aleksklad [387]2 years ago
3 0

The author's purpose for using the words, best, worst, heartache, and destruction is this:

  • The words highlight the contrast between the positive and negative consequences of gold mining.

The additional line from the text that best achieves the same impact described in the answer to Part A is this:

  • "Some achieved their dreams most did not."

<h3>What was the reason for the author's use of the stated words?</h3>

The author's use of the words mentioned above shows that he wanted to show the contrast between the positive and negative consequences of gold mining. While it is true that some benefitted from this activity, it was also clear that many people did not benefit from them.

Those who were positively impacted got the best out of gold mining and those who were negatively impacted got the worst out of the activity. A similar sentence that shows a contrast is that some achieved their dreams most did not.

Which of the following is not a way to acquire background knowledge about the cultural context of a text?
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is C). Reading specifically to find the rising and falling actions of the story is not a way to acquire background knowledge about the cultural context of a text.

<u>Paying attention to the rising and falling actions</u>, which lead up to the climax and come right after the climax respectively, <u>will only provide the reader with information about the story itself</u>, that is, they will not provide information related to the cultural context of that story. Cultural context refers mainly to the type of society in which the characters live, their culture and how these factors influence the way they behave. On the other hand, <u>footnotes, introductory materials, pictures, graphs and other textual aids generally offer the readers background information about the context that might be unknown for them</u>.

Question 4 of 12 Beat! beat! drums!-blow! bugles! blow! Through the windows-through doors-burst like a ruthless force, Into the
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The repetition of the "s" sound in line 4 creates a soft sound that represents regular life in contrast to the exciting sounds of war.​

Explanation:

Alliteration is the repetition of sounds or letters at the beginning of words that are close to each other in a structure. In this excerpt, we can find alliteration with the sounds /b/ and /s/.

The two options that refer to the alliteration of /b/ are incorrect. It does not create an exciting nor a soothing sound. Quite the opposite, the purpose is to remind us of bombs and explosions, of violence and death.

As for the options concerning the /s/ sound, the only correct one is letter D. The repetition of the "s" helps the imagery in the poem. Its sound is soft, especially when opposed to the sound of shots and explosions. The same way, the scholar studying is a peaceful image, while the war, the invasion, the death previously described is anything but.
