Answer:

People use the lights to brighten and mask the dreariness of their lives.

Explanation:

It is in a very depressing tone that Sara Teasdale finishes her poem "Lights", it is written in a time where lights represented a certain status in life, a certain wealth, and is written from the perspective of a person that has no lights in her home and that refugees in the love that her family can bring when the darkness comes, she states that they are shielding themselves from the dark with the lights to mask the drearines of their lives.

<em>"But to us standing here there comes the stark</em>

<em>Sense of the lives behind each yellow light,</em>

<em>And not one wholly joyous, proud, or free. "</em>

And not one with wholly joyous, proud, or free, that is where she states the dreariness , ot hollowness of those lights.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A). Tell about an experience with a computer virus.

Explanation:

As per the question, a way to better associate with this excerpt is to 'tell about an experience with a computer virus' as it would help the audience to relate to it and understand it effectively. The speaker's <u>personal experience with the virus would not only enhance the clarity of the message regarding the impact of viruses on systems and the private data of users that author wishes to convey to the audience</u> but also help promote its effective understanding that would help elicit intended response. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

How should a reader analyze indirect characterization? Check all that apply.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

By noticing how the character interacts with other characters.

By noticing details about what the character says, does, and thinks.

By noticing how the other characters perceive the character.

By noticing the context, and use it to make inferences about the character.

Explanation:

Indirect characterization is the process by which the writer presents the personality of the character through different methods except for directly describing it. That is to say, the character is identified by the way he/she acts, talks and looks like, and this is how the reader determines what kind of person the character is.
