According to the dictionary, clanging refers to a mode of speech characterized by association of words based upon sound rather than concepts; and glaring to something that is shining intensely and blindingly.

So we can say that "The connotations of clanging and glaring suggest that the city is <u>in a chaos.</u>

I would say that the city is busy, populous, modern, yet devoid of humanity, the author seems to suggest. "Clanging" evokes a loud sound, coming, perhaps, from a streetcar, or a crowded street, whereas "glaring" evokes an intense, almost blinding, light, which might come from the marquee of a theater or the window of a fancy store. Yet, this abundance of light, the author ponders, which could seemingly equal progress, prosperity, and happiness, is bringing people neither joy nor pride or freedom. Hence her relief when she leaves the city behind and arrives to the familiarity and the humanity of her home.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

1 cup of water = 3/2 cups of flour

Explanation:

Given

1⅔ cup of water = 2½ cup of flour

Required

Determine the equivalent of 1 cup of water

1⅔ cup of water = 2½ cup of flour

Convert fractions to improper fraction

5/3 cup of water = 5/2 cup of flour

Multiply both sides by 3/5

3/5 * 5/3 cup of water = 3/5 * 5/2 cup of flour

1 cup of water = 15/10 cup of flour

1 cup of water = 3/2 cups of flour
