Question

Every word in this paragraph begins with "they." Bradbury does this purposefully. What is the effect? "They stood as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor. They looked at each other and then looked away. They glanced out at the world that was raining now and raining and raining steadily. They could not meet each other’s glances. Their faces were solemn and pale. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down." Question 17 options: a) There is no effect; it is poor grammar. b) It emphasizes the children as one entity. c) It causes the reader to feel the children's slowed motion. d) Both B and C.

Answer 1

Answer:

b) It emphasizes the children as one entity.

Explanation:

When the Bradbury uses "they" for the two characters, it showcases how the two people act as one. They do all the same things together; therefore they are connected and very close to one another.
