The sensory details in the excerpt evoke a sense of...:


...awe and wonder.


There's description of mysterious lights, as well as flares and sparks. The adjective choices show awe and wonder: great, dead white, intense, white-hot, brilliant... Plus, there is a quite meaningful direct comparison here: "it seemed as though anything caught in their range would be made still, like figures in a game of living statues." The fact the author talks about "living statues" also shows awe and wonder.

During the conflict resolution process, which of the followings statements would be appropriate when defining the problem?
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.

In the poem “Afterwards,” Hardy uses figurative language, including euphemism, to develop meaning and tone. What is the meaning
Ne4ueva [31]
In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.

Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").

The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.

Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."
