The correct answer is imagery.

Figurative language is a simile or metaphor -- neither is used here. An allusion is a reference to a well-known person, place, or thing; an allusion is not used here. Parallelism is using similar grammatical structures and does not appear here.

Imagery is a description that appeals to any of the five senses, but especially the visual sense. In this passage, Baldwin is clearly describing the slap (which we can see and hear in our mind) of the child, the pain which reverberates through heaven -- we can visualize this pain reaching out into heaven and embedding itself in the universe.

Due to the visual power of these words, the correct answer is C.

5. Analyze the claim the author makes about distracted teenage behaviors and evaluate whether the evidence used to support this
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

After realizing a trial with green and red circles, where the participants had to find a correct target in order to obtain a reward, Zachary Rooper and his team announced that the attention of adolescents is related to rewarding information.  

<em>Once the  teenage brain has linked a behavior to that reward, it continues to seek the reward again and again.   That’s why teens are likely to opt for the reward of social media when they should be studying. Or why  they respond to texts while driving. </em>

Explanation:

This evidence cannot be sufficient to support his statement that teenage brains are constantly seeking to reward. Teenage distractions and lack of attention could be related to their studying habits and their interests, not with the rewards they are expecting from social media websites. Although the rewarding system can motivate middle school and high school students, it should not be related to another habit in their life. It's true that many parents reward their children for achieving good results at school, but their concentration is also related to their personality, study habits, etc.

Therefore, Rooper's statement could be partially applied to the teenage population, but it shouldn't determine their behavior, as some of these behaviors are related to their age and the essential period of their development.

Read Isaiah 53:11. Select the best description.
natka813 [3]

The answer is C

The whole verse looks like this:

<em>(Isaiah 53:11 According to New International Version (NIV)) </em>

<em>11 After he has suffered, </em>

<em>he will see the light of life[a] and be satisfied[b]; </em>

<em>by his knowledge[c] my righteous servant will justify many, </em>

<em>and he will bear their iniquities. </em>

For the first line: This phrase describes all his pain and sufferings he has experienced during his passion on the cross. Christ has died for us. Even he is the Son of God, he did not escaped death, which will also happen to all of us. Death is a punishment for us because we sinned as a person. Christ has become a person that's why he also experienced it. In spite of death and all his wounds and pain he has experienced, he realized the positivities from all of those.  

For the second line: Meaning he will see the good side of those sufferings. It means, after death, we will live again but this time, our spirits will have everlasting life, no more sufferings, no more deaths, no more sickness which can provide every body spiritual satisfaction.  Christ has lived on the 3rd day of his death.

For the third line: Christ is often recognized as the Son of God, therefore, he is always the righteous one. He is holy and almost equal as God the Father. Because the Father has sent him to us, to become an example and to inspire us to follow his commandments and live to his words and teachings, if we accept these all, then we are justified and saved.  We will never get lost.

As for the last line: Since Jesus justified and corrected us by bearing our sins and dying for us, if we are willing to accept the same outlook, commandments and beliefs like him, then he will happily bear and carry all our misdeeds. But that doesn't mean that we will not die later on. We will still experience death, but this time, we will be saved.
