Which excerpt from “Good Country People” is the best example of figurative language? The reason for her keeping them so long was

that they were . . . good country people. If she don’t get there before the dust settles, you can bet she’s dead, that’s all. She would make these statements, usually at the table, in a tone of gentle insistence as if no one held them but her. It was hard for Mrs. Hopewell to realize that her child was thirty-two now and that for more than twenty years she had had only one leg.

The best example of figurative language in the excerpt of "Good Country People" can be found in:

"If she don’t get there before the dust settles, you can bet she’s dead, that’s all."

The author used a figure of speech called hyperbole, which is a deliberate exaggeration used in order to express intensity and effect. The character expresses her concern by emphasizing how serious it will be if her daughter doesn't arrive at a certain place before the dust settles. "...you can bet she's dead"- she says. Pure exaggeration, typical of overly protective parents.

Which sentence best explains how the tone reveals the narrator’s perspective?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A). The narrator is frightened because she is Muslim making a Catholic confession.

Explanation:

The tone is described as the approach or attitude of the author towards a particular subject matter reflected through the choice of words or language employed. It serves to provide the audience with a perspective or viewpoint to consider or look at a particular text and enhances their curiosity to read and evoke the desired feeling or response that the author intends to invoke.

As per the question, the sentence that best reveals how the tone discloses the author's attitude/perspective is displayed through option A as the description 'frightened...Muslim making a Catholic confession' reflects the author's perspective towards portraying the strict religious beliefs and terror associated with it(being declared as a heretic). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
