Answer:

<em>D.)</em><em> to illustrate the destruction of granny's dream. </em>

Explanation:

When expressing something through symbolism, the author tries to imply something through abstract representation, there is a focus on what emotions or ideas the symbols used, and what they convey in the reader. In this case, the smoke is used to illustrate negativity in that memory and contrasts that negativity with the fields planted, therefore it is establishing that it negatively impacted that drEam.

Which option was used to revise this ​sentence? Jude followed the​ van, and night was approaching. Night was​ approaching, but J
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Option B.

Moved parts of the sentence around

Explanation:

Let us consider the parts of a complete sentence:

  • The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or performing an action.
  • The verb is the action word in the sentence.
  • The Object is the thing on which the action is performed in a sentence.

We are dealing with two sentences in this question:

1. Jude followed the van

2. Night was approaching

These are two complete sentences with their own subject, verb and object.

They are bound together to form a compound sentence which is "Jude followed the​ van, <em>and</em> night was approaching"

The revised version of the sentence is simply a switch in the positions of the two simple sentences that form the compound sentence. The subject of the sentence was not changed, neither was the object or verb.

This simply means that parts of the compound sentence were moved around. This makes option B the correct answer.

1. Paragraph 3 of "The Refusal” contains
Ad libitum [116K]

The setting affects the characters leaving them apathetic and resigned to the way they live, which makes them accept everything that the capital decides.

"The Refusal" is a story written by Franz Kafka, where we are introduced to a small town, where all citizens have their lives planned and established by the standards determined by the capital.

In the third paragraph of this story, we can see an apathetic setting, without many highlights and which does not express proactivity. This scenario affects citizens, leaving them as apathetic and resigned to the environment around them. This is because:

  • The city does not present anything new and exciting.
  • Everything the setting presents is determined by the capital and is presented as correct.
  • The scenery is boring and motionless.
  • This reinforces the idea that residents are affected in a tedious way, making them not bother with how they live, but rather satisfied with a limited life and without expressiveness.

In this case, we can conclude that the scenario affects the characters, making them submissive to the capital's will and not wishing to change that, as they are used to the monotony with which they live.
