<span>A stone wall separates the speaker’s property from his neighbor’s. In spring, the two meet to walk the wall and jointly make repairs. The speaker sees no reason for the wall to be kept—there are no cows to be contained, just apple and pine trees. He does not believe in walls for the sake of walls. The neighbor resorts to an old adage: “Good fences make good neighbors.” The speaker remains unconvinced and mischievously presses the neighbor to look beyond the old-fashioned folly of such reasoning. His neighbor will not be swayed. The speaker envisions his neighbor as a holdover from a justifiably outmoded era, a living example of a dark-age mentality. But the neighbor simply repeats the adage.</span>
The year was different becuase one was in the 19th century and the other in the 18th century
Answer:
I believe the correct answer is C. The problem-and-solution structure establishes how the problem came to be, describes the potential outcomes, and suggests actions for resolution.
Explanation:
Roosevelt's famous speech about conservation does indeed refer to history - both American and the whole world's history. But it only does so in order to provide a deeper insight into the nature of the problem. <u>He uses historic references to outline the problem (exhaustion of resources). Then, he proposes solutions to this problem.</u>
True, America's natural resources were a great driver of economic and national growth. However, according to Roosevelt, <u>if Americans don't adopt a new perspective and start thinking about their posterity, soon there won't be much left to work with</u>. There are two categories of resources, each of which require a separate course of action:
- Exhaustible resources such as metals and minerals. The exhaustion can't be stopped, but it can be deferred until, hopefully, scientists come up with something to replace them.
- Renewable resources such as wood, water, soil. It is possible to prevent their exhaustion, but it's also possible to improve them for future generations.
To show who the characters are.
Explanation:
Dialogue is a literary technique that shows what two or more characters are saying, (it can also be between only one character and his thoughts). This literary technique allows the author to simplify the lecture for the reader, we can digest dialogue more easily than description, it highlights personalities of the characters in the story and keeps the reader entertained because of the intrigue of what the other character is going to reply. In a narrative it is important to keep balanced the descriptions and the dialogues, in this passage we can see that the author balances the dialogue accompanied by the description of each character to allow the reader to know what they look like.
