A It shows the author’s sympathy for the bandit. B It shows the author’s disdain for the bandit and his actions. C It provides a concrete description of the bandit’s appearance.

Answer: C. It provides a concrete description of the bandit’s appearance.

Explanation: In literature, writers can use a wide variety of words to portray a character's actions or personality. The reader then imagines a scene that is closer to what the writer has in mind. Michelle used the verb "weasel" to contribute to the tone of the sentence, and imply that not only was the bandit passing through women, but he was sneaking and achieving his purpose by rudely making his way and scaping. This choice creates a better description of how he appeared in the scene.

Identify the logical fallacy. If there's one thing we need to make this place a real community, it's a professional baseball tea
adell [148]

Answer/Explanation:

The logical fallacy presented is an ad hominem. The statement tries to prove that voting yes on stadium tax will make you a good person. Those of the opposing argument would have been "unloyal" citizens. This argument proves feelings rather than facts making it an ad hominem.

The phrase, "Voting on the stadium tax is the duty of every loyal citizen" is a true statement. However, adding voting "yes," specifies it to one side. The author then takes it a step further stating "in fact, it is the test of whether you are a good neighbor." In the long run, this implies that if you vote against us, you are a bad person.

What would you say is the principle means of characterization employed by the author? (1 point) Romeo and Juliet emotions though
SOVA2 [1]
I would say that the principle means of characterization employed by the author is dialogue. Since Romeo and Juliet is a play, everything we know actually comes from the conversations, be it a dialogue, or a monologue.
