Answer:

d) Both A and C

Explanation:

Shea Stutler uses both sensory details, interesting adjectives (A) and figurative language and vivid verbs (C) in this essay.

Here are some examples.

Sensory details: a blur of color; the warm ... scent of popcorn; a cacophony; once airborne, they were a soaring sight to behold; I felt the rush of wind on my face; the musky scent of cologne; the tactile sense had kicked in: punching and shoving of young lions..., bodies brushing by each other, and the gentle touch of hand on arm.

Interesting adjectives: dusty, cobwebbed memories; nostalgic scent; exuberant teenagers; skinny ... benches; the musky scent; a statuesque blonde.

Figurative language: a grace not unlike the albatross (simile and litotes, i.e. using double negatives to make a positive statement, or in this case, to make a comparison); a swirl of communication (metaphor); like kids playing dress up in their parents' clothes (simile); young lions, young ladies (alliteration).

Vivid verbs: swaggered, stumbled, flocked, behold, was mesmerized.

Olin [163]

Answer: 1. Man has created many inventions; yet, teleportation has not been possible.

2. Rich people waste a lot of money; meanwhile, poor people barely have food for the day.

3. I haven't done my laundry, nor washed the dishes.

4. Sometimes, singers release bad music since they have pressure from the record.

5. My boyfriend lost his wallet, so I had to pay for the food.

Explanation:

Independent clauses are complete clauses that can stand on their own, but when they are next to coordinating conjunctions or conjunctive adverbs, they form a compound sentence. These five examples have two independent clauses. For instance: "Rich people waste a lot of money" and "poor people barely have food for the day" make sense on their own; however, the conjunctive adverb "meanwhile" connects and contrasts them.

Which statement is a likely interpretation of Williams's use of the word "unsignificantly" in his poem?

GarryVolchara [31]

"Unsignificantly" in William Carlos Williams's poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is meant to indicate the relative prominence of the mythological event. Rather than portraying the fall of Icarus as the main focus of the painting, artist Pieter Brueghel places it in the background, a place of relative unimportance. The significance here is that the world continues on with mundane, everyday events even while extraordinary things occur. Williams uses the term "unsignificantly" to acknowledge the deliberate choice of depicting the death of Icarus in an mundane and rather unremarkable way.
