Answer:

C. He is filled with sorrow and hides his tears in his cloak.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative poem "The Odyssey" tells the journey of Odysseus in his attempts to reach his home Ithaca. Enduring a plethora of hardships and even an intervention from the gods, he reached his home after being away for more than two decades.

Book VIII of the narrative takes place in the land of the Phaeacians. Odysseus was a guest in the kings palace, though in a disguise and no one remembered him. But through the feasting and sharing of news/ stories, Odysseus was emotional to hear of old tales and all about his known associates. Then, when the musician played the music, he could no longer control himself. The singer Demodocus sang about the "feats of heroes, and more especially a matter that was then in the mouths of all men, to wit, the quarrel between Ulysses and Achilles, and the fierce words that they heaped on one another". All these filled Odysseus with sorrow and he had to hide his face to wipe his tears away, without the knowledge of the Phaeacians.

Advanced Composition' and Occasion-Sensitivity Further, people read for two reasons: entertainment or information. [ A writer who confuses, bores, or threatens the reader, "has lost that reader, usually for good." Earlier, Donald Murray's indispensable A Writer Teaches Writing (1968) focuses firmly on the target-audience. So writers, and now textbooks, embrace this pragmatism. Do the nation's writing classrooms, secondary and even collegiate, follow suit? Quite possibly not, which may suggest that advanced composition may often have a mandate to emphasize sensitivity to occasion as the keystone skill in real-world writing which it in fact is. My own foray into freelance writing in particular?77 articles in five years, but not without initial stumbles?taught me that real-world writing in general is varied, difficult, possible, necessary, satisfying. I now feel obligated to impart some of this perspective to my advanced writing students especially. ]

Answer:

The words and phrases from the excerpt that best reflect Chopin's connotative style are: cramped, tottered, and clutching feebly. The correct answer is the third one.

Explanation:

This group of words and phrases reflect the author's style because they have strong connotations. When reading those words and phrases, we can feel what the character is feeling in our own body. It is like we, ourselves, are living what is being described in the story. This means those words have strong connotations because they invoke a feeling for the reader; we don't just read those words and pass them by, we really feel what they describe. Those are strong adjectives and specially selected words and phrases. The author is known for using language to authentically describe the actions described, this is her style.
