English
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

This gives the reader a sense of the burden that the men are bearing in carrying these things. Much attention is given to the weight and pressure the soldiers feel from what they're carrying and from external forces, such as nature.

Explanation:

"They carried the sky. The whole atmosphere...they carried gravity." But the greatest weight the men feel comes from nothing they can physically carry, but rather their emotions: "Grief, terror, love, longing these were intangibles, but the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight.

Read the following passage:
EastWind [94]

Answer:

A) The two cultures end up sharing traditions and advancements peacefully

Explanation:

Let's go through this by process of elimination.

A) The two cultures end up sharing traditions and advancements  peacefully

This would ease the tension and the suspense in the cultural conflict of the story.

B) The narrator's people form an insulated community to preserve  their heritage

This would ease the tension, however, the suspense of an attack would create commotion and suspense.

C) The narrator fights to regain the land that once belonged to his  people.

This would NOT decrease the cultural conflict in this story.

D) The narrator convinces his people to let go of their traditions and

embrace progress.​

This would create tension throughout the people as the narrator attempts to convince them to let go.

<h2><em>I am unsure of the answer, as it could be either A or D, but I would choose option A. </em></h2>

He came over the hill and through the garden.
NeTakaya

Answer:

<u>through</u> and <u>over</u>

Explanation:

To answer this question, you must first understand what a <em>preposition</em> is. You can think of a preposition like a connector of words. Typically followed by a noun, prepositions give you additional information about said object. For example, the words <u>through</u> and <u>over</u>, in this case, tells you where "he" went, which is in the garden and the hill.

Hope this helps! :)
