I believe the correct answer is to help the reader visualize a view where water and sky are difficult to tell apart.
The author is trying to portray an image where the water and the sky are somehow blending into each other - you can't tell where one ends and the other one begins, because both items are colored similarly - various shades of blue.

How might a story be different if the narration is changed
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The reader might learn new information.

Explanation:

Narration is point of view.

There could be first person, where the narrator is a character in the story.

"I jumped into the air."

Second person is when the author is addressing you, the reader, but this isn't really used in stories.

"You jumped into the air."

Third person is when the narrator talks about the story and the characters.

"He jumped into the air."

In first person, you could have multiple people narrating the story at different times. For example, here are two people narrating the story:

"I jumped into the air."

"I saw bob jump into the air across the street. Oh, no! He forgot that he ate 10 hot dogs yesterday! He's going to vomit!"

As you can see, going into another person's mind to see their perspective of the story can greatly change what is going on. You can learn new information based on who is the narrator.

Which of the following sentences uses language literally?
zubka84 [21]
The answer is "I went to one class to another all day." It is using language literally as that person actually did go from one class to another, while in the other sentences, figurative language (IE exaggerated or personified language) is used to express the author's point.

Yes, the correct answer is D.

Including this information at the end of the article helps the reader understand what happened after the president's speech.

This information does explain how some of the transfer of power will proceed, but that is not why the information comes at the end of the article. Only answer D explains this statement's presence at the end of the article.
