Lake Pitch is the world's largest natural asphalt site, which is estimated to contain 10 million tons. It is located in La Brea in the southwest of Trinidad, within the Siparia Regional Corporation. The lake covers about 100 acres and is reported to be 250 feet deep. [1]
Pitch Lake is a popular tourist attraction, including a small museum, from where official tour guides can accompany people across the lake. The lake is extracted from asphalt by Lake Asphalt of Trinidad and Tobago.
This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.
Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?
- Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
- A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
- A simile creates a visual image for the reader.
- Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch
Answer:
The right answer is option 4.
Explanation:
IMAGERY: it is figurative language used to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. E.g. Time is slipping through my fingers.
In this excerpt, taken from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller, the answer that best describes the imagery is option number four "sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch".
The passage best shows how the conflict in the story is resolved (as it kind of has that feeling). Therefore, the passage is from the resolution.
Nibbles crept Quietly across the carpet towards the open door and slowly sneaked through while no one was looking. 2. gently Sue edged over the ice as she talked silently to her dog clinging to a tree. 3. Eliot’s car skidded noisily across the road as it went out of control and the others watched promptly . 4. Yesterday they quickly ate their dinner so they could get to the concert immediately. 5. The birds flew easily towards the cliff top and sat comfortably on a ledge.
From Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales excerpt that contradicts the claim made in the third line that the prioress speaks fluent French is "For French of Paris was not hers to know."
In the General prologue, Chaucer satirizes several characters from various classes and professions. Beginning with the highest class to lower. The first character whom Chaucer introduces is the Prioress who is a nun. She is the first among the female to be described, the first question that evokes in the reader's mind is that such higher religious clergy doesn't take a vow of leading a simple life? Hence, Chaucer satirizes the church, as the members of the church belonged from the upper class. The prioress took advantage from the poor for her own good. She was very well '<em>dainty</em>' and was well-dressed. Being known as <em>"Madame Eglantyne"</em>, she was so pretentious that she hardly knew any words of French.
