The last one is perfect as it includes all possible interpretations. Hope that helps!
I think the complete question would be;
Which technique is the author using in this passage to reveal the character’s traits?
passage from the grapes of wrath muley’s face was smooth and unwrinkled, but it wore the hateful look of a bad child. the mouth was held tight and small, the little eyes half scowling, half fretful.
is:
<em>the Imagery used in describing the details about the face, and the metaphor used in comparing it to a child's face. These details tell the reader about the character's personality.</em>
There are many factors that could hamper an effective communication. Some of those could be: social status (if you are talking to someone who has a more important status than yourself, it may happen that they are not interested in a communication with you), use of language (if you use inappropriate words, the conversation is not going to be successful), knowledge about the subject (if you don't know what you are talking about, the conversation is likely not going to continue), atmosphere/noise, cultural differences, disabilities, etc.
False, it isn't that because alliteration doesn't mean that.
