Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question would be:

"But the real angler continues, regardless of the local sage. He who has heard the line sing suddenly out of his reel, and, after a hard-fought hour, scooped a six-pound black bass into the landing net, weary, but still "game," is not dismayed by bad luck. He who can cast a fly a hundred feet or more finds pleasure in that, if not in fishing. Whoever has taken in a muskellunge of any size will ever after troll patiently, even through masses of weed. Whoever has leaned over the side of a sailboat, peering down into the green, crystalline waters of the Gulf, and seen, twenty feet down, the shimmering sides of a fifteen-pound red grouper, firmly hooked and coming, will never turn over sleepily, for a last nap, when his door is almost broken in at 5 A.M.

What is the purpose of the author's use of diction in describing the sight of a red grouper? A) The author uses figurative language to evoke the beautiful sight of a grouper. B) The author uses sarcasm to describe how futile trying to catch a grouper can be. C) The author uses negative diction to continue his mocking of fishing for unshelled fish. D) The author uses positive evocative language to describe the wonder of catching a grouper. "

Answer:

D) The author uses positive evocative language to describe the wonder of catching a grouper.

Explanation:

The speaker wants to have a very pleasant and comfortable feeling about picking a grouper, so the author of the text decided to describe this moment in positive evocative language, so the reader would imagine that picking a grouper is a wonderful and fun situation, capable of causing great sensations.

The role of diction in the literature is to convey a certain mood, tone and atmosphere by choosing the author of the words. Thus, we can state that in the text above, the purpose of the author's use of diction is to use positive evocative language to describe the wonder of picking a grouper.

If f(x)=(x+3)³+4<br> let g(x)=f(x+1)-2<br> find when g(x)=12
Alla [95]

Answer:

Explanation:

g(x) = f(x + 1) - 2

g(x) = (x + 1 + 3)^3 -2

g(x) = (x + 4)^3 - 2

Now what are we supposed to do with this? I'm guessing we are to find what value of x will make g(x) = 12. If I'm wrong, leave a note in the form of a comment.

g(x) = 12

(x + 4)^3 - 2 = 12                 Add 2 to both sides.

(x + 4)^3 = 14                      Take the cube root of both sides.

x + 4 = cubrt(14)

x + 4 = 2.4101                      Subtract 4

x = 2.4101 - 4

x = -1.5899
