Answer:

B). I heard the pop and hiss of eggs in a pan coming from the kitchen.

E). As I sped up, the pavement under my feet offered less and less resistance until I felt like I was flying.

Explanation:

The chief concern of an author while writing is to behold the readers' interest and keep it intact until the end of the description. They employ words or diction in a manner that helps appeal to the senses of the readers and develop their interest in the narrative.

As per the question, the options B and E employs the description that holds the interest of the readers as it includes the sensory details and descriptions like 'pop', 'hiss', 'sped up', 'pavement under my feet', 'felt', etc. that helps the audience to visualize the representation or description and keep their interest unblemished. Thus, <u>options B and E</u> are the correct answer.

Why do writers use appositives and appositive phrases in their writing?
Mnenie [13.5K]
Appositives help with description. Appositives consist of nouns, or noun phrases, that help to define the term they are used with. For example, in the sentence "John, the barber, cut the Mayor's hair today," the appositive is "the barber." It helps the sentence make sense by defining John's role. If you did not know John was a barber, you would probably be very confused as to why he is cutting the Mayor's hair! It also helps you specify different terms that can be applied generally. For example, if you just say, "The tree  is beautiful," you are not really creating an adequate picture in your reader's mind. If you say, "The tree, a weeping willow, is beautiful." Here, your appositive, "a weeping willow," gives your reader more information and paints a clearer picture for them. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

A). His heart that trembles at the beam/ Of her soul-searching eyes.

Explanation:

Mood is defined as the atmosphere that the author creates in his work using specific words and descriptions in order to evoke a particular emotional state or feeling among the readers. In this question, the first quotation i.e. 'his heart...eyes' displays an affectionate mood as the descriptions like 'his heart trembles' and 'of her soul-searching eyes' signifies that there is a love and devotion towards each other. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
