How does changing sentence structure from long to short and choppy help build suspense

English

ycow [4]3 years ago

Well, if you think about it, if your sentences are super short, you get right to the point and we don't know any of the important details. 
Example: The dog died. (short and choppy)
Verses: The suffering K-9 limped along the alley, energy slowly dripping away. He walked in the rain, not noticing the puddles he was trodding through. At length, he reached his almost flooded dog house, where he laid down. His he fell asleep never to wake again, finally at peace.
Make sense? Hope this helped! Sorry for the depressing example ;)

Answer:

The type of evidence used in the passage is:

A. statistical evidence.

Explanation:

In the passage we are analyzing here, the author mentions a couple of percentages to make his point. This is an example of statistical evidence. This type of evidence relies on numbers, usually resulting from surveys and researches, to offer support to a claim. If I say, for instance, that 70% of people who eat eggs lose fat and gain mass more quickly than those who do not eat eggs, I will be using statistical evidence to prove my point that eating eggs is helpful for bodybuilders - that is just an example.

How does a comparison of Maui and his brothers create a comical tone in the passage
Andru [333]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"How does a comparison of Maui and his brothers create a comical tone in the passage ?

One of the most common stories of Maui found throughout Polynesia is related to how he pulled up islands from the ocean floor. There are several versions of this fable applied to different islands depending on their natural make-up. For instance in Hawai’i Maui pulled up the islands by tricking his brothers into paddling their canoe with all their might to haul up each island which he had hooked using a great and magical fish hook called Manaiakalani, telling them it was a massive fish. He repeats this trick for each island. "

Answer:

The passage shows us a comic tone showing how Maiu was smart in deceiving his brothers.

Explanation:

The excerpt manages to add a comical tone to the narrative because we can see how Maiu tricked his brothers so that they could do the heavy lifting of the activity that Maiu himself wanted to do. This "deception" shows a small joke between brothers that makes reading funny and allows the reader to perceive a comical tone, making the narrative more fun.
