Then the animals assailed the donkey for spoiling what could possibly have been a pleasure to them, on a mere suspicion that the

picture was not beautiful, without any evidence that such was the case. The donkey was not troubled; he was calm, and said there was one way to find out who was in the right, himself or the cat: he would go and look in that hole, and come back and tell what he found there. The animals felt relieved and grateful, and asked him to go at once—which he did.
What is the effect of Twain's use of "telling language" and indirect dialogue, rather than "showing language" and direct dialogue, in this part of the fable?

A.This technique allows Twain to create an image in readers' minds so that readers can fill out the scene with their own imaginations.

B.This technique allows Twain to compress the conversation into fewer words and move on to a more interesting part of the story.

C.This technique allows Twain to make his own comments on the scene, through the words of the narrator.

D.This technique allows Twain to add humor to the scene by concentrating on the animals' actions rather than their words.

The correct answer is B.

Using indirect dialogue allows Twain to compress and shorten the conversation. By using fewer words (instead of including the exact dialogue), Twain can keep the scene short and move on to a more interesting part of the story.

If the dialogue were written out exactly as it was spoken, it would take a lot longer to read, since many animals are speaking to the donkey in this scene.

Select the correct texts in the passage.
Eva8 [605]

The detail that is emphasized in the text but not the Image is this:

  • The capacity of short-term memory can be increased through chunking, In which Information Is organized grouped into meaningful units or divisions.

<h3>What information is emphasized in the text and not the passage?</h3>

In the text, we are told that short-term memory can be increased through chunking. The text goes on to explain what chunking is. This information is not represented in the image. In the image, we can not see how the capacity of the short-term memory can be increased.

We only see some arrows pointing to and from the box but nothing indicates an increase in capacity. So we can safely conclude that the detail that is emphasized in the text but not the image is: the option selected above.
