Answer: Alliteration

Alliteration refers to the repetition of the same initial consonant sounds within a group of words. Alliteration is commonly used in order to cause an emotional effect or to increase the persuasiveness of a text. Alliteration is also known as "head rhyme." In this case, the alliteration occurs in the words "swivel" and "still," which both have the same initial consonant sound.

He doesn't care if he isn't picked to start the game. He usually comes on as a sub in the second half and he often scores a goal in the final minutes. He knows that he can add something extra and when we're lost and there are 10 minutes left to the final whistle, he seems to get that adrenaline rush and just wants the ball to show what he can do. I guess he's our secret weapon- Super-sub Sully!

List of answer:

1. A

3. A

4. C

5. A

6. C

7. B

8. C

This excerpt tells the story of a substitute player who is always picked to play in matches almost at the end of them. He is considered a secret weapon who is able to give his team the victory they need. As this is a narrative construction written in the present tense, we must always respect the best grammatical choices in order to have a well-written piece.

For this reason, in questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 we must choose the verbs that are conjugated with the third person singular subject ("he", in this case) and in 6 with the first person plural subject ("we", in this case).

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

"A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. "

and

"During the greater part of the day the guillotine had been kept busy at its ghastly work: all that France had boasted of in the past centuries, of ancient names, and blue blood, had paid toll to her desire for liberty and for fraternity."

Explanation:

The first sentence seems to describe the crowd as wild animals, which can show the perspective that they themselves were feral and barbaric. The second sentence describes the cruelty in which they took action.
