6 0

Answer:

“The house was as still as still, but he thought he could just catch the faintest scratch-scratch in the world.”

Explanation:

Personification, though a figure of speech, is when you give an object or animal certain qualities and abilities that can be found only in human beings. Good writers try to use this figure of speech to bring inanimate things to life.

From the sentences of  "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" shown in the multichoice section, option A is the answer because House was talked about as if it was human.

How did victor feel about Emily in corpse bride?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Amazed but also freaked

Explanation:

When Victor was practicing his wedding vows, he slipped his ring onto her hand he mistook for a branch, causing Emily to rise from her grave. After chasing Victor, she took him to the Land of the Dead with her. There, he learned her story, and feigned agreement to marry her to return to the land of the living under the pretense of introducing her to his parents.

This led to a visit with Elder Gutknecht, a wise old skeleton well versed in the magic arts. He gave them a spell that took them to the Land of the Living. The moonlight made Emily feel overjoyed, and she gracefully danced around the woods.

Shortly after this, Victor left Emily there to wait. After a while, she took a bet with Maggot (who suggested that Victor was being unfaithful) and decided to look for Victor. She found him with Victoria Everglot, his true fiancé, and angrily took him back to the Underworld with her and greatly argued with him. Emily called Victoria “the other woman” while Victor tried to explain to her that she was the other woman, but Emily refused to listen and backed up her point by reminding him that she was married to him. Victor then states that they weren’t supposed to be married and accidentally said that he would never marry Emily, which breaks her.

Heartbroken, Emily went to her room and laments about what happened to her and that Victor doesn't love her, being comforted by Black Widow and Maggot while singing a sad yet beautiful song about her current undead status compared to a living young woman.

Later, she was playing a piano piece which was very similar to the one that Victor played in the day he met Victoria. Then Victor came to her room and played the piano along with her, leading them to reconcile with each other rather quickly.

Later, upon learning of the returned Barkis and Victoria's engagement, Victor felt betrayed by his lover, unaware that Victoria was forced into marrying Lord Barkis by her parents who were under the presumption that Barkis was rich.

Have you ever had an experience when you couldn't understand what someone was saying due to their poor diction? How did you over
uysha [10]
Yes, I have had that experience. I overcame it by asking what they meant. It hurt me, but when I asked them what they meant they stopped. Now we are friends. We go everywhere together. We have parties, sleepovers, and movie nights. Once I have used poor diction on accident. The person I used it on never forgave me. I am very sorry about that right now. From that moment, I have been careful with my diction. Whenever I think of saying a poor diction, I stop and think, should I, or should I just keep quiet. I always choose to keep quiet, so that I don't hurt someone's feelings.

Illusion [34]
The answer to the question is letter "B. Rising Action". This is the part of the work where the problem and the conflict central to the plot is introduced. To this point of the story, things get more complicated for the main characters. The main characters may have done something to counter the conflict in this part but it is not yet resolved.
