  I think your answer would be huge. Because we already know that the torrent of water rushed down the street, so we really don't need the adjective huge to describe it.

Answer:

The unnecessary adjective in the sentence is "huge".

Explanation:

"Huge" is redundant in this sentence because it means the same as "torrent". On the one hand, "torrent" refers to "a strong and fast-moving stream of water or other liquid" or to "an overwhelming outpouring of (something)". On the other hand, "huge" means "extremely large, enormous". As you can see, they both make reference to the same meaning component "something being extremely big and of great importance".

Which best explains how this detail helps to develop the plot and establish the theme Pride goes before the fall
kotegsom [21]
<span>Which best explains how this detail helps to develop the plot and establish the theme Pride goes before the fall

I think the correct answer is:
It provides  resolution; it demonstrates Creon's fear that Antigone's rule-breaking will spread, and he will spend too much of his time pursuing criminals instead of ruling Thebes.
</span>

This kind of pride is not the same as “taking pride in your appearance ie. taking care that you look nice and are neat and clean.

It is referring to being “puffed up” and “full of yourself” and your own importance ie a haughty attitude whereby you estimate yourself or your contribution to society, higher than you ought to. (Eg you yourself sing about yourself, “incase no one noticed!”)

Which type of twist ending involves a character that is revealed to be related to the main character?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

D. reversal of identity

Explanation:

Twist endings are unexpected endings in literatute, films, plays etc. Everything becomes clear and is shown to be contrary to the thing expected.

It is usually said that there are five basic reversals.

1) reversal of identity - a person revealed to be somebody else

2) reversal of motive - character's motivation is the opposite of previously assumed

3) reversal of perception - things aren't the way character thought they were

4) reversal of fortune - a mistake, misunderstanding or a coincidence changes the character's situation

5) reversal of fulfilment - one character stops another from acheiving the goal in very last minutes

Now, this particular case is most likely an example of reversal of identity - a person thought to be someone else is revealed to be close to the main character. We can gind example of this when King Oedipus realizes that his lover is actually his mother.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

During the whole of this time, Scrooge had acted like a man out of his wits. His heart and soul were in the scene, and with his former self. He corroborated everything, remembered everything, enjoyed everything, and underwent the strangest agitation. It was not until now, when the bright faces of his former self and Dickinson were turned from them, that he remembered the Ghost, and became conscious that it was looking full upon him, while the light upon its head burnt very clear.
