The hook is usually the sentence which occurs toward the beginning of the paragraph. It's main objective is to catch the readers attention and make them want to continue reading. (It's kind of like the thumbnail of a Youtube video, it catches the viewers attention.) Anyway, now that we have reviewed what a hook is, let's use the process of elimination to find our answer. A. cannot be the answer. It is a part of the beginning of the passage. It also is a fact, and is not written in a way that can attract a reader's attention and make them want to continue reading. The same goes for B. This is simply just not something that would attract a reader's attention. C is also not the answer. Once again, this statement fails to attract the reader's attention. So, this leaves us with the correct answer, D. Not only is this the first sentence in the paragraph, it also attracts the reader's attention and makes them want to read the rest of the passage.

Sources: I am a natural born American, so English is my first language. My mom is an English teacher, so I learned these types of things at a very young age.

Highlight evidence of magic realism.
Marianna [84]

Instances of magic realism in the passage with explanations are listed down.

Explanation:

<em />

<em>"Her husband </em>

<em>emerges from the light and comes toward </em>

<em>her, taller than the palms, walking on water"</em>

<em />

This part of the passage employs the technique of magic realism.

It is when the improbable things like myths, legends, larger than life comparisons are interspersed in a realistic narrative so as to make sense of things that do not otherwise make much sense.

Here, the woman does not believe her eyes when her husband appears in the skyline so the imagery that describes his appearance is used in this way to convey the magical emotion.
