D because her writing style sound mostly at peace and acceptance...ready for death to take her away
Irving writes that no one really knows what happened to Tom's wife, however when Tom finds the missing checked cloth with a heart and liver inside and observes the scene near it, he concludes that his wife must have battled the devil and eventually lost--not easily, though, because Tom notices that there were
"many prints of cloven feet deeply stamped about the tree, and several handsful of hair, that looked as if they had been plucked from the coarse black shock of the woodsman. Tom knew his wife's prowess by experience."
The description is ironic on a couple of counts. First, the fact that Tom's wife was so stingy and stubborn that she would have given the devil a harsh time bargaining and fighting fits into Irving's typical, ironic description of the nagging wife. Secondly, the last sentence refers back to the abuse that Tom often suffered at the hands of his wife, and he almost sympathizes for the devil in regards to the battle between him and Mrs. Walker.
The correct answer is B. it does not follow a formal structure.
Let us first go through all of these options in order to determine the structural characteristics of <em>Forgetfulness, </em>by Billy Collins.
Option A is incorrect - if you count the syllables in each line, you will see that the first one has 11, the second one 13, and so on - so, not 10.
Option C is also incorrect - there are actually 8 stanzas, and they are not of equal length.
Option D is also incorrect - there are no rhymes in this poem.
So, by the process of elimination, the correct answer is B - this poem doesn't follow a formal structure - it is rather a free verse poem containing stanzas of varying lengths.
Answer:
Reporters.
Explanation:
This one was a little harder because it could be either journalists or reporters interchangeably, since they are just about the same thing. The only reason reporters is the correct one here is because journalism ranges from news/opinion/article <em>writing</em> and other press work such as on-site interviews mentioned above. It's too vague in comparison. Reporters, however, are more specific and work a more limited job of reporting on camera and holding interview sessions with important figures for a news story solely.
Also, the definition for "media representative" is an individual employed by a civilian radio or television station, newspaper, news company, magazine, periodical, or news agency to gather and report on a newsworthy event.
So, in this case, the best definition of that would be reporter.
