Answer: D) figurative language.

Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It can be expressed through metaphors, similes, personifications, allusions, etc. In the given passage, James Baldwin is most clearly using figurative language as a rhetorical device, because the way he describes the consequences of slapping a child in anger, is not meant to be taken literally.

In “The Little Red Tortoise,” why does the little red tortoise choose to try to defeat the giraffe?
uranmaximum [27]

The little red turtle tries to defeat the giraffe by clinging to the throat of this one, since it wants to charge all the lives of the other turtles, so the text says:

 'Peep! Pip! "Said the little Red, and he kept his hard beak bent too. He thought: "No, too many of my nation have sailed this red sloot, I will not let it go.

But there does not end everything, the turtle tried to hurt the giraffe until he manages to drown her in the sand and kill her, and then go home to tell her about her mamma. His mom was very proud, because that way the nation would be at peace.

here the text:

"I tell you, baasjes, Oubaas Giraffe danced and pranced over the veld; I have screamed and bellowed; I have gurgled and swallowed; I tried to get the little Red Tortoise down, and I tried to get him up; but it was not use The little Red One clung fast to him till he was removed choked, and sank down in the sand and died.

"Then the little Red Tortoise crawled out, and went home to tell his Mam-ma that he had killed Oubaas Giraffe and that his nation could have peace again. Ach! but she was proud of him!

Tamiku [17]

In the book, "Harrison Bergeron," humanity is in a dystopian society where there is an emphasis on equality such that people who have an edge over others and given handicaps to bring them level with the rest of the population.

George here is being made to wear a mental handicap that limits his use of his above average intelligence. George is therefore unable to grow intellectually because of the handicap forced on him to promote uniformity and equality.

How does the setting shape the writer's portrayal of the plot? Explain, citing details about the historical context. A soldier f
GrogVix [38]

The setting of a story refers to the place and time where the events in a story occurred. The setting of the story, "Soldier for a Crown" is in a ship of redeemed slaves headed to Nova Scotia. The timing of the events was during the American Revolution when some African slaves escaped from their masters to join the British troops. The setting shaped the portrayal of the plot by serving as an exposition into the story.

  • The exposition is the background of a story that the author builds on. In this story by Charles Johnson, the setting serves as a background description of why the slaves were bound to Nova Scotia.

  • It was the period of the American Revolution. Slaves who joined the British troops were rewarded by being freed of slavery.

  • Thus, we see the story begin with a description of the former slaves aboard a ship en route to Nova Scotia.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

1) No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

2) There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.
