This question is related to the short story "The Open Window"

Answer:

Vera is a country girl, but instead of showing country and naive traits, Vera shows herself to be a very polite, controlled and centered girl. This can be seen right when she meets Mr. Frampton Nuttel, at the beginning of the story. However, despite these positive qualities, in the course of the plot, Vera shows herself to be an astute, malicious and very intelligent girl.

Vera is not really a villain, but she is quite manipulative and manages to hit Mr. Frampton Nuttel squarely with his subterfuge. We can understand that she does this to have a distraction from the monotonous life of the countryside and to rule her control and intelligence in someone weaker.

In which statement is the transition used correctly?
Alinara [238K]

The second alternative is correct (B).

"Gold in California ignited interest in a railroad to reach the West. However, Americans disagreed on where to build the railroad."

The use of the conjunction "however" in this context connects the two sentences with a contraposition, giving the exact meaning for the continuity of the text. In this way, it became clear that there was a need to build a railroad, but there was no unity among Americans about where to build the railroad.

What defines “The Raven” as a poem rather than a work of short fiction?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The component that defines the work "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe as a poem, and not as a short work of fiction, is the resource of rhyme that is used constantly in the writing of the work. Thus, the author uses this resource at all times, both within the verses and between different verses, in such a way that the musicality of the writing is never lost; on the contrary, the careful use of words (and even the repetition of them) is aimed at keeping the rhythm of the poem from its beginning to its end.
