Which excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" contains an example of personification?
A.The priest approached the grave slowly, wondering how they had managed to dig into the frozen ground. . . .
B.His fingers were stiff, and it took him a long time to twist the lid off the holy water.
C.The wind pulled the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the corn meal and pollen that had been sprinkled on the blanket.
D. He felt good because it was finished, and he was happy about the sprinkling of the holy water. . . .
Answer:
C.The wind pulled the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the corn meal and pollen that had been sprinkled on the blanket.
Explanation:
Personification is the literary element that gives human attributes to inanimate objects.
The wind is not a living thing but it is depicted as pulling down the priest's Franciscan robe and swirling away the corn meal and pollen that were already sprinkled on the blanket.
Personification in summary is using human attributes like walking, laughing, crying, singing, etc to depict non living things.
Marullus points out that if the Commoner is a carpenter, as he reports in line 6, he should not be out on the streets.
Okay, lets start from the beginning. I'm going to assume the worksheet means/is asking how long/short the sound would be from the object. So...
1) Light bulb - Long
2) Bricks/Cinderblocks - Short
3) Hair Dryer - Long
4) Swimming - Long
5) Whistle - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
6) Crying/Wailing - Long
7) Fencing - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
8) Grilling - Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
9) Flies/Bug - Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
10) Smiling- Short
11) Eating Pie/Pie in General - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
12) Jumping off a cliff. Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
scientific theories are mostly approved after they have been researched fully and can be backed up with evidence.
Explanation:It is less unlikely that the theory will change except that it can be improved when the new evidence is discovered due to the fact that they are based on discovered evidence.
Theory of gravity for example there is a proven evidence that there is a pulling force knows as the force of gravity that keeps us from floating on earth whereas in space the lack of that force causes one to float this is backed up by evidence that are visible and can be tested all over again.
