Answer:

If your excerpt is "He wandered far from the accustomed haunts of boys...", the correct answers are: B (desperate), H (annoyed), and J (distressed).

Explanation:

Tom is <u>desperate because he has been wrongfully accused and punished by Aunt Polly</u>. But we don't even need to know the context; the excerpt itself shows Tom's despair ("sought desolate places that were in harmony with his spirit", "contemplated the dreary vastness of the stream"). He feels so desperate that he imagines drowning and visualizes Becky mourning him.

He is also <u>annoyed with the injustice that had taken place</u>, and he feels that the world is cold and hollow. Naturally, he is <u>distressed and dramatic like a proper teenager</u>, exaggerating the meaning and importance of this small event.

Which of the following is a key reason to include allusions in a literary work?
Shalnov [3]

Option C is a key reason to include allusions in a literary work: to broaden the context and deepen the meaning of a literary work.

An allusion is a figure of speech that may refer to a place, person, or event. This can be real or imaginary and may make reference to anything, including fiction, folklore, historical events, or religious manuscripts. The reference can be direct or can be inferred, and can broaden the reader's understanding.

Identify examples of the following rhetorical strategies in paragraph 13, and explain their effect___________.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The answers are explained below. Paragraph 13 isn't available.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question asked to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer, for example <em>Is the pope Catholic? </em>or <em>Can fish swim?</em>

Sentence variety refers to varying the length and structure of sentences in a composition to avoid monotony. Pacing is a stylistic device that shows how fast a story unfolds. Both can help the writer add emphasis to a specific part of the composition.

An analogy is a type of comparison between two things, usually to explain something, i.e. "as light as a feather."

An allusion is an expression to call something to mind, but it is not mentioned explicitly, for example, <em>Don't be a Romeo</em>, in reference to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet."

An imperative sentence gives instructions or advice and expresses a suggestion, command, order, or direction. For example <em>Don't do that!</em>
