Answer:

C). Both use flashback to provide crucial background to the characters' situation.

Explanation:

Literary techniques play a vital role in creating the desired impact and elicit an intended response from the audience.

As per the question, both the stories 'Gumption' by Langston Hughes and 'To Build a Fire' authored by Jack London's employ 'flashback technique to indicate the background and context of the story in association to the characters' situation' that assists the readers to have a background or context of how the events are associated which serves them to provide a comprehensive understanding of the story.

Which of the following is a complex sentence?

Flauer [41]

In my opinion, the correct answer is C. As Jake was reading the email from June yet again, the flight attendant coughed gently to get his attention.

A complex sentence has one independent clause (that can stand on its own), and two or more dependent (subordinate) clauses. In this case, the independent clause is "the flight attendant coughed gently to get his attention". The dependent one starts with a subordinator "as". The other options are compound sentences - made of two or more independent clauses which are connected with coordinators (but, and).

The words to the hymn "Blessed Be the Tie that Binds" are below. Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The f

Kitty [74]

The value of the smallest events in our lives build up the content of our own lives, our decisions thus the result of our actions. Health, love, relationships, food and feelings sometimes are given for granted, it is only when one lives or goes through a problem that we are able to reflect on their importance.

Act I: Daily life, which describes the history of the town (Grover's Corners, new Hampshire, 1901), and tells about the lives of common people, could contain the following verses: Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one Our comforts and our cares.

Act II: Love and marriage (three years later) is mainly about a couple who is about to get married, they love each other but are not sure about wedding, in the end they follow their families's wishes and get married. Possible verses: We share each other's woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. When we must sunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And hopes to see the day.

Act III:Death and Eternity, after nine years, the life in the town have changed dramatically, it even takes place in the graveyard, some citizens passed away by accidents, illness, even suicide. The girl who got married on the second act, Emily, died as well. She is able to witness how people (living ones) do not realize the importance of the value of life. Verses: But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And hopes to see the day. From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.
