Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The idea that has been suggested through using the word 'grace' is that there are moments of grace; unearned and undeserved, around us that we need to observe.

Explanation:

"The Hermit's Story" is a short story written by Rick Bass. The story is about the magical world.

It is evident in most of Rick's story that people found grace in the elements of earth, sky, water, etc.

In "The Hermit's Story" as well, people found grace in elements such as water, animals, etc.

<u>The idea that the author wants to suggest using this word is that there are moments of grace around us, only we need to observe them. The author wants to convey that just like there was a magical world beneath the ice surface, there's is a magical and essential things beneath the surface of the body, that is soul</u>.

A persuasive speech is there to persuade people to do something. In this case, the narrator wants to persuade kids to read more. A is incorrect because that is not persuasive; B is incorrect because it is too early for these kids to listen to such a speech; D is incorrect because again, you are not persuading them to do anything.</span>
