Illusion [34]

Read the excerpt from part 1 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge."

He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. “If I could free my hands,” he thought, “I might throw off the noose and spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home. My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader’s farthest advance.”

As these thoughts, which have here to be set down in words, were flashed into the doomed man’s brain rather than evolved from it the captain nodded to the sergeant. The sergeant stepped aside.

Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction?

A.) The prisoner will escape.

B.) The prisoner will beg for mercy.

C.) The execution will commence.

D.) The sergeant will stop the hanging.

Answer:

From the excerpt, the most reasonable plot prediction would be that C.) The execution will commence.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, there are some pieces of evidence which support the idea that the execution will commence.

First, the man is tied up and is thinking of escape from the place by believing that if he could free his hands and dive in to the water, he could "evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home".

Secondly, the second paragraph calls him a "doomed man" and then the captain nodded to the sergeant who stepped aside apparently in signal for the preparation of the execution to begin.

Lines 1-3 of the poem include a simile, a comparison between two unlike things that uses the word like or as. What idea does the
kozerog [31]

Hello. You didn't attach the poem or even say the title of the poem, which makes it impossible for me to answer your question accurately, but I will help you as much as I can by showing you how to find your answer.

The simile makes comparisons between elements that have different contexts, but that has a characteristic between both that can be related creating a new meaning and concept between one of these elements. In other words, the simile aims to show a concept shared between two different elements. This type of comparison, within a poem, can create a message pattern, where the entire poem is aimed at maintaining the tone that the simile projected during the comparison.

An example of this can be seen in the phrase "My heart fell in life like a star wounded by a hunter's arrow," where the hunter's heart and arrow are different elements, but promote the feeling of pain and sadness when compared.

Answer: to watch

Explanation: The gerund is defined as a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun, in English ending in -ing. The infinitive is defined as the basic form of a verb, without an inflection binding it to a particular subject or tense. So, choose the -ing word (watching) and make it the infinitive (to watch).
