Answer:

It was an execution stand.

Explanation:

Based on the context of expression used in the Hangman poem such as "capping sill of the courthouse door" it portrays a court house scene.

Therefore, the scaffold changed in size when it fine to execute or hang the two persons (victims) sentence. This hanging would have warranted increasing the height of the scaffold.

rodikova [14]

Grammar lays the groundwork for effective communication.

 Grammatical errors come in many forms and all can easily confuse and obscure meaning.  Some common errors are with sentence structure, subject/verb tense, punctuation, spelling, and other basic mechanics and parts of speech.  Even something as simple as a misplaced comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence.  For example: "Let's eat grandpa" vs. "Let's eat, grandpa."

 Grammar makes written content more readable and in turn more interesting. 

That's all I got, I hope this helps in some way or another! XP

One sentence in paragraph 7 uses figurative language to make its point. Underline the
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The sentence which uses figurative language to make its point is:

If all of the stories were strung together, they would form a chain as long as the highway  on which the Dust Bowl migrants traveled.

Explanation:

Figurative language consists in using words in a way that gives them meanings beyond the one(s) they originally and literally have. The purpose is to convey a message, an opinion, a feeling, etc. in a more colorful, touching, or persuasive manner. Examples of figurative language are: metaphors, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, simile, etc.

<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here, the author uses figurative language by comparing the stories to a long chain. The purpose is to vividly represent how large the number of stories is. Of course, it is literally impossible to string stories together, but that is precisely what figurative language does. It creates a mental image that is often fantastic, but that efficiently conveys a sensation or idea.</u>
