The author is most likely trying to emphasize (B.) a theme about how appearances can be deceiving.

The author is presenting an original reversal in<u> character depiction, that is, a literary technique that consists in portraying a character in an opposite way to his stereotype</u>, which is the way in which it is usually portrayed. While in traditional stories and legends the knight in shining armor is depicted as the hero and the dragon is presented as an evil animal and a big menace due to its size, <u>in this story the author pretends to represent the dragon as the good one and the knight as a wicked man</u>. <u>What the writer wants to emphasize is that a dragon can be peaceful and quiet despite the way it looks and a human being can be ruthless in spite of its small size; therefore, appearances can be deceiving. </u>

Alenkinab [10]

The answer: Brain


In Angie's situation, she has her spinal cord intact but still has difficulty walking. Medically, balance, gait and walking require complete functions of the brain and spinal cord. Should her spinal cord and its nerves be intact, the problem lies with the other important factor which is the brain. The brain sends the signals to do any activity.

Which sentence uses an example of figurative language?
Eddi Din [679]

The correct answer should be C. The smell of bacon and eggs was my alarm clock on cold mornings.

To help you in the future, just remember that figurative language is essentially just a statement that isn't literal. In A and B, both of those things actually happened. However, for C, bacon and eggs didn't start ringing an alarm to wake them up.

What is the effect of changing the story to present tense in the radio broadcast version?
Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is B. It makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past

Explanation:

In literature, the tense used in a narrative affect the atmosphere of it and the perception the audience has on events. In the case presented an excerpt for The War of the Worlds has been adapted for radio and in this process, the tense has changed from past to present tense. In both cases, one character who is also the narrator describes the way he or she observed an object or creature that resembled a snake.

However, in the case of the original excerpt the use of past shows this event already occurred and the character is just reporting them, while in the case of the second excerpt the use of present means the character is experiencing the events at that moment or that the story is happening which makes the actions go faster but also makes the story more dynamic and alive. Considering this, it can be concluded the effect of changing the tense to present is that it makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past.
