The correct answer A) The word “sage” is used primarily as a joke, gently mocking the fishing guide who cannot force fish to appear or guarantee good fishing to a paying customer.

The sort of tone that the author creates by using the connotative effects of the word “sage” in paragraph 6 is the following. The word “sage” is used primarily as a joke, gently mocking the fishing guide who cannot force fish to appear or guarantee good fishing to a paying customer.

This so because in paragraph 6 you can read: “But the real angler continues, regardless of the local sage. He who has Heard the line sing suddenly out of his reel, and after a hard-fought hour, scooped a six-pound black bass into the landing net, weary, but still “game,” is not dismay by bad luck.”

We are referring to an excerpt of “The Catching of Unshelled Fish”, written by Olive Green (Myrtle Reed).

This best describes the traveler's initial impression of the statue of Ozymandias

Explanation:

The poem “Ozymandias” by “Percy Bysshe Shelley” is about a traveller who tells the poet that there is a statue of a man called Ozymandias. It has only the legs left standing in the ground and a shattered head in the sand. The king got his statue made in the notion that people would remember him for his greatness and majesty. But he only known for his arrogance.

Ozymandias was a self-obsessed and arrogant king. He loved himself more than the people of his kingdom. The statue was made by a skilled artisan who made the statue meticulously. He made a stern face of the king, to depict no emotions and wrinkled lips to denote his cruelty. The sculptor wanted to show th at a person is only remembered for his behaviour.

Answer:

C - Slang

Explanation:

Gibberish is typically only used by young children. Not appropriate here since you're likely not talking about a 3-5 year old.

Formal language is typically only used in a professional setting or with people you're not familiar with (i.e. not your family or friends)

Jargon is like slang, but it's used in a professional setting. Doctors use jargon when talking about diseases. Ex: A "JT" is a joint. This isn't slang you'd use unless you were in their workplace.

It's slang because we use slang when talking to someone we're familiar with and in a non-formal situation. Borrowing a bike from our brother is non-formal, and we're familiar with him.
