Which line in this excerpt from Richard Connell's “The Most Dangerous Game” uses personification? "The old charts call it `Ship-

Trap Island,"' Whitney replied. “A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition—-" "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht. "You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh, "andI've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night." "Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

If an applicant has extensive training, numerous scholastic accomplishments, a high level of community involvement, and no work
Alexandra [31]
A functional/hybrid resume would be more appropriate in this case. chronological order is usually most helpful when detailing work experience, so a potential employer can see where you worked and for how long, so it isn't as easy to apply chronological order to your community involvement or extensive training. what's more appropriate in this case is to emphasize your skills and accomplishments, which is what a functional resume does.

Choose the pair of words that best completes this analogy: distant : intimate :: morose : joyous friendly : pleasant kilometer :
Ymorist [56]
Since <em>distant:intimate </em>are words that have opposite meanings, you need to find another pair of words with the same quality.
The correct answer is morose:joyous, because those two words mean different things.
