English

zepelin [54]2 years ago

Answer:

no

yes

yes

no

Explanation:

Jasmine saw a frog in the road. This does not use descriptive language, because the author does not specifically state anything about Jasmine, the frog, or even the road.

She suspiciously eyed the fluffy white poodle that was decorated with fluorescent pink bows. This does use descriptive language, because of how detailed the information is.

The sky was a dull and murky gray. Descriptive language was also used in the sentence, because the sky is so specifically described.

The boy watched his brother play on the swing set. Not specifically described, so no descriptive language is used.

Direct characterization can be shown through the
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

description of one or more characters

Explanation:

<u>Direct characterization is also known as explicit characterization as it is a straightforward description of the character’s appearance or personality.</u> It means that the w<u>riter directly states how the character looks and acts</u>. For example, it can be “She was very tall and had brown hair” or “He was a loud, daring person”.

It is the opposite of indirect characterization, which means the writer tries to explain the character’s traits and personality through their actions, thoughts, responses, the way they dress, etc.

<u>To compare them in the example: direct characterization would be saying “She was very poor”. </u>Indirect characterization would be “She wore old clothes handed to her by her older sister. She could never afford to go with us to the cinema.”

Which of these phrases use the best voice and word choice for an adventure story?
devlian [24]

Answer: I'd strongly say D

Explanation:

A and B are just describing a current setting and the mood of the characters without much pop of an adventure, so I'd eliminate A and B.

C is tempting to choose, but for me, it would be a semi-trap answer considering the other option of D, which I'll further elaborate on later. C is depicting to the reader of the grandma apprising a girl about her journey to America, which is not that adventurous in the present because grandma is just saying a story, not being physically in it. I'd say this maybe could work because grandma is also technically being in an adventure in the past, but there could be a stronger option. Also, it kind of seems boring, and adventurous stories have to be adventurous. I'd eliminate it personally.

D perfectly matches the tone of an adventurous story. According to the Oxford Dictionary, adventure is described as an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. You don't usually see somebody running so quickly on the street, and it seems exciting to the reader because it grabs their attention, and they are not just focused on one setting. We don't know who or what is causing him to run so much, but it definitely includes a physical activity. Aside from the definition, it also provides a lot of excruciating detail, so it makes it seem adventurous.

The answer is D.

C is also a good option, but D is stronger. If D was not there, C would be your best option.
