IF YOU READ THE BOOK" A LONG WALK TO WATER¨ CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION

At the beginning of the novel, Salva and his schoolmates endure the terrifying attack on their village and have to rush out into the bush. Out there Salva notes, "Overhead, a jet plane veered away like a sleek evil bird" (6). It is a stunningly simple and effective simile. The reader can envision the plane swooping above the frightened people, reminding them that danger can from below and above. The plane is like an animal in its power and predatory nature.

Simile: Salva's mouth

When Salva hears someone call his name and he turns around to see his uncle, Park writes, "Salva's mouth closed and opened again, as if he were a fish" (34). It is a comical image; the reader can sense through this effective simile that Salva is utterly agape and flabbergasted at the coincidence of encountering his uncle out here.

Which statements are true about "evidence"? select all that appy observations which answer questions proof that an idea is true
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

based on the info that you have provided:

evidence - proof, confirmation, verification are all synonyms.  

Explanation:

observations which answer questions - this would have to have been proved with empirical evidence - data evidence that has been proven more than one time. I would not choose this answer.

proof that an idea is true - i would choose this answer due to the wording of "proof"

information for or against an idea - this could be someone's opinion and not have valid data to prove.  notice that "proof" is not in this answer. I would not choose this answer.

data - this would be empirical info and I would choose this as an answer.

I hope this helps.

:)

1. Writers use all of the following to create tone and mood EXCEPT:
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: commas and semicolons

Explanation:

Tone is achieved through word choice (diction), sentence construction and word order (syntax), and by what the viewpoint character focuses on. Tone is created or altered by the way the viewpoint character/narrator treats the story problem and other characters, and by the way they respond to the events surrounding them.

Mood is what the reader feels while reading a scene or story. It’s not the reader’s emotions, but the atmosphere (the vibe) of a scene or story. It’s what the reader reads or feels or notices.
