Answer:

B. Imaginative and Dark.

Explanation:

To be imaginative means to be creative - with words, in this case.

The use of metaphorical comparisons in the excerpt is an example of an imaginative technique. Phrases such as "Silence of the grave", "Cradle of life", and "Opening his curtains" are examples of these metaphors.

The dark tone comes when the character begins to awaken, as they slowly discover their horrid appearance.

Read the resolution and the affirmative claim.
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Students attending college in the US spend an average of nearly $26,000 a year for tuition and fees.

Explanation:

In the given resolution and the affirmative claim, the main idea is that of college education and the fees. The speaker talks of the need for a free college education for every student.

In support of the claim, the speaker provides a resolution that the United States should make higher education free of cost. And to support the claim that <em>"the average cost of college has nearly tripled, making a college degree unobtainable for many"</em>, the best piece of evidence is sentence 2. Mentioning the amount of money required for attending college will provide the best evidence of the difficult conditions for getting a college degree.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

makkiz [27]
I would say either A, or B. But I think B because it is giving you the setting of where this is taking place. So you wouldn't expect to all of a sudden see pirates right? You would more expect to hear of a lost civilization or see a camel walk past. It's basically getting you into the mindset of where the story's taking place and what to expect next. <span />
