The complete question with the options was found online. It is as follows:

Which portion of this passage uses the sense of sound to create imagery? “Even the insistent cough of the woman next to him wasn’t enough to draw his eyes away from the tiny type of the ancient book.its pages were brittle and felt like they could crumble at the slightest disturbance. He noticed the musty odor of each page as he carefully turned it over”

A. Even the insistent cough of the woman next to him...

B. ...draw his eyes away from the tiny type of the ancient book.

C. It’s pages were brittle and felt like they could crumble at the slightest disturbance.

D. He noticed the musty odor of each page as he carefully turned it over.

Answer:

A. Even the insistent cough of the woman next to him...

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing). It helps make a description more vivid and impressive, allowing readers to feel involved in the situation as if they were the ones to be living it.

The passage we are analyzing here appeals to more than just one sense. However, the question is asking us to find the portion in which the sense of sound is used to create imagery. We can safely answer<em> A. Even the insistent cough of the woman next to him...  </em>We, as readers, can imagine, hear the unstoppable, annoying cough. We have all been in situations where we wanted or needed to concentrate or pay attention to something, but someone's cough was utterly distracting and irritating. Still, the character in the passage is so involved in something else that even the insistent sound of the cough is not enough to distract him.

2. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

B. The meeting was only supposed to be for an hour; however, it ran for nearly 3 hours.

Explanation:

A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank. Use the semicolon if you have two independent clauses <em>connected without a conjunction</em>. Also use the semicolon when you already have commas within a sentence for smaller separations, and you need the semicolon to show bigger separations.
