Answer:

This is more of a personal essay question, so there is no right answer, but if you're stuck and can't think of anyting to write I'll help.

So far, life in seclusion is going well. Everything seems to be going slower than usual. I am also unable to go see my friends because of this quarantine. But, this time is allowing me to be able to figure out new ways of entertainment, spend more time with my family members, and focus more on my hobbies.

Again, since this is a personal essay question, there is no right answer. Feel free to edit this paragraph to fit you and your feelings about the quarantine.

Hemingway is known for his journalistic writing style. Which of these excerpts is an example of that style?

Vinvika [58]

The correct answer is option A ("What I will do if he decides to go down, I don't know. What I'll do if he sounds and dies I don't know. But I'll do something. There are plenty of things I can do").

We refer to journalistic style in writing as the use of certain devices, structures and resources that are most commonnly associated with news articles, chronicles and similar kinds of pieces. <u>They can be easily identified for the use of short sentences and paragraphs that have a very straight-forward feel to them. The message often feels urgent and we get the sense that the author is trying to quickly make their point.</u>

Example "A" presents many of these features while none of the others are brief or to-the-point at all.

Hope this helps!
