Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Burning a Book" by William Stafford.
In this poem, the author employs a free verse structure in the poem. This means that the author does not follow a strict rhyming pattern. The main theme of the poem is that ignorance and lack of new ideas are great threats to society. He claims that this is even worse than burning a book:<em> "More disturbing than book ashes are whole libraries that no one got around to writing." </em>Therefore, the author encourages innovation, ingenuity and creativity. This is emphasized by the free verse that the author employs.
Sad and stingy probably would not work in this situation, but sly and mean are possibilities. Although either could be correct, I would go with sly, which means they are sneaky and conniving. I’m not a 100% sure, but I believe sly is the best answer. I hope this helps!
Answer:
B. Fact
Explanation:
The highlighted text is a "fact" because it is expressing a statement that is real and is backed by evidence. For example, it states that <em>"water is a basic human right.</em>" This is, indeed, an "objective reality." It also states that<u> only 15% of the residents in the poor villages of Africa have access to drinking water.</u> This is backed by evidence that <em>the nearest drinking water is within a mile. </em>
The statement is<em> not a rhetorical question</em> because it is not asking anything. It is also <em>not a band wagon appea</em>l because it <em>doesn't persuade</em> the reader to do anything or to think about something. It is simply stating a "fact."
So, this explains the answer.
It allows the reader to see how the character came to be who he or she is currently, it creates realism in the text, it creates tension between the narrator and the character, etc.
