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 dismayed by bad luck. He who can cast a fly a hundred feet or more finds pleasure in that, if not in fishing. Whoever has taken in a muskellunge of any size will ever after troll patiently, even through masses of weed. Whoever has leaned over the side of a sailboat, peering down into the green, crystalline waters of the Gulf, and seen, twenty feet down, the shimmering sides of a fifteen-pound red grouper, firmly hooked and coming, will never turn over sleepily, for a last nap, when his door is almost broken in at 5 A.M.
What is the purpose of the author's use of diction in describing the sight of a red grouper?

A) The author uses figurative language to evoke the beautiful sight of a grouper.

B) The author uses sarcasm to describe how futile trying to catch a grouper can be.

C) The author uses negative diction to continue his mocking of fishing for unshelled fish.

D) The author uses positive evocative language to describe the wonder of catching a grouper.

E) The author uses exaggeratedly studious language to give the impression of a personified grouper.

Here’s your answer :-
Q1- In addition to her role as an agricultural goddess, Demeter was often worshiped more generally as a goddess of the earth
Q2- Demophon, in Greek mythology, the son of Celeus, king of Eleusis. According to the Homeric hymn to Demeter, the goddess Demeter, wandering in search of her daughter Persephone, became Demophon’s nurse. As an act of kindness to those who had sheltered her, she attempted to immortalize him by burning out his mortal parts but was surprised in the act by his mother, who thought that she was harming the boy. Incensed, Demeter quickly withdrew the child from the fire, thus leaving him susceptible to death. In another version, related by the mythographer Apollodorus, the surprise resulted in Demophon’s death in the flames. Shortly thereafter Demeter departed from Eleusis. A different Demophon, a son of Theseus, took part with his brother Acamas in the siege of Troy.

Q3- Zeus finally intervened because he noticed that Demeter was not granting a fertile harvest so he wanted the people to get their harvest so he made the plan to allow Persephone to let her see her mother sometimes. Many myths offer a story that explains why things in nature are as they are.
