Answer:

I believe that the best answer to the question: What is most likely the authors purpose for using this narrative style? would be, C: to explain the setting thoroughly before introducing the action.

Explanation:

When you look at the excerpt here, you realize one common denominator: the narrator is letting us know about the place, and the circumstances around the place, where the events are unfolding. We learn about Anna Mae, that she is somewhere probably in a dinning room, since the narrator also shows us that the character is thinking about food. Then she also tells us about changes that the character would like to make to the place, before Scott, most likely her husband, arrives home where she is. There is also a mention of an event, a painful one, that she wishes that was forgotten and so she takes the necessary steps to prevent more pain. With these descriptions, the narrator in the excerpt is explaining both the location and situation before introducing us to the full story behind the image given in the excerpt.

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is The author believes Diane France’s work in making bone casts has helped many scientists, and she writes to give details about her experiences.

Explanation:

   What the author tries to express in this excerpt is to agree with the work of Diane France.

While it may seem a bit crude to display soldiers' bones (even if they are made of plastic), this work can help a lot to know what has happened to those bodies, who has attacked them, and even allows people to better empathize with the story of wars.

Given this information, we can say that the correct answer is The author believes Diane France's work in her making bone casts has helped many scientists, and she writes to give details about her experiences.

Analyze the elements of modernist poetry in Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "The Fish."
iVinArrow [24]

In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:

its pattern of darker brown

was like wallpaper:

shapes like full-blown roses

stained and lost through age.

Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:

still crimped from the strain and snap

She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:

frayed and wavering,

a five-haired beard of wisdom

trailing from his aching jaw.

I stared and stared

Angelina_Jolie [31]
The story involves creation from nothing. => <span>In the beginning there were no animals or humans, plants or trees. God uttered a command and the world began. (This is the biblical story of creation which was the sole product of God's word or Logos.)
