This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.
Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?
- Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
- A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
- A simile creates a visual image for the reader.
- Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch
Answer:
The right answer is option 4.
Explanation:
IMAGERY: it is figurative language used to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. E.g. Time is slipping through my fingers.
In this excerpt, taken from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller, the answer that best describes the imagery is option number four "sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch".
The options that apply to this question would be:
- I do an Internet search
- I go to the library
- I ask a teacher for help / I talk to a friend or family member.
The last option depends on the topic or question given to do the research, in some cases, asking the teacher for help would be the most reliable way to get good information for your research BUT theres also questions/topics that a family member or even your friend have knowledge of or may have experienced a similar situation to the topic/question making them a more reliable source for your research, so in conclusion the last option <em>varies depending on </em> the situation/topic/questions given to make your research.
Hope this answer helps you:)!
The time has come for me to make my journey into the desert. I am only eighteen. But, all children my age am required to make the journey to be accepted as adult members of the community. The village chief told me that it was very important to take plenty of water and materials to build a tent.
The mission seems long and hard. I taste the fresh water from my canteen and the sun feel too hot to bear. I travel many days and many nights.
After seven days, I return home with relief. As I arrive back at my village, the villagers appear so proud of me.
Hope this helps you:))
The correct answer is 4) A logical appeal based on facts and reason.
An argument has to be based on facts which are correct - you shouldn't base your argument on incorrect information because then you will look stupid. Also, you should apply reason why forming an argument in order to make it sound sane and plausible for everyone to understand and perhaps agree with you.
