The correct answer is D.

In this excerpt of "The Final Assault" by Sir Edmund Hillary, the author is trying to provide information about the risk they were facing.

This is done by the deliverate usage of vocabulary. The author explicitly says that they were on "dangerous ground", explaining that the hill were they were walking was too soft and deep. Because of this, he had no way to tie himself to the ground, which means that if he were to make a wrong move, he would not be secured to anything and would fall.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

<em>Saturday, June 18th 2022</em>

As I was taking my daily walk through the park, I saw a baby bird stumbling as it tried to get up and fly. I assumed that it had fallen out of his nest in the tree above. It looked so pitiful as it tried to fly again. It broke my heart. As I picked the baby bird up to examine why he couldn't fly, there I saw it. He had broken his wing. Carefully I took him home and showed my mother the bird, and she helped me patch up its wing. Tomorrow my mother and I will be taking him to the vet to make sure he gets the proper care he needs and is fully out of danger. We named him Bob.

Which sentence has the strongest nouns?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

3.He climbed the trellis to reach the balcony.

Explanation:

Strong nouns help the writer describe and give power to the sentence, this clarifies whet the writer is talking about and how he is talking about it, it describes it better and gives a broader example and a better description of what the writer is talking about. Bland nouns are words that are too simple to describe something, like the colours, green glass building, you already know what are you talking about, but if they tell you swamp colored building, you make a stronger impact on the imagination of your reader.
