The worst birthday from harry potter and the chamber of secrets question 5

English
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

D). It highlights the contrast between the Dursley’s excitement for the dinner and Harry’s loneliness.

Explanation:

Repetition is elucidated as one of the most commonly employed literary devices in which the author <u>repeats a word or phrase in order to emphasize or highlight a specific idea</u>. While 'tone' is described as the <u>author's approach or attitude towards a specific subject matter</u> reflected through the diction and language adopted by the author to convey it.

As per the question, Harry's constant repetition of the phrase 'I’ll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I’m not there' affects the tone of the given passage by highlighting the disparity between the excitement of Dursley and the loneliness of Harry. It <u>shifts the tone from cheerful to serious and emphasizes Harry's isolation due to his family's fear over his special powers</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

The following sentence has a dangling modifier.
Basile [38]

The sentence that best corrects the original one is option 3) “Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.”

In this option, we make it clear that the doer of the action (flipping back the table) is Anton and in the original sentence is not mentioned.

The first option is incorrect since it says that the storm flipped back the chair instead of Anton.

Option number two is also incorrect since the meaning is not clear, especially the 2nd part of the sentence.

And the last option is also incorrect because it uses the passive voice in both parts of the sentence, when it should be using acting voice in the 2nd part, making emphasis on the doer of the action (Anton) rather than on the action itself.
