The simile here clearly indicates this sentiment:

C. A postponed dream can become something difficult to carry.

Explanation:

The sentiment here is between the ability of a load to sag. Any load can only sag when it is being carried. It cannot sag when it is in a state of stasis.

Thus, with this out of the way we can see that the sentence that would explain this simile will have the load being carried by the carrier who sees and notices the sag it has induced.

This is well found in the line where the dream is postponed and thus carried in the conscience of the person that makes it heavy. If the dream is expressed it would not be sagged but it is not.

Ovid creates a tense situation, as Thisbe does not realize that <br> .
stepan [7]

Answer:

Ovid creates a tense situation as Thisbe does not realize that <em><u>Pyramus is dying</u></em>.

Explanation:

Ovid's "Pyramus and Thisbe" is a Babylonian love story that revolves around the two lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe. But the story turned tragic after Pyramus discovered a bloodied cloak that belonged to Thisbe and so killed himself.

In the given lines from the story, we can see Thisbe returning to meet Pyramus and tell him about the close escape she had with the lioness. Ovid creates a tense situation in this scene because we already know what Pyramus had done which Thisbe is not privy to.

So, Ovid creates a tense situation as Thisbe does not realize that her love Pyramus is dying.

Didnt include works cited the underlines are intentional pls what would you grade this pls i need answer fast
Fiesta28 [93]

OVERALL GRADE: 3 ; too many grammar mistakes.


FEEDBACK/"FIXES":

<em>Hook:</em> Change it to: "Breakfast, anyone? How about more sleep and better grades? These seem appealing, right? These are just a few benefits of school convening later in the day."

<em>Claim/Thesis:</em> Change it to: "The school day should begin at 9:45 AM because it would allow students additional time to prepare for their school day; they would be better rested, perform better, and engage more in physical activities."

<em>Evidence/Reasoning #1:</em> Change it to: "After all, students' brains are still asleep when it's early in the morning. Schools that start at 9:00 AM or later allow students the opportunity to get the recommended amount of sleep [8.5 - 9.5 hours.]"


Okay I have to go now but I hope what I provided helps.

In his text Rhetoric, Aristotle writes,"...persuasion may come through the hearers, when the speech stiffs their emotions."
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Pathos.

Explanation:

Aristotle's text Rhetoric primarily discusses the 'art of persuasive speech.' He offered three distinct modes of persuasion namely ethos, pathos, and logos that the authors can employ to convince their audience in various ways. Ethos stands for 'an ethical appeal that persuades the audience ethically' while 'logos' aim to convince them logically and 'Pathos' is demonstrated as the appeal that convinces the audience by eliciting their emotions. the author employs descriptive language to arouse the audience's emotions and elicit the desired response and acceptance from them.
