des ago there was rubble, today in West Berlin there is the greatest industrial output of any city in Germany: busy office blocks, fine homes and apartments, proud avenues, and the spreading lawns of parkland.

Answer:

The correct answer is number <u>1. By creating a contrast between the past and present of West Berlin, the speaker emphasizes his viewpoint.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

In the passage we are analyzing here, the speaker is conveying the idea that West Berlin has risen from the ashes, going from a destroyed post-War city to a rebuilt and thriving place. To do so, the speaker uses parallelism when comparing the past and the present -- "where..., today..." -- as well as examples that support his point -- office blocks, fine homes, universities, orchestras etc. By contrasting both stages, past and present, of Berlin with parallelism, the speaker emphasizes his point of view.

Does the text contain a vague pronoun reference? The airline lost Eve's baggage when she flew to Montreal with her sister last m
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A pronoun is when you define a person with a word by using their gender, like "he, her, him, she," etc. A vague pronoun reference is still a pronoun because it defines someone but does not specifically give their gender. \

For example: "It was very tired."

Now, look back at the text. The pronouns the author used was "she, her." These definitely let us know that Eve is female and so is not a vague pronoun reference.

She's only filled with an old blind wish. It isn't even hers but came to her

Explanation:"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver. The speaker in the poem talks of the beauty and effortlessness of turtle laying eggs in the sand. It's a sacred action, which the turtle itself cannot understand since the drive to do it does not come consciously. It is a purely instinctive drive, guided by nature. The speaker admires the turtle's determination and patience in completing the task while remaining unaware of itself as an individual. The turtle sees itself as the world, and the world as itself.
