Answer:

In line 6, the word bite <u>D. suggests that time is something to be consumed and enjoyed.</u>

Explanation:

Aunt Imogen is a character in Edwin Arlington Robinson's poem of the same name. She comes once a year to her sister's house, where she is adored by her niece and nephews. For the children, being visited by Aunt Imogen was beyond comparison. She is unique, and they adore her! Even though she is to stay for only four weeks, the time they spend with her must be thoroughly enjoyed. I believe the author uses the word bite to express precisely that. When we eat our favorite food, we take "great bites", we consume it rather fast, but in utter joy. The same goes for the time they spend together. The "great bites of time" are consumed as their favorite food would be: completely and pleasantly.

Which opening sentence most strongly engages the reader and provides context?
svp [43]
Of the opening sentences that were presented here that strongly engages the reader and provides context to them would be the second one which is "We could have had a worse weekend, but it's awfully hard to beat Bigfoot and bugs."

The first and third one were just not good enough because it exposes the rest of the context to the reader and lets them have the idea of what you are talking about which usually leads to the readers not choosing to continue to read, thus taking out the reader's engagement but still provides context. The last one is better than the first and third, but it spilled the beans when it mentioned the particulars as to what made the weekend bad to worse. The answer is just right. It has the impact that would hook the reader to know more about your weekend and why is Bigfoot and bugs together in your statement. The rain wasn't mentioned which would be ideal to make the story telling take a turn to much worse which would spike up the interest of the reader.

What does the author mean by "candid world"? What effect does this word choice have on the rhetoric as well as the intended audi
My name is Ann [436]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence: The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. The document then goes on to list a series of charges that denounce British rule of the American colonies. In the context of the Declaration of Independence, what does the author mean by “candid world”? What effect does this word choice have on the rhetoric as well as the intended audience of the text?

Answer and Explanation:

In the context of the declaration of independence, the author uses the text "candid world" to refer to the target audience and obtain the approval and support of that audience. This is because the word "candid" represents something pure and has not been corrupted. When the author uses this word to refer to the audience, he is stating that this audience is honest, impartial and correct. In this way, he wants to awaken the public's feelings and logic, which will support the idea that the government should not be biased, but honest and integral.
