Answer:

In simple words, he is saying that the other man snores in a particular way (different from the way other people snore/sound) -- maybe with certain sounds, presumably. To say that there's meaning in the snores suggests that he can (in his mind, anyway) detect a sort of language or communication.

Explanation:

'Distinctly' indicates in a way that is readily and clearly distinguishable by the senses -- something that is very noticeable or apparent.

Why did Nick's father tell him he should refrain from judging or criticizing other people? -From the Great Gatsby

KIM [24]

Answer:he said just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.

Explanation: ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’”

—Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby

F is for F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of Gatsby and master of human insight wrapped in poetry. His novel begins here, his narrator Nick Carraway, grappling with his father’s caution of criticism—

“All the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

In short, people judge, and Nick tries to refrain because his father said so. I think about Nick’s words and my life. I remember how often my mother would stop herself mid-criticism and say, “I’m not going to say that. It wasn’t very nice.” Then Philippians 4:8 comes to mind about thinking on excellent, praiseworthy things.

Speaking of excellence and praise, what about this one for its sheer lyricism? “It was dawn now on Long Island and we went about opening the rest of the windows downstairs, filling the house with grey turning, gold turning light. The shadow of a tree fell abruptly across the dew and ghostly birds began to sing among the blue leaves. There was a slow pleasant movement in the air, scarcely a wind, promising a cool lovely day.”

den301095 [7]

Answer:

C. It emphasizes a series of points made by the speaker.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a literary device which is a statement in the form of a question used to certify a point and does not elicit a reply. This device is used to provide more clarity to the speaker's central idea and emphasize the value points that he wishes to highlight. It is the central question which the speaker wants the readers' focus to shift upon and thus dramatically raises this statement or question to punch up his point and make it stand out completely and persuade the readers as he (the speaker) wants them to spend some time in thoughtful contemplation .

The words first, furthermore, and finally in the topic sentences are called __________.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Hi! The answer is Transition Words.

Explanation:

What are the components of good transition sentences? They make an explicit connection between ideas, sentences, and paragraphs.

Good transitions use specific words. Try to avoid using pronouns like “this” to refer to an entire idea because it is not always clear who or what

“this” refers to.

Here's a list of some more transitions words -

And, in addition to, furthermore, moreover, besides, than, too, also, both-and, another, equally important, first, second, etc., again, further, last, finally, not only-but also, as well as, in the second place, next, likewise, similarly, in fact, as a result, consequently, in the same way, for example.

Hope this helped!
