Answer: the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words (i.e. <u>s</u>wift <u>s</u>eagulls <u>s</u>leep <u>s</u>oundly)
I believe the correct answer is: "Beyond a bare,
weather-worn wall, about a hundred paces from the spot where the two friends
sat looking and listening as they drank their wine, was the village of the
Catalans."
In this excerpt from the novel “The Count Monte Cristo”, written by
Alexander Dumas, the quotation that best contributes to the setting of the
narrative is:
"Beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, about a hundred
paces from the spot where the two friends sat looking and listening as they
drank their wine, was the village of the Catalans."
The setting of the narrative represents the place where
narrative is being unfolded – its surroundings, position. This quotation is the
best contribution to the setting as it describes the place where the story
begins (beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, hundred paces from the spot… the village
of the Catalans).
An example of a simile is the following:
"The tree was as thin as a hound dog."
As in the sentence above, a simile is a figure of speech which compares two different things, in order to make the description more intense or forceful. Another example could be:
"The man is as tall as a giraffe."
Answer:
The election of Hayes as president.
Explanation:
During the 1877 presidential election, Democrat Samuel J. Tilden feared most of the popular vote, but lost the election because the electoral college elected Republican Rutherford B. Hayes. Obviously, the Democrats did not accept this decision, since it removed the electoral power of the people. To solve this problem, the 1877 compromise was created, in which Hayes was elected, but he undertook to finalize the reconstruction of the south, which was the main campaign promise of the Democrats.
