English
1 answer:
bearhunter [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

O Jonah has two ultimate goals: becoming a published columnist and writing a book.

Explanation:

Parallel structure in any given sentence is the use of the same grammatical structure or construction in the sentence. This repetition of the grammatical form in a single sentence allows for better readability and understanding, also making it easier to be framed.

In the given sentence, parallelism occurs in the use of the "<u>verb+ing</u>" in the words <em>"becoming"</em> and <em>"writing"</em>. It presents a smooth flow of words and the sentence construction makes for perfect rhythm. Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Which epic characteristic is represented by the opening lines of the Iliad by Homer?
telo118 [61]

An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.


The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.


To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.


And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.


In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res .

How does Simon contribute to the plot of Lord of the Flies? He tends the signal fire that leads to the boys' rescue. He symboliz
Bess [88]

Answer:

Simon contributes to the plot of "Lord of the Flies" because:

D. He symbolizes the potential for goodness and gentleness.

Explanation:

"Lord of the Flies" is a novel by author William Golding. A group of young boys ends up stranded on a deserted island and, without the presence and authority of an adult, the relationship between the boys falls into chaos. Roles and decisions are based on strength and age, the younger and weaker often being despised. Savagery eventually becomes the new normal for some.

<u>Amidst the mess, Simon is a character that symbolizes goodness. He becomes a prophet-like character, seemingly more spiritually evolved than the others. Simon often retreats to be alone. When among the others, he is kind to the young and the weak. He is almost like a saint, whose goodness reminds readers that, even though savagery is now reigning, the boys still have the potential to be kind and altruistic.</u>
