How does the phrase "gives me pleasure" help contribute to a tone of satisfaction in this excerpt?

1 answer:

3 0

This sounds like a multiple choice, but if it isn't I'll just say what I think.

"It gives me pleasure" indicates that he is delighted to announce the news to Congress of the removal of the Native Americans. If we were to take away that section from the passage, it would read something like this:

"The benevolent policy of the Government, steadily pursued for nearly thirty years, in relation to the removal of the Indians beyond the white settlements is approaching to a happy consummation."

Now this sounds cheerful enough, because of the words benevolent (charitable) and happy, but the use of the phrase "gives me pleasure" really sets the tone for the paragraph, and let's you know right away how Jackson is feeling about his announcement.

Decide whether each sentence uses descriptive language or not.

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Jasmine saw a frog in the road. This does not use descriptive language, because the author does not specifically state anything about Jasmine, the frog, or even the road.

She suspiciously eyed the fluffy white poodle that was decorated with fluorescent pink bows. This does use descriptive language, because of how detailed the information is.

The sky was a dull and murky gray. Descriptive language was also used in the sentence, because the sky is so specifically described.

The boy watched his brother play on the swing set. Not specifically described, so no descriptive language is used.
