Answer:

Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a literary figurative device/ language used by writers in making comparisons between two things, which may not be literally applicable for the issue addressed. But this comparison makes it more understandable or easier to comprehend.

In his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" of 1963, Martin Luther King used this metaphorical speech to address the issue of racial discrimination that his people are facing. He states that it will be "easy" for anyone who has never experienced the prejudice his people suffered, to say that the issue of racial "segregation" can be let alone and more important matters to be worked on. He compares this racial discrimination with that of a "stinging dart" which hits hard and stings everything it hits.

Explanation:

What does the imagery in this passage help readers envision?

Well, I can not see what passage or what picture but I know this. Imagery normal helps readers envision what's happening in the story. Imagery helps them get a better understanding.

What does this imagery most clearly emphasize to the readers?

I don't exactly know what imagery but I do know that images most clearly emphasize the actions the characters doing or what they are talking about or where they are or maybe even what the character is imagining. So imagery basically emphasizes things that the author wants you to think about instead of imagining they are showing a clear picture.

Hopefully, this helps. If I made a mistake feel free to correct me. :)

What theme is revealed through the story? A Trust leads to death in romantic relationships. B In some situations, the right choi

sleet_krkn [62]

I have looked this question up. It refers to the short story "The Lady, or the Tiger".

Answer:

The theme that is revealed through the story is:

B. In some situations, the right choice is not easy to find.

Explanation:

"The Lady, or the Tiger" is a short story by American author and humorist Frank Richard Stockton. One of the themes revealed through the story is that, in some situations, the right choice is not easy to find. That theme comes through the dilemma which is faced by the princess.

She has fallen in love with a man of inferior birth. Her father, a semi-barbaric king, arrests the man and decides he will go to trial. The trial, however, is based on luck rather than fairness. The man is supposed to choose one of two doors. Behind it, there may be a tiger or a maiden. If the man chooses the tiger, he dies. If he chooses the maiden, he has to marry her.

Now, the princess has been able to find out which door leads to each fate. And this is where her dilemma starts. If she shows him the door to the maiden, she will lose him, since he will marry someone else. Just thinking about that possibility makes her blood boil with jealousy. But, if she shows him the door to the tiger, she will also lose him, since he will die. What could be the right choice?

Often people take vacations to tropical islands often like the Bahamas. Although the Bahamas is a wonderful relaxing spot, Bora Bora, Tahiti is a wonderful spot to also vacation at. The waters are clear, and smooth along with a calm wave occasionally. Also a calm ocean smell with a warm sand. Another reason to go to tropical islands is because it is said to make you a happier, calmer, nicer person. Too much stress can cause someone to overthink at work and or school. Another reason is because a hammock is way healthier than a bed! As a book called Back and Bed: Ergonomic Aspects Of Sleeping points out, a hammock means better Ergonomic for your body by distributing your weight more evenly and reducing pressure points.

Identify which line is NOT a Key Detail that supports the main idea:

sasho [114]

Answer: At those speeds, a trip from New York City to Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10 seconds.

Explanation:

''At those speeds, a trip from New York City to Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10 seconds.'' is a detail that is not supporting the main idea because it is excessive. The main idea of the paragraph is describing the type of weather event between the sun and the wind including speed and type of the wind.

Because of that, we can feel that the described trip from New York City to Los Angeles is a sentence that does not belong in this passage and this one sentence is acting outstandingly in the passage.

Other sentences are well connected and that is why they are incorrect answers.
