The correct answer is: Short phrases that make the reader interested.

Some authors recommend the use of short sentences as the genre requires variety and flow to avoid repetition and boredom. In this way the pace of the reading is increased keeping the reader's attention. I read an example that was very helpful, imagine someone that is anxious or scared, when he sepaks he uses few words at a time, forming complex sentences turns difficult. By writing with short sentences you can be able to transmit this kind of emotions in a more effective way. Remember that suspense's objective is to make the reader wonder at all time if the protagonist will overcome the problems presented, the reader must frecuently face uncertainty.

Highlight all instances of parallel structure. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserv

Marat540 [252]

"If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve", "if we mean not basely to abandon" AND "which we have been so long contending", "which we have been so long engaged", "which we have pledged".

Parallelism is the repetition of the same grammatical structure. There are two instances of parallel structure in this excerpt. The first is the "If we ___ to ___" structure. The second is the "which we have _______" structure. By filling the passage with this parallel structure is gives the sense of a list of reasons that all, compounding on top of one another, logically lead to the need to fight. The change from the parallel structures in the last line "we must fight!" makes this exclamation stand out and hold power.

Read the claim below.

Katen [24]

Answer:

Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts.

Explanation:

The piece of evidence that best supports this claim is "Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts".

Actually, who are the taxpayers? They are private citizens, corporations and foundations. That means if the government is using taxpayers' money to fund arts, indirectly it means that the billions of dollars spent each year to support arts are the monies of the private citizens, corporations and foundations. This then means that these private citizens, foundations and corporations are actually the ones supporting the arts through the taxes they pay.

Read the excerpt from Hamlet.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

This excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, draws this conclusion about Claudius that he is not a popular king.

Explanation:

Claudius always cared about being a King. That’s the reason why he got King Hamlet killed at the first go. He cares about holding onto the throne which is well-understood when he marries Gertrude, the king’s widow and the mother of Prince Hamlet. He is also aware that he’s not a popular king. The public loves Hamlet for which he knows that he just can't arrest him for the murder of Polonius. Claudius’s words point towards his intentions. He wants Prince Hamlet out of his way and he knows that he has to do it in a tricky and twisted way or else the public will support Hamlet and not him.
