Hi there :)

So the song ‘Wreck Me’ would be considered a ballad because a ballad is a poem or song narrating a story in short stanzas. Hope this helps!!!

Answer: Charles Dickens's "The Song of the Wreck" might be considered a ballad because it is a narrative poem spoken in the third-person, and it features ballad stanzas of four lines—rhymed abab— as well as dialogues, a simple language, and a tragic story.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little further on the answer, it can also be added that the poem, or "song," relates the tragic story of a shipwreck. A seaman rescued a child who had been onboard, and he took care of him until he died, not before asking a "trusty friend" to continue looking after him. The friend took care of him, but the "helpless child" eventually died too. Note that the second and fourth lines of every stanza rhyme (raved, saved, thrown, alone, and so on) and that throughout the poem there are several dialogues, which make it more vivid and engaging.

GREYUIT [131]

The correct answer is C. For the first time in decades, Baby Boomers have been outnumbered by another group--the Millennials.

A hook is the sentence that metaphorically 'hooks' you - that is the most engaging sentence in the introductory paragraph that makes you interested in what is going to happen next. In this paragraph, option C is the hook because we are about to find out how the Millennials managed to replace Baby Boomers.

Well that’s not really the definition of a democracy. A democracy is defined by a type of government in which all ELIGIBLE members of the state can partake in decision making through the election of representatives. Having the ability to Dissent from a political decision, protest inadequate living standards, pushing for more economic justice, protesting against presidential actions etc raises public awareness, and warrants some type of change if those elected officials want to have people’s vote next time around.

Hope it helps.
