Answer:
The author challenges readers, which makes readers question their own views on protecting sequoias.
Explanation:
The impact of the author's choice to begin the article with those two sentences was to challenge the reader to question their views about protecting sequoias.
The first sentence began by saying that we are often told that the world is deteriorating because of love of money (sacrifice to mormon) and that every sequoia he knows is "waving its branches for joy" because it has heard the good news about the defending of trees.
This fear can spread rapidly and is not limited to those experiencing the event directly—others that are affected include family members of victims and survivors, and people who are exposed through broadcast images. Psychological suffering is usually more prevalent than the physical injuries from a terrorism event. Understanding these psychological consequences is critical to the nation's efforts to develop intervention strategies at the pre-event, event, and post-event phases that will limit the adverse psychological effects of terrorism.
The correct answers are the following:
- The literary technique best illustrated by the quotation is (A) Alliteration. Alliteration is a literary device that consists of the repetition of a consonant sound at the beginning of words or stressed syllables of close proximity. The words "full, fadom, feet, five and father" begin with the sound /f/.
- The rhyme scheme of the octave of a Petrarchan sonnet is (A) abba/abba. The first eight lines almost always follow this rhyme scheme.
- The literary technique best illustrated by the quotation is (B) Allusion. Allusion, in literature, is a figure of speech that consists in a reference to a person, thing, place or event.
The word choices create a reflective and solemn tone—- encouraging the reader to think about old age and loss… it is melancholy and sad to think about what will not be any more.
