Why does the

English
1 answer:
777dan777 [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer and Explanation:

The paragraph to which this question refers is the following:

<em>He admitted, however, although with hesitation, that much of the peculiar gloom which thus afflicted him could be traced to a more natural and far more palpable origin—to the severe and long-continued illness—indeed to the evidently approaching dissolution—of a tenderly beloved sister, his sole companion for long years, his last and only relative on earth...</em>

<u>Even though what we have here is indirect speech - the narrator retelling Usher's words -, the author made sure to represent the way in which Usher himself was speaking. He was telling the narrator about his mental state and about a condition he believes he possesses (extreme sensory acuteness, according to him). </u><u>However, once Usher begins to reveal that this condition of his is related to his sister's disease and death, he seems to go out of breath. He interrupts himself, adding details in a hurried way, which is represented by the phrases enclosed by the dashes. Therefore, we can say the author structures these sentence in this way to show Usher's shortness of breath and rushed speech.</u>

What is one method for identifying supporting details? Ask yourself which sentence is the topic sentence. Ask yourself who, what
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Ask yourself which sentence is the topic sentence.

Explanation:

One of the main methods to identify supporting details is to be able <u>to recognize the main idea of the text.</u> This is essential to understand what the author meant.

You can follow three steps to identify them:

  • Identify the topic: To achieve this, you must ask yourself <em>"What is the text about?" </em>
  • Identify the idea the author wants to convey: To achieve this, you must ask yourself <em>"What does the author wants me to know about the subject?"</em>
  • Identify the details that support the author's main idea: To achieve this you must take the answer obtained by asking “What is the text about?”, and add it to the answer obtained from the question “What does the author want to know about the topic? “ And then find a phrase in the text that best matches those answers.
