D. The narrator acts as though the situation is completely normal.

The use of authorial reticence in the story is seen from how the narrator so easily shrugs off the man hitting him with the umbrella, eventually dismissing it as normal and even welcoming it into his life, despite the situation's absurdity.

To be reticent is to not reveal one's thoughts readily. In this case, it is the reticence of the author. The author does not reveal their thoughts readily. If the narrator or author refuses to do something, it is made known that he is doing something. The something here is him refusing. If he acts as if the situation is normal, I'd assume he is acting in such a way that would be nonreactionary of the actions from the provoker. I would safely choose the last option as sorrentino's exercising of authorial reticence.

Capulet: Why, how now, kinsman! wherefore storm you so?
Pavel [41]

Correct answer choice is :

<h2>C) Tybalt is ready to fight, and Lord Capulet is less impulsive. </h2>

Explanation:

Friar Laurence proceeded to make things even critical by lying to Lord Capulet in supporting Juliet fake her death. For all of these purposes, Friar Laurence is obliquely liable for their deaths. However, he is rightly justified by the Prince, because eventually, their deaths are the fault of Lords Capulet and Montague.

To Autumn
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The inference that can be drawn from "To Autumn" is:

A. Autumn is a peaceful and abundant season, full of natural beauty.

The evidence that supports the answer in Part A is:

A. "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness . . . Conspiring . . . how to lead and bless With fruit the vines . . . And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core."

Explanation:

John Keats was an English Romantic poet, born in 1795, dead in 1821 at the age of only 25. In his poem "To Autumn", Keats describes the season with vivid imagery, praising its abundance. Especially in the first stanza, Keats describes in detail how fruitful autumn is - how fruits and flowers are abundant. They grow ripe, succulent and sweet, thanks to blessed autumn. Keats does not describe autumn as being inferior to spring. Quite the contrary, he says both seasons have their songs. He also describes the transition from autumn to winter beautifully, peacefully. There is no sadness in his description, but the very opposite, with images of noisy animals, rivers, and winds.
