Answer:

The answer is indeed imagery.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing). It involves readers, helping them visualize what is being described.  Readers are, thus, able to imagine a certain scenery, action, smell, or even a sound from the way it is described in the text. In this excerpt of "The Great Gatsby",  Nick's description of the party is vivid due to the way he chooses his words to picture it. He could very well have said it was fun, loud, and bright, but he chooses to help readers understand and visualize how:

fun - readers can imagine the sort of music the orchestra is playing as people hold their yellow cocktails in hand;

loud - readers can hear in their minds as the opera pitches a key higher, on top of all the people already talking and laughing around the house;

bright - readers can see the house turning on all its lights as the evening comes, as if the absence of the sun was no big deal.

Write two or more sentences to explain how climate change can affect plants and animals.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Climate change, contrary to popular belief, is not only global warming. Yes, the Earth is becoming warmer than it has ever been, but places like Texas are experiencing colder weather during the winter as well. This winter, Texas got hit with a giant snowstorm and Texans didn't know how to respond, since most natives have never even seen snow before. If climate change continues, animals and plants that thrive in warmer climates may be driven out of their habitats, and some may even go extinct. With global warming, we may also see the oceans begin to see an increase in temperature, which may begin to affect animals living in our oceans. Also, our polar ice caps are also beginning to melt, which is driving polar bears and penguins out of their habitats and may even lead to extinction of both species. If we don't begin to prioritize climate change, animals and plants may begin to disappear.
