5 0

Read the excerpt from H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds.

The peculiar V-shaped mouth with its pointed upper lip, the absence of brow ridges, the absence of a chin beneath the wedgelike lower lip, the incessant quivering of this mouth, the Gorgon groups of tentacles, the tumultuous breathing of the lungs in a strange atmosphere, the evident heaviness and painfulness of movement due to the greater gravitational energy of the earth—above all, the extraordinary intensity of the immense eyes—were at once vital, intense, inhuman, crippled and monstrous. There was something fungoid in the oily brown skin, something in the clumsy deliberation of the tedious movements unspeakably nasty.

Which statement best describes how Wells conveys his purpose with this excerpt?

A) He provides quotes from experts.
B) He shares data about the creature.
C) He appeals to the reader's beliefs.
D) He uses detailed physical description.

Answer: D) He uses detailed physical description.

In an effective speech the speaker____.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{Clearly \ introduces \ the \ topic}}$

Explanation:

In an effective speech the speaker clearly introduces the topic

[ Spends little time developing the topic ] This answer is incorrect.

In order to ensure a clear and strong speech, taking time to develop and create a valid topic is vital. This ensures that the audience will understand and clearly follow your speech. The topic also provides the barriers and grounds for your speech.

[ States main ideas but does not support them with details ] Evidence and details are needed in ensuring a valid speech. Main ideas are just ideas to the wind without backup, evidence and details. Main ideas hook to the topic, but details hook to the main idea.

[ Allows the listener to come up with his or her own conclusion ] This is not a debate. When giving a speech, this is your time, and when it is your time this is when you give your ideas and your topic. Sometimes you can engage with your audience, but you are not to allow them to give your speech for you.

What type of figurative language is used in this sentence from James Joyce's "The Dead"?

Alexus [3.1K]

I think it’s B, alliteration, due to the repetitive uses of ‘s’ and ‘f’ (faintly falling, soul swooned, etc.) I’m not positive but I hope this helps some :)
