communicating well to me.”

Explanation:

Conflicts are demonstrated as the clash or disagreement with the opposing forces. Conflict resolution process, as the title suggests intends to resolve the conflicts by reaching a common conclusion.

As per the question, the statement that would be pertinent to define the problem during the conflict resolution process is displayed through option A as it reveals that the person is unable to understand what is being communicated which is the key reason for the conflict. Therefore, it would  assist in clarifying the disparity and help look for the obstacles that are preventing to reach the common goal and lead to a common resolution. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer. The other options merely state an opinion or perception.
