Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, an

d answer the question that follows:
Another way to tap the power of imagination is through place. My own background as a writer is rooted in nature, having grown up reading Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, and John Muir long before I ever dipped into Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Ursula Le Guin, E. B. White, or J.R.R. Tolkien. My early writings were really nature journals; at nine, I wrote a complete biography—of a tree. (It was a once-majestic chestnut tree not far from my home.) So it should come as no surprise that I view place as much more than just a setting for a story. It is, in truth, another form of character, no less alive and complex, mysterious and contradictory, than the richest character in human form.

The author writes that he "wrote a complete biography—of a tree." What message is implied about the tree with this statement? (10 points)

1)The author couldn't think of any other subject for a biography.

2)The author didn't think a partial biography was enough.

3)The author didn't want to speak for the tree.

4)The author believed the tree had a life story, like a person.

The correct answer is 4) The author believed the tree had a life story, like a person.
Usually, biographies are written for and about people - a biography is a text about someone's life, their accomplishments, and the most important things that happened throughout their lives. However, Barron thought of this tree as an actual living person who deserved to have its story told, which is why he wrote a biography about its life.

How can. Context change the meaning of a word
GrogVix [38]
Because verbal context effects (when they do occur) are presumed to result from a change of meaning, the broader role of word meaning in recognition was examined. ... It is likely that word meaning is encoded during study of lists of words but is infrequently used in making recognition decisions.

Read the following questions and fill in the blanks with most appropriate words from the options:-
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Who and whose (which is wrong for a couple of reasons) refer to people. So neither of those 2 can be the answer.

Which and that are all that is left.

The usage is very close. Which, I think, is the correct answer. It usually begins a clause that adds more information to the noun (usually) that it modifies. In this case, the clause modifies mammal and tells it that is unique in that it can fly.

That is normally a pronoun that oddly modifies again usually a specific noun. You are not talking about a bat that lives in your back yard and that you have named. Bats in general are the only mammals that fly.

I still would use which.
