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.

Which lines from the text best help to develop the theme that people who have little in common can become friends?
Mariana [72]

The answers are:

"Jordyn the jock was not as bad as I thought she would be when I first learned we’d been paired to lead the cabin of eight-year-olds."

"By the second week of camp, I realized I actually liked Mariah a lot more than I’d expected to."

The lines help to develop the theme that people who have little in common can become friends because both caracters admit that they have made previous judgements before getting to know each other. However, after sharing and going through certain circumstances, they realize that they actually like each other.

Explain how the way Charlie’s character changes makes the plot go in a circle. Think about where Charlie starts and where he end
HACTEHA [7]

If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle.  For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle.  There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.
