Your question is missing the options that would allow us to answer properly. After looking it up online, I found these two similar questions. They phrase the sentence just a bit differently, but the message is the same. The options vary, but the correct option is the same for both:
Glen had __________ opportunities to show how __________ he was for being rude to me, but he never even apologized.
brazen...pragmatic
<u>ample...contrite</u>
ostentatious...callous
enigmatic...congenial
Despite having __________ opportunities to show how __________ he felt for being rude to me, Glen never apologized.
perfidious … stoic
deliberate … eloquent
irrevocable … morose
<u>
ample … contrite</u>
Answer:
Glen never demonstrated to me that he was <u>contrite</u> for having been so rude, though he did have <u>ample</u> opportunities to do so.
Explanation:
It is common for a person who has been rude or has done something wrong to feel remorse, guilt, or regret after doing so. In this case, Glen was rude, he felt remorse about it, but he never apologized even though he had plenty of opportunities to do it. The best words to complete the sentence are, therefore, contrite and ample. Contrite means remorseful, full of regret, while ample means enough, plenty, abundant with something.
Hyperbole I think. Because it says he was quaking from head to foot, so sounds like he’s scared. So the hyperbole that means his eyes are wide with fear seems to make sense.
Answer:
The context clue for the word diaphanous can be categorized as <u>comparison</u>.
Explanation:
As we know, context clues are, as the name suggests, clues or hints a writer gives to help readers understand the meaning of certain words or expressions. In the sentence, "The curtains in the house were diaphanous like a piece of clean glass," we have an adjective that is quite uncommon, diaphanous. What the author does, then, is he/she compares the diaphanous curtains to something else as a means of eliciting what being diaphanous means. In this case, the comparison happens by the use of simile, a figure of speech which compares two different things by using support words ("as" or "like"). It is very common for writers to use metaphors as comparison context clues as well.
From the comparison context clue given by the author, we can assume that diaphanous means clear, translucent.
Answer:
<em>When an author makes a </em><u><em>claim</em></u><em>, (s)he is stating something which might or might not be true. It must be argued. Example: Mary wrote, "I am the best musician in the school."</em>
Explanation:
A claim is an assertion an author or speaker makes to tell something is true but without providing evidence or proof about it, so other people might not believe it because it may be false.
The tone of Emily’s speeches in Act III are generally regretful, sad, and sometimes urgent, while Simon Stinson’s tone is rather bitter. In her speech she describes her regret not being in her grave, representing the idea of <span>ignorance and blindness of the people's world. Simon Stinson expresses annoying reaction, but he approves her words and sharply replies that now she understands how cruel and unfair is the world.</span>
