Answer:

A -  the use of several short phrases connected by commas.

Explanation:

Reading those short phrases connected by commas give the excerpt a rhytm, a speed, and keeps up a pace.

" I was paralyzed with terror, cold with fright, ready to shout out, ready to die."

Option B: there isn't very detailed or descriptive imagery.

Answer:

A. use of several short phrases connected by commas

Explanation:

Because in this excerpt, "I looked all around me, but I cannot say how long I remained there;<u><em> I was paralyzed with terror</em></u><u><em>,</em></u><u><em> cold with fright</em></u><u><em>, </em></u><u><em>ready to shout out</em></u><u><em>, </em></u><u><em>ready to die</em></u>." First the author describes what happens which could be a full sentence on its own, but the author decided to conjoin the two sentences with a semicolon and teh second sentences lists three or more concepts (which is one of the 5 rules of ocmmas) and lists what he is ready for.

Read the passage.
GrogVix [38]

Answer: D. from hopeless to thankful

Explanation:

The mood of the first quatrain to the final couplet of this poem is going from hopeless to thankful. At first, William Shakespeare is telling the readers about love and marriage that seemed hopeless to him because he is considering love both beautiful, mysterious, and more but those mixed up feelings made his thoughts inspirational for his work. Because of that, he is thankful.

William Shakespeare on love: “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is wing'd cupid painted blind.”

Lena [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the biggest objects was the wall that divided Gerta and her family. Another one might be the tools they used to get to the West like the pulley they used to wash the clothes and the shovels they used. It also talks about a banana a lot in the story.

Sorry if this is incorrect. This would just be the answer I would put down for this question. Good Luck!!

Why thami points out that there were many more slaves in Egypt than soldiers<br>​
olga2289 [7]

The reason why Thami points out that there were many more slaves in Egypt than soldiers is to show the cruelty of the Pharoah in his building of the pyramids.

Thami references the building of the pyramids and laments that there are more slaves than there are soldiers in Egypt.

<h3>What is Slavery?</h3>

This refers to the subjugation of a person where he is reduced to a commodity to be bought and sold and used for labor.

Hence, we can see that based on the given poem, there is the narration by Thami about the use of slaves to build the pyramids in Egypt.

This observation also shows that there were many more slaves in Egypt than soldiers and this was to show the cruelty of the Pharoah in his building of the pyramids.
