Answer:
With careful student pairings, academics would improve and new friendships would form.
Explanation:
Pathos is the appeal to emotions. Two of the sentences really appeal to the readers' emotions. The sentence about student pairings and the sentence about families complaining. The question though asks which uses pathos to support the claim that "A student tutoring program should be established so that peers can help one another." The last sentence about families complaining does not directly support the claim that peers can help one another. The cost benefit of a student-run program is just a side benefit.
Answer:
The figurative language that can be found in the sentence is onomatopoeia.
Explanation:
<u>Onomatopoeia refers to words that represent a sound by imitating it. </u>There are several verbs that come, originally, from imitating a sound, such as: to buzz, to clang, to click, to tinkle, to jingle, and to chime, among others. T<u>he verbs </u><u>to sizzle </u><u>and </u><u>to crack</u><u> are also examples of onomatopoeia. </u><u>To sizzle</u><u> mostly refers to the sound food makes while being fried, although it can also refer to the sounds that fire makes while burning. The same goes for </u><u>to crack</u><u>, although it can refer to a more extensive range of sounds, such as explosions, or the sound of something breaking.</u> Therefore, we can safely say the sentence "The meat sizzled and cracked as I laid it into the hot pan" uses onomatopoeia.
