Answer:

<u>The following are the correct answers to each question</u>:

<u>Question 1: Option C.</u> The descriptive details reveal the excitement of the crowd.

<u>Question 2: Option A.</u> The passage uses dialogue to show how Mr. Frank feels. His words reveal his desire to protect Anne from reality.

Explanation:

The descriptive details on the paragraph of question 1 allow sensory recreations of the whole experience of a swimming race event. The writer uses the descriptive details to reveal the excitement of the crowd, with phrases such as :"Spectators slid to the front of their chairs; many rose."

The paragraph from question 2 is from "The Diary of a Young girl" and is a dialogue between Anne and her father. The use of a dialogue helps to portrait how Mr. Frank feels about the situation his and his family are living, and how he wants to protect Anne from that reality. He says to her not to worry, that he will take care of everything and how she just must enjoy her carefree life.

Which two lines of text in this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" demonstrate the author’s opposition to conventional
Debora [2.8K]

<u>Answer:</u>

"You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em"

These lines are a manifestation of author's strong opposition to the traditional ways of showing patriotism, showing empathy towards the poor and helpless foreigners who could not do anything and were likely to be killed.

What does the repetition of the word natural thought " how we ended world war one " emphasis
nasty-shy [4]
The repetition of 'how we ended world war one' emphasises the fact that they are probably proud of the actions they've done to end the war. They want to inform you that they did these specific things to prevent the war from going on. It's like a reminder to the reader that the people then did a lot.

Why is adding irrelevant material a problem?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Irrelevant material/redundancies are unnecessary words that add nothing new to your sentence and make it wordy.

Explanation:

I'm assuming you mean redundancies by "irrelevant material." For example, The puppy dog sprinted really fast can be edited to the puppy sprinted. It isn't necessary to add "dog" when you have the word puppy. You don't need to say "really fast" when the word sprinted already means to run fast.
