What choice does Welles make that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it

English

Answer:

I believe the choice Welles makes that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it is happening live is:

D. He changes the verbs to present tense.

Explanation:

In 1938, future filmmaker Orson Welles broadcast a special Halloween episode on radio featuring an adaptation of the novel War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells. The novel narrates a fictional invasion on Earth by Martians.

<u>Welles made it seem as if the bits of the novel he was reading were actually news bulletins, interrupting the normal broadcast of music now and then with new details concerning an invasion. To make it sound more realistic, as if the events are happening live, he narrates them using the present tense. The excerpt below belongs to a transcription of the broadcast. Pay attention to the verbs:</u>

<em> Ladies and gentlemen, we</em><em> interrupt</em><em> our program of dance music to bring  you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News. At twenty minutes before eight,  central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, </em><em>reports </em><em> observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet  Mars. The spectroscope</em><em> indicates</em><em> the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with  enormous velocity. Professor Pierson of the Observatory at Princeton confirms Farrell's  observation, and </em><em>describes</em><em> the phenomenon as  "like a jet of blue flame shot from a gun".</em>

<u>By using the present tense, the narrator conveys a sense of immediacy, as if the events are taking place in real time.</u>

What theme does Whitman develop in poem 6 of “Song of Myself”?
Grace [21]

In Walt Whitman's Poem 6, "Song of Myself" he there discusses the cyclical nature of life. The theme of his poem is;

  • Life has no real beginning or end; instead, it is a continuous circle.

When a young child asked Walt Whitman what the grass he had with him meant, instead of giving a straightforward answer, he made several speculations about the meaning of the grass.

For example, he reflected on how death brings forth new life. Grass sprang from compost.

Therefore, there was no real beginning or end. Life was cyclical in nature.

The vines were in a tangle. I stepped into the middle of them.
Morgarella [4.7K]
A past participle is a form of verbs that, if formed regularly, has the form of "stem+ed".

The past participle of "tangle" is "tangled" and the sentence with the past participle is:


I stepped into the middle of the tangled vines.


(actually the last sentence also has a past participle in it, but not only, so I am not choosing it).
