Answer 1

Answer:

Check Explanation section.

(Plot, setting, style, figurative language).

Explanation:

Starting from the introducing words that later lead to the PLOT, that is the statement; "Where’s Blunt?" Shows the style In which Hatch impatiently wants to meet with Blunt. We can see how Allen uses literary elements and techniques to convey what Hatch’s interactions with other characters reveal about him.

Also, Allen make use of FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE in the book by making use of the sentences such as the two sentences below;

(1). "He spoke to a moving window."

(2). '' Mamma spoke from the dark cavelike inside".

The blinking of the eyes shows Blunt's behavior and the use of "She was sposed..." Shows Hatch character that is to say the use of REPETITION.
