The literary device used in the excerpt and the short story is theme, option A. Epiphany, a figure of speech in literature, indicates a moment of sudden revelation.  Mrs. Mallard, the protagonist of this piece of work,  realises the fact that freedom, in a society where the concept for a woman is almost impossible, can be within her grasp. Seeing the death of her husband as an advantageous way of leading a new possible life can be considered no less than a crime. The theme of freedom is present, despite the tragic means that carry it.

How is the listener's experience altered when a reader uses fluency strategies and adjusts tone when reading a text
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The listener finds it easier to make sense of the ideas presented in the text.

The listener is more engaged by the text.

The listener better recognizes when different people are quoted within the text.

Explanation:

When you're reading a text aloud and have an audience, it's very important that you're reading fluently - without too many long pauses, stuttering, and similar issues. What is also important is your tone. If you are reading for some time without changing your tone at all, your audience will stop listening. The text you are reading could be the most interesting one, but once it's presented poorly, the listeners will lose all interest.

With fluency and an adjusted tone, it's easier to listen and understand the text and its organization. Quotes are always somehow pointed out within the text, and they should be pointed out when read aloud as well.

So, the correct options are the first, third, and fifth.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The word inconspicuous means not clearly visible, or not obvious. I figured this would be the meaning, considering birds would want to keep hidden from predators, so they would stay somewhere not clear and camouflaged.

40 POINTS FOR BRAINLIEST- In at least 100 words, discuss whether or not Chang succeeds in making the reader understand his feeli
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Chang doesn't succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China. My argument is that; he speaks very little about his life in China by only describing his relationship with his dad in a few lines. The only memories that he carries are those of his father carrying him in his shoulders after supper.

The narrator is more focused on his stay in the new village his family settled in after escaping the war and speaks little about where he came from. This way, he does not succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China.
