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.

From the book the giver, explain how families are formed in Jonas's community and why this is significant so far in the story, w
Pie

Here are some of the ways the families are significant, I'm not sure how far you are in the story yet tho. I read this book last year, so I can't remember which parts these are from

1) The way they have 2 children to a family, one male and one female

2) Raising children were rules in the community

3) The parents aren't the real birth givers of the children, you had to apply for kids

4) Very controlled family with special practices

Hope this helps! (I believe it's all before chapter 10)

Which of the following is not a key point of stretching?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The first alternative is correct (A).

Stretching is a way to stimulate the muscles and ligaments of the human body to improve posture, breathing and pre-disposition of people. Several activities are part of stretching, such as correct breath control, the time each session should last, and the natural discomfort. However, bounceing the body is not part of stretching practices, it is part of some aerobic activities.

Which of the actions listed can help you to determine the tone of a text?
Travka [436]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

C usually doesn't help with anything aside from implying how fast the plot is progressing, or a sudden break/ change from the initial storyline, that kind of thing.

B. The surface level topic is always very apparent, it's the underlying topic that requires knowing what's the tone of the text and some other factors to know.

D. The quantity of adjectives used usually doesn't matter as much as the quality of the adjectives used.

So A is the answer I deducted.
