In this excerpt from Gordimer's essay, the author discusses the consequences of apartheid. This excerpt is used to reflect on how some things are admired by the white and powerful population for their rarity but are the everyday objects for the poor South because it's all they have. She concludes that image by saying "The penny whistle is a charming piece of musical ingenuity; but it should not always be necessary for a man to make his music out of nothing.".

Through this she says that the poor <em>South</em> uses candles because that's all they've got. She says that it's not that bad to live in Sophiatown (predominantly black region, destroyed during the apartheid) but that it's <em>tragic</em> when you don't have the possibilities of living anywhere else.

what best describes the literary device employed in this from excerpt from Ha Jin "the bane of the internet".
ValentinkaMS [17]

I would say, Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..

The adjective that should be added to the word "trait" is desirable. That is option E.

<h3>What is an adjective?</h3>

An adjective is the word that can be used in a sentence to modify a noun, noun phrase or a pronoun.

A noun is the name of a person, animal place or a thing.

The word "trait" used in the sentence is a noun. To modify the word "trait", in order to reinforce the passage's perspective on soft skills, desirable is used.

That is, in order to improve the clarity of the claim pending on what teens do instead, these desirable traits can be developed in other ways.
