Answer:

“It was as though madness had infected all of us.”

Explanation:

A mad person cannot be held responsible for his or her actions, so by saying that 'madness had infected' all of them, the author is trying to justify their binding and gagging Mrs. Schachter because the situation was really intolearble for all of the prisoners.  

"Our terror could no longer be contained. Our nerves had reached a breaking point. Our very skin was aching. It was as though madness had infected all of us. We gave up."

Directions: Please answer the following questions in paragraphs of 4-5 sentences each.

I think it isn’t a fair law because teenagers sometimes don’t know what they are doing, and also they should consider their age because they are not adults, they are teens so they are still discovering the world around them, and we are in the 21st century, we are not back into history, so that is why it isn’t a fair law.

Being grown up means a lot of responsibilities that some teens don’t have, and for me that’s putting a lot of pressure on them, also they shouldn’t be treating them like adults because they are kids, who should focus on their education and not that much on life problems.

Hope this helps

Identify each selected word or phrase as a sensory detail or a vivid verb. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the
4vir4ik [10]

This question is incomplete. Its full version is:

On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.  

Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?

  1. Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
  2. A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
  3. A simile creates a visual image for the reader.
  4. Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch

Answer:

The right answer is option 4.

Explanation:

IMAGERY: it is figurative language used to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. E.g. Time is slipping through my fingers.

In this excerpt, taken from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller, the answer that best describes the imagery is option number four "sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch".
