Answer:
In this short story by E. Lily Yu, the relationship between the collective narrator and the refugees is mediated by authority figures such as the media, the police, politicians, and even the beautiful aliens that claim that the refugees are criminals. Only one voice of dissent arises, when a woman refuses to consider the small ones as criminals, but the conformity bias makes the collective shut her down and agree with the authorities, besides the possibility of being helping in a genocide of the refugees.
Explanation:
Conformity bias refers to the power of people´s urge to fit in, as we usually prefer the harmony of a homogenous group consensus, even if it means doing something immoral or somehow reprehensible because everyone is doing it.
B: Blank verse
Epic poems typically have a regular meter but do not rhyme. Blank verse is metered, often in iambic pentameter, but unrhymed. A good example is John Milton's Paradise Lost.
The other options are not good choices because:
A: free verse does not have meter while epics usually do
C: rhymed verse is not common in epics - they are not rhymed
D: trochaic meter is a different meter that is much less common than iambic pentameter
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Pathos is a way of appealing to emotion or creating an emotional response. Sentence D does this by talking about the consequences of war. Think of the lives lost, which should bring forth a sadness and the horrors of war.
Answer: C. Pride and effort go hand in hand.
Explanation:
Assuming this is based on the story, <em>The Marfa Marlins </em>by<em> Jon Caswell</em>, the above is the correct answer.
In the story it is shown that the coaches and the team members did not feel pride in being in the Marlins and this led to them putting in little to no effort with the coaches making jokes instead of coaching and the players showing up late for practice.
Paul Scoggins tried to change this and challenges the coach to a little competition which he wins with the penalty being that the coach would go bald. This action led the coach to feel pride in the team and try to put in the effort to win the district. This attitude influenced others into becoming proud as well and then putting in the effort.
