Answer: The right answer is the A) Rich imagery that appeals to the readers’ senses.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that by using a descriptive language—pavement <em>sparkling with sunlight</em>, pigeons <em>fluttering off the curb </em>and nodding over <em>a profusion of bread crumbs</em>—the poet Billy Collins is trying to appeal to the reader's senses (sound, sight, and even smell) with the goal of recreating the scene in a clear and persuasive way. The speaker is listening to music and he is in good spirits, and he wants to share his upbeat mood with the reader.

How is the theme of the relationship between humans and nature discussed in each piece? "the way to rainy mountain" and ''How th
ollegr [7]

1. The Way to Rainy Mountain is the story of the Kiowa Tribe. The Kiowa tribe relied on hunting for sustenance. Their history says that they emerged from a log. Their existence is very spontaneous and natural. The tribe was also decimated by natural disasters. The tribe didn't last long. Thus, the human-nature relationship in this literary piece is that Humans cannot exist without nature. Nature decided the longevity of the tribe. Nature dictated who will survive to this day as with natural selection.

2. In the piece "How the World was Made" there is one central character, Maheo. Maheo is all powerful and was responsible for all creation. The human-nature relationship in this story is that of a creator and his creation. Here, Maheo created nature and decided their fate.

The two literary pieces are opposites when it comes the their relationship with nature. Both present great contrasts into how each tribe regarded nature.

We were pleased to read about _____ winning a place on the ticket hat time will plane arrive in Chicago?
Paul [167]

Options are she or her.

We were please to read about her winning...

In this case, we need to use "her." "She" and "her" are both gender specific pronouns. However, "she" is a subjective pronoun. This means that it can replace a noun in a sentence. "Her" is a possessive noun and can function as the possessive of "she" or the object of a verb and preposition. In this sentence we need to use "her" because she possesss the place on the ticket.

Which phase of a writing strategy involves deciding on the topic and the purpose of the essay?
Bogdan [553]
Well, from my experience, it would be prewriting. Prewriting is where you come up and brainstorm ideas. Its when you scribble ideas and write out a plan on the direction that you want your paper to head to, where you would write a list or draw a picture on key points you want to hit on the paper.
