The boom of the bittern resounds all day, and above it the rasping scream of the blue heron, as he strikes terror to the hearts

of frogdom; while the occasional cries of a lost loon, strayed from its flock in northern migration, fill the swamp with sounds of wailing.
What is the connotative effect of the word scream used in paragraph 3?




A) It suggests the horror that the cry of the heron must evoke in the hearts of its prey: frogs.
Eliminate
B) It suggests that the author does not like the heron or its cry and finds both of them to be quite irritating.
C) It makes the reader laugh at the ridiculousness of the scene; there's something comic about a bird "screaming."
D) It suggests that the heron is terrified of its own actions and does not like what is required of its existence in the swamp.

Which best describes the purpose of this excerpt of the prologue? * it predicts what will happen to Henry at the end * it states
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

it builds suspense about the war in the play.

Explanation:

The above excerpt talks about how the narrator is requesting the monarchs to behold their eyes for something great that is going to happen soon. It grandly introduces the entrance of King Henry into the war but does not foretell what is actually going to happen.

It helps in creating a suspense in the minds of the readers as to what will happen to the war once King Henry takes part in it. Therefore, the statement that best describes the purpose of this excerpt of the prologue is "it builds suspense about the war in the play."
