Answer:

O A. The theme is mythology, and the historical context is the preoccupation with origins and "roots."

Explanation:

As given in the passage, the critic states that the main purpose of J. R. R. Tolkien in creating the world of "The Lord of the Rings" was to provide a mythological world for the English-speaking people. While there are numerous Greek and Norse myths since ancient times, there seems to be none for the English-speaking people.

And in doing so, Tolkien has managed to provide a whole myth for them through the world of "The Lord of the Rings". This identifies with the theme of mythology that the people want for themselves according to the myths of the ancient Greeks and Norse. At the same time, the historical context seems to be the society's preoccupation with the idea of the origins and "roots" of the people and the need to align themselves with such myths that they can call or accept as theirs.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Based on this passage from The Scarlett Ibis,

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

B. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east...

Explanation:

Imagery is a tool many writers use to help their readers visualize what is going on in the story. Using figurative and descriptive language, they describe things in a way that appeals to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This makes the story more vivid, making it feel more real.

The phrase that is not an example of sensory imagery is phrase B. It simply tells us about an occurrence. It doesn't contain any details that could appeal to our senses, unlike other phrases. The first phrase helps us imagine withered crops dying because of the heat; the second describes how the narrator's father cursed, and the third makes us picture two young boys teasing each other and giggling on their way back home.

This is why option B is the correct one.
