Answer:

Demonstrative Pronoun: "These"

Verbal: "earning"

Type of verbal: "gerund"

Personal pronoun: "my"

Explanation:

Demonstrative Pronouns: These are the pronouns which point to something specific within a sentence

Examples: this, that, these, those, such, none, neither.

Verbals: These are words made from verbs but functioning NOT as verbs but as something else (nouns, adjectives, or adverbs).

Examples: In the sentences; cooking requires a lot of skill, he is a learned man, she likes to eat mangoes, cooking (gerund), learned (participle), and to eat (infinitive) are verbals.

Gerund verbal: These are verbals formed by adding -ing after the verbs and functioning as noun. "earning" is acting as a noun; and hence is a gerund.

The personal pronoun "my" is used modifying gerund (noun) "earning"

The author's use of simile:

B. It helps the reader visualize the increased number of exoplanets discovered.

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. A simile needs help of words such as "as" or "like".

In the text, the discovery of planets and exoplanets was compared to billiard balls in a pool game. First, discovering planets was similar to a regular game, in which it is easy to see and count the balls. But, as more and more exoplanets were discovered, scientists could no longer run tally.

Why did Hurston choose Janie instead of another character?

pashok25 [27]

It is possible that Hurston chose to tell the story within a framework to give Janie a voice in the novel. Had Hurston relied solely on a third person narrative, Janie would have had no voice. Using first person narrative in this framework proves that Janie has gained strength and independence as a result of her lifelong search for true love.
