Answer:

D). The cause is if the illness was suspected, and the effect is immigrants were detained.

Explanation:

The cause-and-effect structure is primarily used to denote the reasoning for a specific problem or issue and the effects brought by the causes.

The last statement i.e. 'the cause ... detained' aptly relates that the given excerpt from 'Island of Hope' employs the 'cause-and-effect' structure and explains it. In the given paragraph, the organization of the cause 'if the illness is suspected' followed by the effect 'detaining of immigrants' assists the readers to identify the probable consequences associated with the action and understand the idea clearly. Thus,<u> option D</u> is the correct answer.

In “The Scarlet Ibis,” how does the death of the scarlet ibis foreshadow the death of Doodle?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer: Like Doodle, the scarlet ibis is a fragile creature that struggles to survive in its environment.

In this story, the scarlet ibis is compared to Doodle, the narrator's brother. Doodle was born sick, and his family believe that he is unlikely to live for long. However, Doodle does survive, even if he is a very frail and unhealthy child. Doodle tries to be like his brother, but he is incapable of it. When he dies, we see that the narrator compares his death to that of the scarlet ibis that died earlier in the story. They were both far from home, weak, and different than everyone else. They also died during a storm. The ibis is also a way for the brother to process Doodle's death and deal with his guilt.

Anestetic [448]

The poem is about the skeletons of men and women who have died dance in the middle of the night. When their shrouds fall across the graveyard, the warder picks one up. When the dead try to go back into their tombs, the one whose shroud was taken stays awake. He seeks out the warder and seeks the warder's death unless he returns it.
