Read the excerpt from chapter 11 of The Awakening. The stillest hour of the night had come, the hour before dawn, when the world

seems to hold its breath. The moon hung low, and had turned from silver to copper in the sleeping sky. The old owl no longer hooted, and the water-oaks had ceased to moan as they bent their heads. Which best describes how the author uses language to craft her style? The author uses exaggeration to create unrealistic, warped images of nature. The author uses figurative language to create strong sensory images of nature. The author uses the denotative meanings of words to create images of nature.

Answer: B) The author uses figurative language to create strong sensory images of nature.

Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It can be expressed through metaphors, similes, personifications, allusions, etc. In the given excerpt we can see an example of the use of figurative language, specifically personification such as: "the world seems to hold its breath," "the sleeping sky," "the water-oaks had ceased to moan as they bent their heads," etc. The personification is used to create strong sensory images of nature.

Margaret [11]

Hello. You have not submitted the arguments to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

A persuasive argument is one that has the capacity to convince the reader about something. The author of this argument wants the reader to agree with what he is presenting and for this reason uses several evidences and supporting information to show that the argument is valid, true and that it must be adopted by the reader. Therefore, to answer this question, you must first read the arguments and see which one has less evidence, failing to show that it is correct and that it must be believed. In this case, this argument is the least persuasive.
