A) A citizen was in big trouble.

B) A citizen caused a fight in town.

C) Somebody had committed a murder and fled to the town of Poker Flat to escape capture.

D) The town had lost several thousand dollars, two valuable horses, and a prominent citizen.

<u>Answer:</u>

The town had lost several thousand dollars, two valuable horses, and a prominent citizen to be after somebody.

D) The town had lost several thousand dollars, two valuable horses, and a prominent citizen.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Poker Flat's mystery board of trustees feels resolved to change the climate of their untamed town by banishing known fugitives and questionable characters. The town had lost a few thousand dollars, two significant steeds, and a noticeable resident to be after someone.

In "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," Bret Harte plays the incongruity of the evidently honest do-gooders of the town off against the genuineness uncovered by the untouchables in their limit as they are snowbound in the wild.

In no fewer than three sentences, critique the following paragraph. Explain where it could be improved. Then, in your own words,

KengaRu [80]

The paragraph is missing a period at the end.
Since "Growing flowers is one of my happiest childhood memories." is the topic sentence, then the rest of the paragraph should be supporting THAT statement.
The topic sentence is not necessarily a HOOK, more like a regular statement. A good hook would be something including a sound, a question, or using descriptive words.

In "My Name," the line "My name is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday

Lelechka [254]

The correct answer is Metaphor

Explanation:

In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.
