Answer:

D) He didn't fight.

E) He hadn't fought at all.

F) battered and venerable.

Explanation:

Elizabeth Bishop's free verse poem "The Fish" is most probably about one of her many fishing encounters where she had caught a fish. The whole poem, written in a short- lined, slim shaped seventy six lines describes the actual action of hooking in the fish and even the detailed depiction of the short- duration fishing.

During the whole fishing action, the poet mentions the lines

<em>He didn't fight.</em>

<em>He hadn't fought at all.</em>

<em>battered and venerable.</em>

These three lines particularly shows that the fish had all given up on fighting against being captured. The specific use of the word "venerable" also seems to suggest that the poet feels sorry for the fish. The word itself means to have some respect for someone, or to feel some sort of warmth towards someone or something. So, with this word being used as early as in the eighth line may be suggestive of the poet feeling sorry for the fish she had captured. Thus, the three lines "<em>he didn't fight./ He hadn't fought at all./ battered and venerable</em>" shows that the fish had given up struggling for survival after living a hard life, maybe constantly living life evading capture or getting killed.

Which of these is an effective strategy for gathering details?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The answer is letter C, Use the SEE Method.

Explanation:

The "SEE Method" refers to <em>"Statement, Examples and Explanations." </em>

This allows the writer to know what he needs to include in his paragraph.

Statement refers to stating his claim. He needs to assert his opinion on the argument.

Examples refer to providing an<em> "evidence"</em> on what he is claiming.

Explanations refer to providing an explanation for the evidence he stated.

These are essential especially when it comes to <u>gathering reliable information </u>when it comes to "argumentative writing."

Depends on how you wanna start it

"Piggy criticizes the others for letting the fire spread outside the fire-pit by asking, “How can [they] expect to be rescued if [they] don’t put first things first and act proper?”  This leads to a confrontation on the mountain between Jack and Piggy which Ralph must diffuse."
