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.

In "Exhalation," what is the narrator's initial belief about memory?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Narrator believes that memory is recorded in one's brain.

Explanation:

In "Exhalation" by Ted Chiang, the initial assumption of the narrator is that memory of a person stores a huge list of things a person is going through.

When we exhale, it has been researched that, the part of the brain that stores memories is less stimulated as compared to when we inhale.

Thus, narrator also believed that whatever a person goes through in stored in golden pages in the brain as part of on'es memory.

Write a letter to the editor of a local newspaper highlighting your concern on the lack of charity seen in young people today.
7nadin3 [17]
Well, think of how young people are today. Think of yourself even. 
To be critical, young people today are quite self-invested, while they want a change in the world, they don't have the motivation to do the work to change. They have many wants, but they simply don't have the motivation or will to do it. Charity is giving to the homeless, helping the needy, or rebuilding or even just feeding someone. Charity can be for so many things. Young people are all about bettering themselves, and not others first. They will not openly give their food to a starving person on the street or give them money to go and buy their own -- they will simply walk on and not glance in their direction. So think basically, charity is giving. And young people today are essentially greedy, right? This is the key thing it wants you to talk about - go into detail.
