In <em>The Solitary Reaper</em>, the speakers expresses his feelings about the reaper's song. The reaper was a lady, apparently with the most beautiful voice the speaker had ever heard. He is overtaken by the beauty of her tune and goes on wondering about what the reaper could be singing about. He ends the poem stating that, regardless of the meaning of her song, he carries the beauty of it in his heart even when he can't hear her anymore.
Taking into consideration that one of the most prominent features of Romanticism is the focus on emotions, and that this poem is all about the speaker's emotions and imagination regarding the reaper's singing, we can conclude that this is the most prominent Romantic characteristic in this poem.

Answer:
Rhetorical questions.
Explanation:
Patrick Henry's "Speech to the Virginia Convention" was intended to persuade Virginian politicians through these <u>rhetorical questions</u> in order to induce the readers' thinking into the argument to emphasize a particular point, idea or perception. These questions are usually employed as a thought-provoking tool to subtly influence the audience. <em>These questions tend to elicit their thoughts and strong emotions and their answer would provide support to his central argument.</em> Thus, the rhetorical question would best describe and exemplify this quotation.
Answer:
I believe the choice Welles makes that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it is happening live is:
D. He changes the verbs to present tense.
Explanation:
In 1938, future filmmaker Orson Welles broadcast a special Halloween episode on radio featuring an adaptation of the novel War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells. The novel narrates a fictional invasion on Earth by Martians.
<u>Welles made it seem as if the bits of the novel he was reading were actually news bulletins, interrupting the normal broadcast of music now and then with new details concerning an invasion. To make it sound more realistic, as if the events are happening live, he narrates them using the present tense. The excerpt below belongs to a transcription of the broadcast. Pay attention to the verbs:</u>
<em> Ladies and gentlemen, we</em><em> interrupt</em><em> our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News. At twenty minutes before eight, central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, </em><em>reports
</em><em> observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars. The spectroscope</em><em> indicates</em><em> the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity. Professor Pierson of the Observatory at Princeton confirms Farrell's observation, and </em><em>describes</em><em> the phenomenon as "like a jet of blue flame shot from a gun".</em>
<u>By using the present tense, the narrator conveys a sense of immediacy, as if the events are taking place in real time.</u>
Slope = rise/run = delta y/ delta x, so y (or rather, the difference in y values) is the numerator.
This question is incomplete because the passage from the source Miral wants to include is missing; here is the passage:
Read the excerpt from a credible source for Mirai's research-based essay on the effects of the declining bee population.
Honeybees play a major role in the pollination of produce sold in the United States. Without the prolific support of honeybees, the nation's agricultural economy will suffer losses as great as those in the bee population.
The correct answer to this question is C. She should quote the second sentence directly, because it establishes important supporting evidence in a unique way.
Explanation:
In general, you can include credible sources by quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing this. Additionally, it is recommended to paraphrase or summarize the information if the information is general or can be restated without losing its essence. On the opposite, you should quote if the wording is unique, which means using your own words will affect the essence of the information, and if the piece of evidence directly supports the main argument.
According to this, in the source presented it recommended Mirai quotes the second sentence because this directly supports her main argument about the effects of the decline in the bees population. Also, the wording on it is unique and would be difficult to replace. For example, the expression "the nation's agricultural economy will suffer losses as great as those in the bee population" would lose its argumentative strength unique style if it is paraphrased or summarized.
