1. The correct answer is dialects.

A dialect is a substandard form of a language - this means that it is a type of a language spoken in one area of a country, and it is usually not completely grammatically correct. If you take a look at the excerpt above, you can see that it is definitely not formal - using expressions such as 'woulda,' 'being brung,' etc. is rather colloquial.

2. The correct answer is credible.

When Mark Twain used colloquialisms and dialects in his novel, he wanted to portray these people as they were. He wanted his readers to believe him, to think that there are really people like that, and to be able to imagine the spirit of the time perfectly.

3. The correct answer is realist.

Mark Twain was a realist writer - the authors during the era of Realism (19th and part of 20th century) wanted to portray real people, emotions, events. They didn't want to embellish their literature, but rather to write about actual people, believable people, credible people. Mark Twain was no different.

Stay tuned to this station for further reports that will update listeners to possible locations for this weather system’s landfa
Rasek [7]

The last sentence, about listening to the station will update the audience about the weather system ashore is the best-revised statement. Thus, option d is correct.

<h3>What is repetition?</h3>

The <u>complete question</u> is: Stay tuned to this station for further reports that will update listeners to possible locations for this weather system’s landfall. Which edit would avoid repetition and make this sentence easier to understand?

a. This weather system has the possibility of coming ashore in several locations, so keep listening to this station’s weather reports for further updates.

b. How close this weather system will come to our Texas coast is uncertain, so keep listening to this station for further reports, including updates.

c. Whether or not this weather system comes ashore along the Texas coast is yet to be reported, so stay tuned to this station for further reports.

d. Keep listening to this station for updated reports about where this weather system will possibly come ashore.

Repetition is the action that includes the recurrence of the words and phrases that describes any situation or event. The use of repetitive words is avoided to make the simple and easy to read.

The last sentence is the best statement that is revised as it is very specific and easy to understand. The clear meaning and the intention are portrayed through those words.

Therefore, the edit in the last sentence avoids repetition and makes the sentence easy.

What type of figurative language are these?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Hyperbole: I swear I'll love you for a million years

Personification: my pencil dances over the blank page

Metaphor: my sister is a dragon fierce and mean​

Explanation:

Figurative Language helps bring an appealing effect in the writing. There are many types of Figurative Languages like Simile, metaphor, Personification, Hyperbole, Alliteration to name a few.

In hyperbole there is use of exaggeration in the writing. In sentence 1, it says that I will love for million years, which is exaggeration of the time for which the person will love the other one. It only means that person will love the other one forever, a long time. So, it is a use of Hyperbole.

Second sentence uses personification as compares a non living thing to a characteristic of a living thing. Pencil is an object which cannot dance, but it is mentioned in this sentence. So, it is personifying pencil.

Third sentence is a metaphor as sister is called dragon in this. She is being called fierce like a dragon.
