<span>The central idea of this excerpt is that Revere traveled through several towns to spread the word that the British were on their way. It takes us through his actions and the ensuing events as if we are reading it in real time. The structure supports these concepts due to its repetition of the time. It begins the first stanza with "It was twelve by the village clock," then begins the second stanza with "It was one by the village clock," etc. This builds suspense for his ride, and gives us an overview of how long this ride actually took. </span>
This is an example of figurative language i think... don't quote me hope i helped

First of all, in this statement the speaker introduces herself and immediately lets the audience know why this topic is so important to her. Audiences are more likely to be invested in a speech if they know the speaker is personally invested in the cause. It also begins with an example of pathos--an emotional appeal to the audience--which is effective in drawing an audience in.
You want to avoid throwing a lot of numbers or other researchers' names at the audience immediately upon starting (even though you will definitely want to use those things within the speech) because they will make the tone seem too formal or fact-based before the audience has a chance to become invested.
Answer:
The answer is B, a semicolon.
Mr. Gomez made sure we understood fractions; we then began algebra.
Explanation:
A sentence uses a semicolon when it does not have the word "and", "but", "because", etc.
In this example, if it were to say "Mr Gomez made sure we understood the fractions and we then began algebra", It would need a comma.
Because this sentence continues without that word "and", it needs a semicolon. This is because it is two separate sentences within one sentence.
I hope this helps :)

Explanation: In the excerpt we can clearly see that it is a story about how the creation of the world, first because the Eldest Magician is creating mountains, Islands, deserts only with his breath, and also, he refers to the animals as "All the Elephant-there-was," "All-the-Beaver-there-was", etc, because they are the first animals ever created of each kind, so there was just one cow, one elephant, one beaver, etc.
