Which sentence has an awkward shift in voice ?

English
1 answer:
Naddik [55]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is A. We practiced for the debate and many arguments were rehearsed.


As you can see in this sentence, in the first part the pronoun <em>we </em>is used, and in the latter part, that pronoun just disappears and the sentence suddenly becomes passive rather than active. The shift isn't done properly - it is rather awkward. The other options are consistent - they use only one voice rather than two (like in sentence A).

Which two statements best describe how Their Eyes Were Watching God supports Baldwin’s assertions about Black English? Because H
Digiron [165]

The correct answer is “Because Hurston uses American English in her novel only occasionally; she clearly feels that her people should be committed to their own language” and “By placing American English and Black English side by side in her novel, Hurston seems to emphasize their nature as separate languages”.

Indeed, Hurston was unconcerned about racial issues and she was criticized by the African American intelligentsia due to that fact. Thus, she is not hostile to white readers, especially considering the fact that the main character is acquitted of murder charges by an all-white, female jury. Also the fact that she conveys all the specific characteristics of Black English does not mean necessarily that she considers it “a language”, Mark Twain did the same with this and several other Southern dialects, both white and black and his intent was only to convey a clear picture of the local vernacular.

Baldwin posits that “because Hurston uses American English in her novel only occasionally, she clearly feels that her people should be committed to their own language”. It is certainly a possible interpretation of her literary choices, in any event she did consider that African Americans had their own distinct identity and such identity is reflected in their vernacular. Finally, it is true that it can be concluded that both Black English and American English are separate linguistic entities from the juxtaposed opposition she operates with the two in her book.

Alexus [3.1K]

I disagree: the words you read are interpretations from the writer.  The writer is explaining the beauty THEY see through their OWN vocab.  When you look at a picture your brain tells you what is beautiful to you and you interpret the beauty in a picture in your own way.
