Answer:

This is a quote by Connie Willis, an American writer. The quote is from her science fiction novel, <em>the Passage</em> (2001).

In this excerpt, she asserts that literature is a massage from the past. Through literature, people from the past tell us about life and death, and give us instructions on how to live. Wills suggests the readers to listen to these people, and uses a concerned tone. The idea is that we can look at other people's experiences and learn from their mistakes. Literature is, thus, a means of communication between people from the past and the present.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

A. It involves a prince and princess who do not have names

Which of these phrases uses parallelism to create a sad tone?
Sati [7]

The correct answer is B. I called for Sadie. Sadie didn't answer. I waited up for Sadie didn't come home.

Explanation:

Parallel constructions involve the repetition of a grammatical pattern including the use of the same tense or grammatical form to express elements of the same importance. This structure is used in the sentence "I called for Sadie. Sadie didn't answer. I waited up for Sadie didn't come home" because in this sentence all the actions are expressed using the simple past tense through verbs such as called, waited, or didn't answer. Moreover, this structure helps the author create a sad tone because all the actions expressed the idea Sadie cannot be found.
