Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

D. the snail’s path

Explanation:

In the passage, the author describes the path of the snail in the most precise details. He describes the glimmering of the path (shiny ribbon) and the way it is traced on the surface of the sand.  He uses the most detailed and descriptive words when talking about the path itself. 

He uses this to proves to the reader how clear the water is, to show in what little details the path can be seen through the water. Yet, the most precise words are used for the path itself, and not the water.

Describe the music you hear (character, tempo, solo instruments, repeated themes/melodies you hear, etc.)

Answer:

here you go :)

Explanation:

In The Nutcracker 71a, you can hear the opening theme song, the nutcracker's march, dance of the sugar plum fairies, the russian dance, the arabian dance, the Chinese dance, the reed flutes, and waltz of the flowers. All of these play throughout the ballet to represent the different scenes in the production. You often hear the strings, brass/horns, and the use of a full orchestra. The tempo changes throughout the movement, depending on the scene and what goes on in the scene. Example, Waltz of The Flowers begins with a slow harp melody, but blossoms into a section led by the horns, followed by the main melody being dominated over the strings, and finally the full composition closing off with a full orchestra.
