Sample Response:

Answer:

After reading the passage, I see how the author uses connotations and figurative language to make his experience come to life. The author uses a mix of postive and negitive connotations like "fast" as a positive connotation, and "lighting" as a negitive connotation. Though the author is using negitive connotation in the paragraph, the story itself is not meant to be negitive, rather exciting and uses figurtative language as a description. This is expressed through the phrases like, "electric fight" but the author hints at what they mean through the following context clues like, " for us to turn on and off as we please." Which indicated a light swich, and the electric that "fighting" through it. This make it feel like not just a light swich or power, but an electric storm that comes to life!

Alisiya [41]
The best answer to the statement given above is option b. false. Most people who become addicted to drugs are NOT able to stop on their own and need outside help. Those people who are addicted to drugs have difficulty to abstain from it because these drugs created an addictive pleasure to the body which makes them crave for it. If the urge is not satisfied, drug users often suffer from withdrawal symptoms. This is the time that they need outside help, that's why they need to undergo rehabilitation.
