The answer is d he is laughing

Answer:

D. He

Explanation:

<em>The participle phrase is here modifying the subject "he". It assists in the amendment of the gerund phrase i.e. 'his laughing action" where the participle phrase("he shook his head and said") acts as an adjective to revamp or modify the previous idea.</em> As we know that adjectives always function as a transformer of a noun or pronoun and thus adds to meaning and description to the sentence which best illustrates the use of participle phrase here.<em> Thus, we could conclude that here the participle phrase modifies the pronoun "he".</em>

Answer:

Austin Richard Post, known professionally as Post Malone, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer.

Post was born in Syracuse, New York, the son of Nicole Frazier Lake, from Walton, NY, and Rich Post. His father had been a disc jockey in his youth and introduced Post to many different genres of music including hip-hop, country, and rock. He is of Polish, English, and Scottish descent.

When Post was nine years old, he moved to Grapevine, Texas, with his father and stepmother Jodie, after his father became the manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys. Post began to play the guitar and auditioned for the band Crown the Empire in 2010, but was rejected after his guitar strings broke during the audition. He credited his initial interest in learning guitar to the popular video game Guitar Hero. Post has always had a love for emo music, and appeared for a DJ set at Emo Nite in Los Angeles in June 2017, playing My Chemical Romance at the event. According to Post, his very first foray into professional music began when he was in a heavy metal band. Soon after, he says he transitioned to softer rock as well as hip-hop, before beginning to experiment on FL Studio. At 16, using Audacity, Post created his first mixtape, Young and After

Them Riches. He showed it to some of his classmates at Grapevine High School.He was voted "Most Likely to Become Famous" by his classmates as a senior in high school. He worked at a Chicken Express as a teenager.

How does voice affect the credibility of a text?
kolbaska11 [484]

The correct answer is:

The voice affects consistency of tone and the amount of bias revealed.

Explanation:

Voice, in literature, is what we hear when we read the work of a specific author, it is created by the format of the author's writing, while in a spoken language it would be the sound of the voice.

Tone, on the other hand, is the attitude and feelings of the author towards the writing, and it is reflected in the choice of words of the writer to express those feelings to the audience, in a spoken language it would be the actual tone of the voice when someone speaks. Voice affects consistency in tone and the amount of bias revealed because the format used to write a suspense novel, or an ironic comedy would change to express the actual purpose of the writing.

Orwell says that the incident with the elephant
Stels [109]

Answer:

When Orwell relates his experience with the elephant in “Shooting an Elephant” it gives some insight into his own psyche as well as the structure of imperialism. In this moment, he criticizes imperialism, showing that the leaders are controlled by the masses just as much as, if not more so than, the other way around.

He describes himself as being despised by the Burmese people. He is a colonial policeman, and in this role, he is associated with imperial British rule, propped up by the threat of force. (Orwell himself served in the Indian imperial police for a time, so the narrator's voice is likely his own.) When the elephant tears through the bazaar, killing a coolie, the Burmese crowd demands that he shoot and kill it. He does not want to do this, because by the time he arrives on the scene, the elephant has calmed, and no longer poses a threat to anybody. Orwell reflects that, in order to appease the angry crowd, he has to fill the role that they expect of him, which is that of a hated "tyrant." This is the paradoxical nature of empire- he must compromise his morality, become what the Burmese people already think he is, or risk their laughter and scorn. For someone that has already determined that he hates British imperialism, the incident is profoundly unsettling, but in a "roundabout way enlightening." It underscores the duality of empire, a world in which a man like Orwell can, as he says in the account, hold remarkably contradictory feelings:

The incident illustrates that, whatever objections they may have to British rule, imperial officials have to be hated to be respected.
