Answer:

It creates a sarcastic tone.

Explanation:

The definition of the word <em>balmy </em>is <em>characterized by pleasantly warm weather.</em> This word is used to describe the minus 20 degrees, which is horribly cold, but still not as cold as Alaska usually is. This combination of words creates a paradox - how can minus 20 degrees be balmy? It is not - the author is just being sarcastic. That's how the use of the word <em>balmy</em> creates a sarcastic tone.

“You mean it — you really mean it.” She sagged back against the wall, small and limp like a little rag doll,and all the protesting and disbelief gone. “You’re going to do it — you’re going to make me die?” “I’m sorry,” he said again. “You’ll never know how sorry I am. It has to be that way and no human in the universe can change it.”

Why are descriptive passages usually slow-paced?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a movie, it takes time for the audience to really examine scenes and objects, so the pacing slows down and the camera moves more slowly. It takes even longer for areader to get a detailed description of a scene or object in written work because it takes longer to read words than to see a picture.

Which line completes the quatrain's rhyme scheme?
Feliz [49]

Answer: The shore's a backdrop for my lonely day.

Explanation:

This quatrain's rhyme scheme is such that a line must rhyme with the line that follows after the next line. This is why lines 1 and 3 rhyme by ending with the words: "alone" and "flown".

We need to pick an option therefore, that has a last word that can rhyme with the word "stay" in line 2. That option is the one above which has "day" at it's end. "Day" and "stay" rhyme so this is the correct answer.
