Answer: A. It connects the man to the spade and the act of digging in the dirt.

In this excerpt, the author uses assonance. Assonance is the resemblance between the sounds of words or syllables. This can occur between their vowels or their consonants. Assonance can have several purposes, such as emphasizing a particular idea, or giving a poem a certain rhythm. In this case, the purpose of using assonance is to connect the man to the spade and to the act of digging in the dirt.

can someone write an argument essay on a topic about the advantages and disadvantages of always being in contact with your paren
Advocard [28]

Answer:

This is only 165 words, but I got brain dead. Hopefully you can string along some more ideas/answers, but heres what I've got. Sorry if it wasn't enough :(

Explanation:

The advantages and disadvantages of staying in contact with your parents/guardians as a teenager.

There are many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to staying in contact with a parent as a teen. When you're a teen you need space, as you're going through hormones or just need space because of school. There can always be strict parents, disallowing you to see friends or other parts of the family. Parents can shame you and make you feel bad about things you really shouldn't feel bad about.

But keeping contact isn't always bad, we have parents to help out needs and keep us safe until we can finally leave off to college or start our own life. Your parents also pay for the majority of your things. Parents pay for your food, shelter, and even the phone in your pocket.

Parents can both have pros and cons whenever it comes to keeping contact with them, but none the less we should try and be thankful.
