Answer:

Determination of pairs of words that best show how a single letter or pair of letters can have more than one sound is:

b. Archaeologist/Chile (the pairing of ch)

Explanation:

Archaeologist - the "ch" has a "k" pronunciation unlike the "ch" in Chile.  The "ch" in Chile has a pronunciation like the "sh + t "pronunciation.  This makes option A with the letter "d" the wrong answer, as the letter "d" as the same pronunciation in the words Discoveries/Deserts.  In the same way, option "c" with the letter "z" is a wrong answer, because the letter "z" has the same pronunciation in both Amazing/Zimbabwe.  So, we are left with the best answer as "b" with the pairing of "ch," which have different pronunciations in Archaeologist/Chile.

This great lyric poet wrote in such an unusual free verse style that publishers refused to publish his/her major book of poetry
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Walt Whitman

Explanation:

<u>Walt Whitman is usually called "the father of the free verse". </u><u>Whitman had to self-publish the first book of poems, </u><em><u>Leaves of Grass</u></em><u>, with his own money in 1855. It was considered too off the standards of British poetry of the time. </u>

Even if it is considered one of his greatest books to this day, only the few copies were sold and it received very mixed reviews at the time, especially because of the free verse he used.
