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.

9. Read the following sentences from “The Destructors”: The new recruit had been with the gang since the beginning of the summer
dangina [55]

According to the sentences shared from The Destructors, the word that best describes Trevor is <u>peculiar</u>.

From those sentences we can't tell that Trevor's silence is because he is cautious or introspective. Nothing in those lines tells us any other thing for us to understand that he is one of those two things.

On the other hand, we can know from the sentence "When he said 'Trevor' it was a statement of a fact, not as it would have been with the others a statement of shame or defiance" that he didn't mean to be threatening, so the choice left is C.

Peculiar, as an adjective, means that someone clearly distinguishes from the rest for some personal characteristic. Trevor's attitude is clearly different from the rest of the gang and it is something that distinguishes him.

Answer:

Poetry is special because the author uses a different form of wording to express themselves. Whether it's with rhyming or simply just putting their thoughts on stanzas, poetry is different from other forms of writing in many ways.
