Wallace uses dialogue to show the conflict that can occur between inner perceptions of self and outside perceptions of self.

Answer: The right answer is the D) Wallace uses dialogue to show the conflict that can occur between inner perceptions of self and outside perceptions of self.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this extract from Wallace's famous novel, <em>Infinite Jest</em>, the author is primarily using dialogue in order to show the conflict that can occur when an inner perception of yourself differs from the perceptions that others have of you. The dialogue here, however, takes the form of a soliloquy, since the character is the only one talking. The character is voicing out loud what he seems to be thinking, in an attempt to defend himself from an alleged accusation - "I am not just a jock," "The grades are mine," "I cannot make myself understood." The use of direct speech makes the text more vivid. The author is using neither objective facts nor characters' actions, so options A and B should be discarded. He is not using descriptions either, so option C should be discarded too.

The statements you can use for the Two Truths and a Lie about Act I of "Macbeth" are:

1. In Act I, Macbeth meets with three witches. - TRUE

2. In Act I, it is revealed that Macbeth and Banquo are enemies. - FALSE

3. In Act I, we learn that Lady Macbeth is more ambitious than her husband. - TRUE

  • "Macbeth" is a tragic play by William Shakespeare. Macbeth leaves a trail of murders behind him as he tries to ascend to the throne and become king of Scotland.
  • The sentences above are all based on Act I of the play. Two of them are true and one is a lie.
  • It is true that Macbeth meets with three witches who give him strange, ambiguous prophesies.
  • It is also true that Macbeth's wife is much more ambitious than he is. She is the one who encourages him to murder the king when Macbeth is already giving up on the plan.
  • However, it is not true that Macbeth and Banquo are enemies. They are friends in Act I, and they fight side by side in the battle.
  • In conclusion, all the sentences above are based on the events of Act I of "Macbeth".

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

1.) Sequential

2.)The mood become Frantic

3.) Problem and Solution

Explanation:

1.) After, Meanwhile and Eventually, are all transition words when telling a story so sequential would be the best answer because it's telling the story in an order.

2.) The lady goes from calm and collect waiting for the checkout but when reaching into her purse and finding her wallet gone she gets very panicked and scared not knowing where it is. So the mood become Frantic as she searches.

3.) Rosa describes how she stood up for herself. But also she wonders would could've happened if the others had stayed. She describes the problem and and it might have not been the solution the other three had wanted. but the solution for Rosa was it would've helped support her stand up for black rights. So it's problem solution
