This is all pretty subjective because one person may have one type of a feeling about this extract, and the other person may have completely different feelings.
For me personally, this simile creates a gloomy mood. The simile 'the hollow halo it was in was like an icy crystal cup' creates a gloomy and cold atmosphere in my opinion.

Read the excerpt from Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms.
Vinvika [58]

Answer: D. indirect characterization

Explanation:

Direct characterization occurs when an author directly tells us about the character's personality traits. Indirect characterization, as its name suggests, happens when an author gives us an insight into a character's personality through the way the character speaks, thinks, looks, etc. In this particular excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's<em> Farewell to Arms</em> (1929), the character's personality is shown through his behavior towards the drivers. He gives them each a package of cigarettes and explains the plan to them, which demonstrates his generosity. In this excerpt, therefore, Hemingway develops the narrator through indirect characterization.

Which sentence from "The Interlopers" is written in passive voice?A."In a forest of mixed growth somewhere on the eastern spurs
Helga [31]

Answer:

The answer is: C. A fierce shriek of the storm had been answered by a splitting crash over their heads…

Explanation:

Passive voice is often used to emphasize a verb or the object in a sentence. In active voice, emphasis is made on the subject i.ethe doer of the action but in passive voice, the verb or subject is emphasized.

Passive voice could also show that the subject in that case is either not too important or we don't know what or who the subject is.

A way to identify passive voice is to observe what happened and what the subject in the text is. If the subject i.e the doer is omitted or occurs after the action has taken place, it's a passive voice. Sometimes you can also identify it by looking at the verb. If it's in past participle, as in "had been" (used in option C), it's passive voice.

The presence of "by" (also present in option C), which also turns the position of object to subject is also an indicator of passive voice.
