Answer:

The poem's allusion to the 1982 Brixton riot:

C. illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem's subject matter.

Explanation:

This excerpt was taken from part XXIII of Derek Walcott's "Midsummer". Born in 1930 in Saint Lucia, Walcott received several awards for his works, including the Nobel Prize. He passed away in 2017.

The simile we are analyzing here compares the summer leaves to the Brixton riot. This may seem to be quite an unlikely comparison, which is probably what the author was aiming for. It is quite powerful to compare a season to a riot and its violence. As a matter of fact, as the poem goes on, the author continues to do so. He compares, for instance, leaves and branches to cattle being whipped. All of that unusual comparison aims to illustrate the author's feelings toward his subject matter, which is clearly quite strong.

Radda [10]

Answer:

Write"s" for a complete sentence. Write"f" for a fragment.Sentences have two parts. There is a naming part and there is a tellin
defon

Answer and Explanation:

A fragment is a group of words that looks like a sentence but lacks something essential to make sense. We can easily classify the groups of words below by noticing if there is something missing.

1. We had pizza for lunch - S

2. Snowed last night - F --> Even though we can understand what this group of words says, it is missing the "naming part". We do not have a subject.

3. The basement was cold  - S

4. The wooden fence - F ---> Now we are missing the "telling part". What about the wooden fence? We know the wooden fence is the topic, but we are not told anything else about it.

5. The flowers grew in the garden - S

6. The doorbell - F ---> The same case here as in number 4. What about the doorbell? The telling part is missing.

7. Dogs can do many tricks - S

Which piece of evidence provides the best support for the answer to Part A?
alexandr1967 [171]

Explanation:

I could not find the piece of evidence that is missing in your question but I will tell you some information about how to find it easier by yourself.

Evidence should have the facts and pieces of information that are supporting the beliefs or ideas. It should be proof of something right. For example, if we have an assignment where we must tell if some statement is true or falls, we must know the evidence and the proof for supporting our answer and what makes that answer right, what supports it.

So, for finding the best support for the answer to part two you must find the evidence that will be the most helpful one for solving it.

What is the hardest part about writing? What can you improve on? How can you work on improving that skill?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The most difficult part of writing for me is the introduction paragraph.  While the rest of the essay largely follows a set structure, the intro is much more freestyle.  This often gives me writers block.  I think I can improve by studying the pyramid method, in which I start broad and get more specific.
