This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Goemon jumped up. "Agreed," he said, jamming his "knife" into his sash and slashing at Manjiro’s "sword." Their imaginary swords clashed and clattered as they lunged or leaped aside to avoid being hit. Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace?
A. "imaginary" and "aside"
B. "sash" and "swords"
C. "slashing" and "lunged"
D. "Goeman" and "Manjiro"
Answer:
The words that contribute most to the excerpt's pace are C. "slashing" and "lunged".
Explanation:
<u>When we think of pace, we think of rhythm, of moving fast, slow, with regularity, with cadence, etc. </u>The words an author uses help readers feel the pace of what is being described more intensely. <u>If the characters are acting or moving fast, or if conflicts are developing slowly, the only way for readers to visualize that is through the author's word-choice. In the case of the excerpt we are studying here, we can say the writer establishes a fast pace through the use of the words "slashing" and "lunged". Both words imply rapidity of movement, celerity, quickness and, for that reason, has the readers imagining the scene in a vivid, accelerated manner.</u>
Answer:
The difficulty faced by Miller while writing 'The Crucible' was that he lacked the quality to describe mildly the environment of witchcraft trial and relate it to the Communist trials.
Explanation:
'Why I Wrote The Crucible: An Artist's Answer to Politics' is an essay written by Arthur Miller. The essay was written with a purpose to bring to notice the reason why Miller penned down play 'The Crucible' in the face of Communists trials.
In paragraph 11, Miller states that during the time of Communist trials, many writers were becoming so imaginable like McCarthy and Miller that they presented the situation through their writings and plays.
<u>When Miller states, that for him writing about witchcraft trials at the time of Communists trials was an act that lacks the tool. Miller states that he lacked the tool of presenting and relating both the trials mildly so that he may not present himself as a Communist party or non-Communist party.</u>
