Answer:

I think that the tone of this passage is <em>regretful</em>. <u>The correct option in the last one.</u>

Explanation:

In these lines, the author tells how he/she perceives the reality of the white South Africans, he/she says that they are afraid of losing privileges, and that they "<em>would rather die</em>” than give up those privileges. These words are filled with sorrow, with sadness and without hope. The author tells this as a hard truth, but truth at last. <u>The author is not violent in this description</u>, he/she is <u>just pointing out the reality</u> and that is why I chose regretful as the correct tone for describing the excerpt. <u>The author is not directly judging the white South Africans acts, he/she is just giving information with a connotation of sorrow and regret.</u>

Write a personal narrative about a hero in your life.
Vlad [161]
Everyone has someone they look up to and want to be just like one day and everyone has different opinions and who a true hero is. My personal hero is my mother, Mavis Dillon. My mom is my favorite person in the world because she is always there when I need her the most and I don’t know where I would be today without her. She has blessed me with a great life and I am forever thankful for all she does for me. Nobody could ever compare to my mother. She is the most caring, loving, and genuine person I know and that is why she is my hero.

When I think of a hero, I think of someone who is brave, strong, hardworking, trustworthy, and unselfish. Someone who can protect you and make life better; my mom has all of those qualities. My mother was raised by two great parents and had a very good life growing up. She lived in a small town called East Bend, she was a cheerleader, and graduated from Forbush High School. After high school she went to college at Western Carolina University for four years and majored in Education and then went on to The University of North Carolina at Greensboro to get her masters in Administration Education. My mother had a job throughout college and worked hard to make good grades and have money to spend. She was very hardworking and did whatever it took to make her dreams possible. She has always told me college was the best years of her life and to enjoy being young while you can.

The basis for the imagery used in the underlined selections is: "the supernatural" (Option D) The textual evidence for this is found in the last line.

<h3>What is imagery?</h3>

Imagery is the intentional use of words to communicate to the reader an image that captures accurately the thought of the author.

In this excerpt, the author describes Lady Shalott in a form as though it was a ghost. We can infer this from the last line which indicates that she was dying or going to another place.

"They heard her singing her last song"

Were all occupational names given literally the occupation of the person given the name?
Valentin [98]
<span>Not all occupational names were given literally. For example, Farmer did not mean he worked on a farm with crops, it actually meant he was a tax collector. Also, the name Banker meant "dweller on a hillside" instead of what you probably thought it meant.</span>
