Answer:

'thinks', 'that'

'lies', 'late'

'celestial', 'chores'

Explanation:

Alliteration is a figure of speech in which the words with the same consonant sounds are repeated in the same line. The words begin with the same consonant sound. This helps in adding rhythm and gives a musical effect in the lines. In the above lines 'thinks', 'that' are the words with the same consonant sound. Similarly, in the second line, the words 'lies', 'late' are the example of alliteration. Also, in the last line, 'celestial', 'chores' has the same consonant sound.

Alliteration is the use of the same letter at the beginning of words at least three times in the same sentence. Ex. "She sells sea shells by the sea shore."

The answer is, " While poor black cherubs rise at seven to do celestial chores."

To what extent has Hundert’s character changed over the course of the text?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Mr. Hundert in Ethan Canin's The Palace Thief actually changes significantly for the worse before he changes for the better at the end of the story.

When we first meet Mr. Hundert, he is a young history teacher at St. Benedict's, still intent upon introducing his students to the “lofty ideals” of the ancients, hoping to inspire the boys as well as “temper their ambition with humility.” However, the high ideals Mr. Hundert holds for himself are shattered when he encounters the stubborn corruption of Sedgewick Bell.

Sedgewick is rude and arrogant, and for a while, Mr. Hundert tries to find a balance between correcting him and encouraging him. Then the annual Mr. Julius Caesar competition approaches, and Mr. Hundert makes his first big mistake. He submits Sedgewick for the competition rather than a better-qualified boy. His motive seems honorable, for he wants to further encourage Sedgewick, but his actions are not fair. Mr. Hundert is beginning to descend from his high ideals.

Which sentence correctly uses a hyphen?
Radda [10]

The correct answer is : The well-known artist arrived.

"well-known" is a compound modifier and, in the sentence above, is used immediately before the noun it modifies. For that reason, it must be hyphenated.

"chocolate-covered" could be hyphenated as well, but its location in the structure is improper for that use, since it comes after the noun it modifies.

How does the author reveal Okeke's perspective of his son's
Fantom [35]

Answer:

A. He uses the father's letter and dialogue  to convey his disapproval of  Nnaemeka's marriage.

Explanation:

Chinua Achebe's short story "Marriage is a Private Affair" revolves around the story of Nnaemeka and his "unaccepted" marriage to a woman outside of his tribe. The story delves into how tradition posed an obstacle to a marriage between two tribes, and how women are perceived to be in society.

When Nnaemeka informed his father about his marriage to Nene, his father was opposed to the idea of him marrying a woman outside of their Igbo tribe. Moreover, she was brought up in a cosmopolitan city and not 'fit' to be a traditional housewife. So, when he got the wedding picture, he cut off Nene from the photo and sent it back, replying with the words <em>"on further thought I decided just to cut off your wife and send it back to you because I have nothing to do with her. How I wish that I had nothing to do with you either."</em>

The author used the letter and the dialogues of Okeke to reveal his perspective of his son's marriage.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
