I’m pretty sure it’s B) Karen realizes that thinking calmly is better than panicking.
This question is incomplete because the options were not given; here is the complete question:
Which lines from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe" contain an example of characterization?
A. Ringed by the tall brick walls Semíramis had built—so we are told.
B. If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe.
C. The wall their houses shared had one thin crack, which formed when they were built and then was left
D. When first light had banished night's bright star-fires from the sky and sun had left the brine-soaked meadows dry
The answer to this question is B. "If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe"
Explanation:
In literature, characterization involves using details to explain the traits of characters, this includes their personality, physical traits, qualities, among others. This literary device can be seen in the excerpt "If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe" because, in this, the narrator describes Thisbe, who is one main character of the story. Also, the narrator focuses on one important trait of this character, which is her greater charm that according to the narrator could only be found in Thisbe.
The correct answer is C.
These lines are an example of enjambment. We can tell this because the sentence does not end with the line of poetry but instead carries over to the next lines.
This is not example of a metaphor because the comparison uses the word "like." This selection, then, illustrates both enjambment and simile.
Answer:
Brainwash
Explanation:
The options you were given are the following:
- convince
- brainwash
- persuade
- influence
Words have two types of meaning:
- Denotation - their literal meaning;
- Connotation - the emotional or cultural association they carry. Depending on what emotion a word evokes, its connotation can be defined as negative, neutral, or positive.
The words <em>convince, persuade, </em>and <em>influence</em> have a neutral connotation. The only word that has a negative connotation is <em>brainwash</em>. When someone brainwashes someone else, they lead them to believe something by continually telling them that it is true while preventing them from thinking about it properly. Whenever we use this word, we're talking about a negative occurrence.
