The statement which best explains what the word choice in this excerpt reveals about Crusoe is the following: "the phrase 'it was a merry reflection' reveals that Crusoe is happy and content" (D).
The general tone of the excerpt is positive, almost cheerful. This is indicated by the author's use of phrases like "how like a king I looked" or "it was remarkable." The fact that Crusoe finds something as neutral as his reflection "merry" also shows that he is optimistic about his current situation.
Okay, an antecedent of a pronoun is always a noun, so immediately you can reject the words late and wandered as incorrect answers, because late is an adjective, and wandered is a verb. This leaves us with two nouns, guests and party. Obviously, the pronoun several refers to the noun guests, so the correct answer is guests - that is the antecedent that corresponds with the pronoun. Several guests, not several parties.
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "D. The majority opinion uses lower courts' decisions on the same case as evidence." judicial reviews in the majority opinion differ from those in the dissent is that the majority opinion uses lower courts' decisions on the same case as evidence.
D.. again. It makes it feel like someone is telling a story
The correct answer is Metaphor
Explanation:
In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.
