She was using an understatement.

Answer:

The author used an understatement.

Explanation:

When Reyna says she is having a little car trouble, the literary device is an "understatement". An understatement means she is not telling things the way they really are. She is softening their state, sugarcoating the reality. Another example of an understatement would be a person who has lost all their money telling a friend they don't have enough money to go out for dinner.

Does this monologue have such dramatic elements as conflict resolution dialogue and stage directions porphyrias lover
Dvinal [7]
Porphyria's Lover is a dramatic monologue that tells us the speaker's thoughts.

There is no conflict resolution: the poem ends with Porphyria dead by her lover's hand. No one has come upon them by the end of the poem and he has not been punished. What happens after this scene ends is unresolved.

There is no dialogue, either. The speaker of the poem tells us that Porphyria "calls" the speaker, but he does not relate her exact words. There is no dialogue in the poem.
Finally, there are no formal stage directions. The speaker does describe several actions happening during the poem -- as when the speaker tells us he strangles Porphyria with her hair -- but we do not have formal stage directions as one would get in a play.

Read this passage from Alan Weisman's "The City Without Us":
Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Working against the natural tendencies of the environment leads to long-term consequences.

Explanation:

In the first paragraph, the theme of green literature is evidenced when the writer references the damage to New York City's topography due to the need to build deep underground subways that double as bomb shelters.

In the second passage, the imagery used by the writer gives a clearer picture of the damage that was done to the environment.

In the first passage, the potential hazard arises because sewer lines have to be pumped uphill with subways below them.

If there is an earthquake, for instance, the entire structure comes crashing down.

In the second passage, the damage was already done, leaving Norwegians with the problem of how to create soils upon which plant fauna could thrive. Had they, managed the tree population by planting more than they were cutting, they probably would have avoided the "<em>green problem".</em>
