Answer: ominous
Explanation:
In this paragraph, the word forbiding means the same as ominous. Ominous simply means that something that's threatening or bad.

Answer:
The phrases that support the author's purpose of describing how lovely and full of life the place was:
Supports Purpose
-wildflowers delighted
-places of beauty
-countless birds
Is Neutral
-the snow
-in winter
-Along the roads
Explanation:
These are words that supports the author's purpose and the ones that are neutral.
The phrases "places of beauty", "wildflowers delighted", and "countless birds" all support and give credence to the loveliness and liveliness of the place.
However, the neutral words that do not directly support the author's purpose, the neutral phrases "the snow", "in winter", "along the roads" are just used to describe the weather and road without supporting the author's description of liveliness.
Answer: An apocalyptic story about the not-too-distant future.
Explanation:
- The Hunger Games talk about the world and what is happening in it about the not-too-distant future. The shop is located in the united states. The world is littered with wars, hunger, a lack of necessary living conditions. The country of Panem has risen in this world, with the Capitol as its center and 12 other counties. In retaliation for their long-standing uprising, the Capitol randomly selects two young representatives from each district each year to participate in the Hunger Games. Part of the fun for the masses, part of the intimidation tactics of subordinate areas, Hunger Games is televised throughout Panem. Twenty-four participants are forced to kill their opponents, and the rest of the nation is required to monitor the Games. Minor Prim was pulled out of the mining district for the famine games; however, her sister was grumbling for her and was calling her Katniss. Katniss will confront her partner by far the most potent participants from other districts. This is the content of the first book.
- In the second book In The Flame, sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen and son of baker Peeta Mellark, winners of the 74th Hunger Games, embark on a twelve-county winning tour. Still, it turns out very quickly that, defying the Capitol and its ruthless rules, Katniss is not Peeta herself and their families with a victory guaranteed life of safety and abundance. Rumors of a rebellion against the powerful are getting louder, and it looks like young fellow fighters have become her protective faces. The Capitol will, of course, anger it, so the Capitol wants to seek revenge as well. In "Shock Mockingbird," the final installment of the trilogy, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice, but although she has managed to get out of the bloody arena, she is not sure yet. Next to her is her friend Gale, but not Peeta, who is held hostage by President Snow, while a Panama fire spreads.
- This trilogy has gained considerable popularity. Books were sold in vast quantities. The story also came with its own Hollywood saga, and a three-part movie was made.
The answers to the question above would be the following ones:
A) The rhetorical device used here is repetition. President John F. Kennedy has chosen to repeat the same structures over and over again. We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade (...) not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve (...)".
B) The rhetorical device used here is satire. Satire is the use of humour, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity, particularly in the context of politics.
C) The rhetorical device used here is rhetorical question. Rhetorical questions are asked in order to make a statement. They do not expect any answer. Douglass believes that the wrongfulness of slavery is an issue that he expects everyone to be concerned with.
