Which of the following elements does not contribute to the dreary mood of this short passage from the novel Bleak House by Charl

es Dickens?
"Fog on the Essex marshes, fog on the Kentish heights. Fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog lying out on the yards, and hovering in the rigging of great ships; fog drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats. Fog in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners, wheezing by the firesides of their wards; fog in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper; fog cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little 'prentice boy on deck."

Assuming your options are <em>infinitives, repetition, adjectives, and punctuation, </em>the correct answer is infinitives.
The answer is rather simple when you think about it - there are no infinitives in this passage, so obviously they cannot contribute to any mood. There are repetitions (the word fog is constantly being repeated), there are a lot of adjectives, and some punctuation marks - all of which contribute to the dreariness of this excerpt.

The prompt you have been asked to write about is one about a Reflect3ive Speech. The purpose of a Reflective Speech is for the orator to give an account of their experience of a particular event AND how that event has shaped them.

<h3>How do you write a Reflective Speech?</h3>

It is to be noted that the question is asking the student to assume the role of a noble laureate. That means you may want to study some of the speeches that have been given by Nobel Laureates.

Every great speech must start with proper outlines. One of the easiest outlines to use is the I - MID - C format. I mean introduction. This section is critical because it helps you connect with the audience. One of the best ways to start your speech is to start with a hilarious story.

The next is the MID, which is the midsection or body of the speech.

Assuming you are doing 400 words, your introduction can be about 100. The body is about 200, then the conclusion is another 100.

The conclusion is where you summarize and restate your key points. Finally, get to know your audience beforehand and rehearse your speech over and over again until you are confident about it.

Answer:

Step 1: Write a counterclaim. Write a sentence that contradicts the claim.  

Step 2: Explain the counterclaim. The more “real” you make the opposing position, the more “right” you will seem when you disprove it.  

Step 3: Rebut the counterclaim

Also an Examples of counterclaims include: … After a bank has sued a customer for an unpaid debt, the customer counterclaims (sues back) against the bank for fraud in procuring the debt. The court will sort out the different claims in one lawsuit (unless the claims are severed).
