Read the passage. excerpt from "A Relay Race to Remember" Sean positioned himself for the dive and then splashed in; in an insta

nt, he was gliding through the water like a dolphin. He put plenty of distance between himself and the Raiders’ swimmer as they turned into the final lap. As Sean came down the stretch, it looked as though the water held out a hand and pulled him down the swim lane. He reached the wall first and immediately looked for his time on the screen. How does the simile "he was gliding through the water like a dolphin" affect the story? It offers Malik's point of view on Sean's swimming and further develops Malik as a character. It provides a complete, if unsatisfying, ending to the story. It develops the theme of the story by making a comparison between how Malik swam and how Sean swam. It injects surprise into the story by making a comparison that conveys how well Sean performs in the race.

The right answer is alternative four.

In the excerpt from "A Relay Race to Remember," the expression "he was gliding through the water like a dolphin" injects surprise into the story by making a comparison between that conveys how well Sean performs in he race. The phrase describes that Sean swims as well as a dolphin, meaning that he executes brilliantly at the race.

The rest of the options are not correct because the remark does not develop Malik's character or depicts how he swims, and it is not the end of the story.

Do you think the concept of identity has changed since Shakespeare’s time? Do last names
Alex73 [517]

Indeed, last names still hold as much as weight as they once did since the time of Shakespeare.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The concept of identity has actually not changed since the time of Shakespeare, as the increase of work in literary field not only developed in the world of drama and fiction but also the rise of theories.

Indeed, last names still hold as much as weight as they once did since the time of Shakespeare. It builds up a separate respect for the readers as well as gives an understanding about the author though the books no more describe them.

The speaker’s tone in "Harlem" is best described as frustrated. conflicted. joyful. accepting.
worty [1.4K]
The speaker's tone in "Harlem" is best described as frustrated.

The poem's imagery helps to convey this tone. In discussing a deferred dream, Hughes describes a dried up raisin in the sun; a festering sore; stinking, rotting meat; and a sagging, heavy load. At the end of the poem, he wonders if the deferred dream just explodes.

This imagery helps provide the key to understanding the speaker's attitude, or tone, about his subject, the deferred dream. He is frustrated that these dreams are wasted.

How will Charlie most likely change after his experience at the diner in part 2 of "Flowers for Algernon"?
loris [4]

Answer:

He will be more sympathetic to those who are similar to the way he once was.

Explanation:

From the book, "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, Charlie Gordon was once mentally ret*rded but he became more intelligent after he underwent surgery.

He has an experience in the diner one day after a mentally ret*rded boy mistakenly crashes some plates and receives cruel taunts from the other customers and the boy who does not know he is being taunted and insulted, smiles with them and this episode makes Charlie so angry that he shouts to the insensitive crowd that the boy is a human and thus deserves respect.

This experience would likely change Charlie because He will be more sympathetic to those who are similar to the way he once was.
