Answer:
Two of her character traits are:
- She has a strong interest in nature;
- She possesses the ability to deeply think about her environment, drawing inferences from them as they relate to human nature.
A. To buttress point 1, in paragraph 4 and 5 of Part II, Annie describes her venture into the woods of the suburbia close to her residence. The second sentence of paragraph 5 depicts that this is a habit. She states
"Then I cut down through the woods to the mossy fallen tree <em><u>where I sit</u></em>."
B. In paragraph 4 of part III, we see how she describes the kind of connection she thinks she shares with the Weasel:
"He disappeared. This was only last week, and already I don't remember what shattered the enchantment. I think I blinked, I think <em><u>I retrieved my brain from the weasel's brain</u></em>, and tried to memorize what I was seeing, and the weasel felt the yank of separation, the careening splashdown into real life and the urgent current of instinct"
In the excerpt above, she thinks she practically shared cerebral connections with the Weasel, so much so that her own thoughts distracted the animal.

Persuasive writing, also known as the argument essay, utilizes logic and reason to show that
one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a
certain point of view or to take a particular action. For example, the argument must always use sound
reasoning and solid evidence by stating facts, giving logical reasons, using examples, and
quoting experts.
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read “By Any Other Name,” by Santha Rama Rau.
Identify diction that gives evidence of a developing conflict between the girls and the headmistress in the first scene.
Answer:
Diction refers to the selection of certain words or phrases. In the first scene, the headmistress assigns new names to the girls, instead of their real Indian ones, simply because she finds Indian names difficult to pronounce.
The conflict can be perceived in both the dialogue and the narrator´s choice of words.
Explanation:
For example:
The author pejoratively says of the headmistress: "she still smiled her helpless inability to cope with Indian names".
The headmistress implies Indian names are not pretty when she says "Suppose we give you pretty English names." Then the narrator shows her sour attitude when describing her actions: "She shrugged in a baffed way at my sister." Of her sister, she explains how upset she was by saying "she kept a stubborn silence."
<span>B) And in a hall far brighter
than Woden’s Valhalla, the brave and good will be gathered forever.</span>
<span>Answer “B” is correct because
the way the sentence originally appears is with an error in parallelism. For a sentence to be parallel, it should have
list items (note that a list/series is two or more items) appear with
same/similar grammatical elements. The
original—“brave warriors and those who were good—consists of an adjective|noun (brave|warriors)
followed by and adjective|pronoun|verb|adjective (thoses|who|were|good), which is
thus not paralle. To correct this, as
well as make this more concise, you can just use adjectives—“brave” and “good”—and
that will make this sentence’s list parallel. </span>
