Then all at once, with terrible suddenness, the light about him shot upward with the noise of a loud splash; a frightful roaring

was in his ears, and all was cold and dark. The power of thought was restored; he knew that the rope had broken and he had fallen into the stream. There was no additional strangulation; the noose about his neck was already suffocating him and kept the water from his lungs. To die of hanging at the bottom of a river!—the idea seemed to him ludicrous. He opened his eyes in the darkness and saw above him a gleam of light, but how distant, how inaccessible! He was still sinking, for the light became fainter and fainter until it was a mere glimmer. Then it began to grow and brighten, and he knew that he was rising toward the surface—knew it with reluctance, for he was now very comfortable. “To be hanged and drowned,” he thought? “that is not so bad; but I do not wish to be shot. No; I will not be shot; that is not fair.”
What does the motif of light represent in the excerpt and in the rest of the story?
death and dying
different versions of reality
punishment for one’s mistakes
life during wartime

What is the possible final effect if a director uses the wrong kind of filter or uses filters too much?
forsale [732]
In my opinion, the correct answer is A. <span>It can look cheap. The main problem with filters is not their realistic or unrealistic look, or their brightness and darkness. Filters are not used for imitating reality anyway. The problem is their cheap effect. They should be used very carefully and not without a good reason.</span>

Which of the following is a compound sentence?
Bogdan [553]
A compound sentence needs at least two independent clauses and can be combined by conjunctions such as and, or, but, for, yet, nor and so.  The independent clauses can also be combined by a semicolon ;

(A)
If we look at A, we can see A does not have two independent clauses. There is a depend and an independent clause and that is why we have a comma after go in A.

(B)
What I said about A is the same for B

(C)
Ah! good old C. C has two independent clauses and has the conjunction and after mall and before John. This is very important because this is where one independent clause stops and another independent clause starts. C has everything that makes up a compound sentence so the answer is C.

(D)
If we look at D, we can see D is just a single independent clause, which is asking a question.
