Excerpt from Ain't I A Woman? Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) 2 That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages

, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman? Which device or technique does the author employ in paragraph 2 with her repetition of the phrase "Ain't I a woman?" A) alliteration B) onomatopoeia C) personification D) rhetorical question

Which word group best completes the sentence without introducing an inappropriate shift in tense? After the storm blew the pecan
Firlakuza [10]
The correct answer is D, because that is the only appropriate shift in tense. A isn't correct because present perfect tense (have raced) is used inappropriately, when it should have been past perfect. B is also incorrect because past perfect means that that action happened before the storm blew, which is not the case. C features future continuous tense, which is impossible due to shift in tense. Therefore, the answer is D, because there is an appropriate tense in that sentence, past simple.

Which statement best summarizes the central theme of the text?
Mila [183]

Answer:

C) Hard work and pride in one's work are more important than outward success.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from "The Dancer's Dream," the narrator describes how Lily felt before auditioning in front of people. Moreover, the passage reveals her determination, her acceptance, and her realization of what's more important.

When Lily realized that <em>"her dream had already come true. She was a ballerina dancing on a stage . . . doing what she loved and the people she loved the most were there to see it"</em>, she knows she's achieved her goal no matter what the outcome of the audition may be. To her, being able to dance on a stage in front of her parents and Miss Emilie is the only thing important, worthy of every practice and long hours she'd spent.

This passage expresses the <u>central claim that hard work and pride in one's work matters more than outward success that measures one's efforts</u>. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
