Read this excerpt from paragraph 7 of “Sixteen” by Maureen Daly and answer the question. You know, to start to skate at a crowde

d rink is like jumping on a moving merry-go-round. Once in, I went all right. At least, after I found out exactly where the rough ice was. It was “round, round, jump the rut, round, round, jump the rut, round, round - .” What is the main effect of the author's use of the figurative language? The rhythmic repeated pattern mimics and enhances the movement of the narrator on the ice. The image of the merry-go-round makes an exaggerated comparison of the circular pattern of the narrator moving on the bumpy ice. The narrator compares the difficulty of entering the ice on skates to jumping on a moving merry-go-round. The description of the ice uses a less offensive term than other words the narrator might have chosen.

What does the line "Britannia droops the pensive head" imply?
iris [78.8K]
I feel like it's implying that, Britannia is in a very very weary deep thought process. 

I mean, droops can be referred to weary, and pensive means thought, or a deep thought. 
However, weary could be tired. This is completely an assumption.

"BRIGHT CITY LIGHTS ARE KEEPING OCEAN PREDATORS AWAKE AND HUNGRY" by Damon Bolton Which statement best describes the central ide
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

'Bright City Lights Are Keeping Ocean Predators Awake and Hungry' is an article written by Damon Bolton. The article talks about the affects of street-lights offshore on sea life.

In his article, Bolton asserts that light pollution has affected the predatory cycle of marine ecosystem. He reported that lights in oceans make prey of seafloor communities more visible to predators such as yellowfin bream and leatherjackets. <u>The artificial lights make sessile invertebrate prey communities more exposed to fish predators during night than day-light, which hampers the marine ecosystem. </u>Thus option D is correct.
