Which line in this excerpt from Richard Connell's “The Most Dangerous Game” uses personification? "The old charts call it `Ship-

Trap Island,"' Whitney replied. “A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition—-" "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht. "You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh, "andI've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night." "Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

Answer all 3 questions. Question 1: In " Harrison Bergeron," Kurt Vonnegut writes that Hazel has " average" intelligence, but sh
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1. This shows that the average intelligence is not very smart. In the book, they make the very smart people dumer so that things can be "equal", which you will soon learn, or have learned already.

2. Equality and fairness are different and they got it mixed up. Equality is treating people the same, or viewing them as the same, no matter their circumstance, but fairness is making sure everyone is the EXACT same, like sharing a pizza, its only FAIR that, between two people, they each get four.

They have confused these concepts.

Hope this helps you out!!

Which element of Miranda's character is best illustrated by this excerpt?If by your art, my dearest father, you havePut the wild
kicyunya [14]
The above speech makes a key element of Miranda's character clear.

In The Tempest, Miranda is a sheltered character who has not had much interaction with the world. Her interactions are limited mainly to her father and Caliban. Therefore it might be expected that Miranda is sheltered and even cold and unfeeling. It would not be surprising if Miranda were to look upon the storm (and the ship being tossed about at sea) and find it only interesting, nothing more. Her reaction, however, is quite different.

Instead, this speech proves Miranda is not cold and unfeeling. She begins by saying, "If by your art, my dearest father, you have Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them." She suspects her father may have played a part in the storm, and she begs him to calm the seas so that those at sea might be saved.

She goes even further, however, than showing concern for those at sea. She goes so far as to say, "O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer." Although she is safe on land, she knows that those at sea are suffering, and she suffers along with them. This proves Miranda is capable of empathy  feels for others. She feels that the boat likely had a good person ("noble creature") on board, and she fears the storm has killed someone. She worries about the safety of others and begs her father to do what he can to calm the sea.

As a result, this excerpt best illustrates Miranda's sympathy for others. It proves she is a caring, compassionate, merciful person.
