how does reihani create meaning by juxtaposing the words vague and terror in the phrase "vague terror" in paragraph 4?

1 answer:

3 0

"Vague terror" is terror that has no clear cause; as such, it is all-encompassing.

Usually terror is directly caused by something. For example, someone might have a terror of heights, crowds, or spiders. In these situations, the source of one's terror is clear, and avoiding the trigger (heights, crowds, spiders) is generally easy to do.

If terror were to have a clear source, it could be easily defined (and therefore easily combatted). When terror is vague, however, it cannot be easily defined (and cannot be easily defeated). Therefore, "vague terror" is much worse.

Select the correct words to put in the blanks in the sentence below.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

When running an important cross country race, Jenny prefers to wear these sneakers instead of those sneakers."

Explanation:

Considering the structure of the sentence and the blanks available in the sentence, it is easy to imply that the correct words for the blanks are "these, those". This makes the new and full sentence as "when running an important cross country race, Jenny prefers to wear these sneakers instead of those sneakers."

Considering the other options and placing them in the blanks doesn't make or produce a meaningful and correct sentence. So, the only correct option answer is to use option D.

Which sentence is the hook in this introductory paragraph? For the first time in decades, Baby Boomers have been outnumbered by

Leya [2.2K]

The hook is usually the sentence which occurs toward the beginning of the paragraph. It's main objective is to catch the readers attention and make them want to continue reading. (It's kind of like the thumbnail of a Youtube video, it catches the viewers attention.) Anyway, now that we have reviewed what a hook is, let's use the process of elimination to find our answer. A. cannot be the answer. It is a part of the beginning of the passage. It also is a fact, and is not written in a way that can attract a reader's attention and make them want to continue reading. The same goes for B. This is simply just not something that would attract a reader's attention. C is also not the answer. Once again, this statement fails to attract the reader's attention. So, this leaves us with the correct answer, D. Not only is this the first sentence in the paragraph, it also attracts the reader's attention and makes them want to read the rest of the passage.
