The correct answer is option letter C: It emphasizes the excessive opulence of the decor. Taken from the short story “<em>The Masque of the Red Death</em>” by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe (1842), the purpose of using parallelism in this excerpt is to <u>emphasize the opulent, colourful décor of the rooms</u>. Parallelism is a method of writing in which similarly constructed clauses or sentences are arranged in a pairing sequence suggesting some correspondence between them. In this case, the repeated pairing sequence mentioning the colours is “<em>through the … to the …</em>” (through the blue chamber to the purple—through the purple to the green—through the green to the orange—through this again to the white). Moreover, parallelism helps emphasize the importance of the colours, since they also portray the progression of life and its different stages in a symbolic way (blue: birth/ purple: youth/ green: adolescence/ orange: adulthood/ white: old age/ violet: imminent death).

Act as a critic and describe, in your own words: Does this poem achieve its purpose? Why or why not? Your answer should be at le
nignag [31]

Such was the impact of poet Ingrid Jonker that decades after her death in 1965, the late Nelson Mandela read her poem, The Child who Was Shot Dead by Soldiers at Nyanga, at the opening of the first democratic Parliament on 24 May 1994.

“The time will come when our nation will honour the memory of all the sons, the daughters, the mothers, the fathers, the youth and the children who, by their thoughts and deeds, gave us the right to assert with pride that we are South Africans, that we are Africans and that we are citizens of the world,” he said 20 years ago.

“The certainties that come with age tell me that among these we shall find an Afrikaner woman who transcended a particular experience and became a South African, an African and a citizen of the world. Her name is Ingrid Jonker. She was both a poet and a South African. She was both an Afrikaner and an African. She was both an artist and a human being.”

She had written the poem following a visit to the Philippi police station to see the body of a child who had been shot dead in his mother’s arms by the police in the township of Nyanga in Cape Town. It happened in the aftermath of the massacre of 69 people in Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg, in March 1960. They were marching to the police station to protest against having to carry passbooks.

Excerpt from: Norse Mythology Part D Kate McConnaughey (34) And in a hall far brighter than Woden’s Valhalla, the brave warriors
nikitadnepr [17]

<span>B) And in a hall far brighter than Woden’s Valhalla, the brave and good will be gathered forever.</span>

 

<span>Answer “B” is correct because the way the sentence originally appears is with an error in parallelism.  For a sentence to be parallel, it should have list items (note that a list/series is two or more items) appear with same/similar grammatical elements.  The original—“brave warriors and those who were good—consists of an adjective|noun (brave|warriors) followed by and adjective|pronoun|verb|adjective (thoses|who|were|good), which is thus not paralle.  To correct this, as well as make this more concise, you can just use adjectives—“brave” and “good”—and that will make this sentence’s list parallel.   </span>
