Read this excerpt from "The Destructors" by Graham Greene and answer the question that follows: "Blackie lumbered nearer the saw

and the sledge-hammer. Perhaps after all nobody had turned up; the plan had been a wild invention; they had woken wiser. But when he came close to the back door he could hear a confusion of sound hardly louder than a hive in swarm; a clickety-clack, a bang bang bang, a scraping, a creaking, a sudden painful crack. He thought; it’s true, and whistled." Why is confusion an effective choice?

5 0

Answer:

Because the passage itself attempts to create confusion.

Explanation:

Right after he mentions the word <em>confusion</em>, he compares it to a hive in swarm --this implies a sense of chaos and danger. The writer then goes further and uses numerous onomatopeias in order to achieve an even more distressing effect: all the sounds that follow are presented in a sort of sequence that create a vivid and puzzling scene in the reader's mind.

lilavasa [31]

Communication during the Renaissance experienced many changes, some of which significantly transformed European culture and lifestyle. The two most obvious contributions were the printing press and the development of secular art.

The printing press allowed books to be more widespread, which increased literacy. It also allowed for the development of newspapers, which informed people of the activities of the government, increasing accountability. Moreover, it made Bibles more widespread, which was influential in the development of new branches of Christianity.

Secular art, particularly in the form of frescoes, also became an important medium of communication. Frescoes often depicted historical figures or events. They also told stories of Greek mythology. This allowed the common citizen to increase his or her general knowledge.
