I am not really sure that I know what the answer is.
The answer is D

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read this excerpt from james baldwin's "notes of a native son":the day of my father's funeral had also been my nineteenth birthday. as we drove him to the graveyard, the spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all around us. it seemed to me that god himself had devised, to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally dissonant of codas. and it seemed to me, too, that the violence which rose all about us as my father left the world had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest son.which sentence best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose?
a.it ties baldwin's father's funeral to his birthday and shows that the author is angry that his father died on that day. b.it compares a term signifying the end of a musical piece with his father's death to illustrate the finality of death. c.it contrasts the somber mood of a funeral procession with the happy memories baldwin has about his father. d.it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
Answer:
d. it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
Explanation:
The text above was taken from the autobiography of a black author, who wanted to show the violence, intolerance and injustices that racism caused in a society. He presents these themes well in the excerpt shown above, where the structure allows the author to interweave elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hate is destructive and how it shook his family and transformed a moment of celebration into a moment of mourning.
Answer:
1. Include hooks and details to keep the reader wanting more and more of your content.
2. Use sensory details in your statement.
Example of sensory details in statement: I place a bite of the baked mac and cheese in my mouth and a bomb of flavor bursted in my mouth. Gooey, melty, warm cheese with pepper on top felt like heaven as it hit my tongue.
Reading about the mac and cheese might make you want some of it right then and there on the spot. That's how you know you made the reader want more and put good sensory details.

I hope this helps! :D
C. You're generating words that suggest possible sentences or paragraphs.
A prewriting activity for writing an essay, research paper or even a project is webbing. In webbing, you brainstorm various key words to suggest possible sentences or paragraphs. Often there is some order to webbing because you use lines and circles to connect ideas that are similar. Also, the main topic of the essay is in the center with all the subtopics and ideas radiating out. There is no chronological order to the webbing, and the web should be large enough to help with the entire essay, not just the theme.
