Answer:
The words from the excerpt that best help the reader determine a tone of distress are:
B. "sob," "groped," and "dragging"
Explanation:
<u>Tone is conveyed through word choice, in literature. It helps readers understand what the narrator and/or other characters are feeling, or what the situation is supposed to inspire in readers. </u>The only way for the author to convey such sensations and emotions is by choosing words that are connected to them.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the words "sob," "groped," and "dragging" convey distress. Distress means extreme anxiety or extreme sorrow, suffering, affliction. A person who is not feeling anxious, sad, or suffering is not likely to sob, to grope, or to drag.</u> Lighter words would be used to describe them. <u>Now, if people drag their feet and grope around while sobbing, we can sense they are distressed.</u>
The statement that is true is: Effective responses require practice and effort. The correct answer is option D. A response becomes effective when the person knows how to choose the right words that are appropriate to the given situation. It should be practiced in a way that the responses are flexible enough that can used in different situations. An effective response becomes beneficial in the situation when it is used correctly.
Answer:
B. "The forest seemed interminable; nowhere did he discover a break in it, not even a woodman's road."
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary technique used by many authors to anticipate a clue about information that will only appear in the text later, or information that the characters still do not know. Foreshadowing serves to make the reader curious about the consequences that anticipated information will have on the narrative. Among the options given in the question, the one with foreshadowing is the letter B, as the author anticipates the information that "the forest seemed endless" before the character realizes it.
