The Answer is: The original sentence has the ambiguous pronoun "he", which <em>is no</em>t <em>clear</em> who he is refering to: Hunter or Tanner? "while <em>'who'</em> was waiting for his guitar lesson?" The revised sentence <em>improved by repeating</em> the name Tanner, <em>which helps to make clear that it was Tanner and not Hunter who is represented by the pronoun "he".</em>

The writings of James Baldwin and Zora Neale Hurston express different perspectives on black culture in America because _____.
bogdanovich [222]
We can use process of elimination to work out what the best answer is to this question. To fully answer it, however, it is helpful to make sure you know who each author is and what they are famous for. Both are African American writers that wrote about race and inequality.

For choice A, while they were born in different parts of the United States, that does not mean they were born in different cultures, so this is not the best choice.

For choice B, this is very true. Hurston focused mainly on the woman's role while Baldwin focused on the man's. This is a good choice for this question.

For choice C, we would need to see a more in depth excerpt or do research to fully determine if this is the best answer, but from what I know about the authors and looking over their biographies, it's safe to say that they had very similar ideas about racism in America.

For choice D, they both explore painful topics because they are exploring what racism and inequality is in general in America. Because of this, this choice is not the best answer.

Based on our elimination, choice B is the best option here.

Read the excerpt below from the poem “Ulalume” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows.
Deffense [45]
Alliteration: "<span> as the scoriac Rivers that Roll— As the lavas that Restlessly Roll" (the 'r' sound is being repeated at the beginnings of words)
</span><span>
assonance: "</span><span>In the ultimate climes of the pOle— That grOan as they rOll dOwn MOunt Yaanek In the realms of the bOreal pOle" (the vowel sound "o" is repeated throughout the words) 
</span><span>
consonance: "o</span><span>f CypreSS, with PSyche, my Soul" (the consonant "s" sound is repeated at the beginning and ends of words)

These sound devices have a sing-songy effect on the poem which helps create the mystical and mysterious mood. It almost lulls the reader into a type of trance through the memory of the narrator. 
</span><span>
imagery: "</span><span>As the lavas that restlessly roll Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek" 
</span>
This strong imagery helps to bring the memories to life for the reader  and helps the reader relate to the mindset and the emotions of the narrator by providing images to compare them to. Comparing his heart bursting to the way lava flows down the side of a mountain creates a strong image.
