Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, an

d answer the question that follows:
Yet deeper than character, or even place, is another concept: voice. More than any other doorway to the imagination, I find this one the trickiest to open—and the hardest to close. For a character's true voice is heard, its tones, cadences, and ideas are long remembered.

The ancients [people from ancient history] used anima, in fact, to describe breath as well as soul. That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath—the voice—of a character lies its essential spirit. If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader.

Which phrase explicitly states the author's attitude about voice?

It is the trickiest door to open.
The ancients invented it.
Only the writer hears it.
The reader will always hear it.

Answer:

It is the trickiest door to open.

Explanation:

The phrase that explicitly states the author's attitude about the voice is the first one. If we find the same phrase in the text <em>(I find this one the trickiest to open)</em><em>, </em>we can see that it's preceded by words<em> I find</em>. This means that he personally considers that door the trickiest to open. That is his attitude, and he reveals it to us explicitly, leaving no room for doubt.

The rest of the statements are incorrect because:

  • Ancients using the voice is a fact. That is not an opinion.
  • Statements that only the writer hears the voice and that the reader will always hear it are incorrect. The sentence from the passage that proves this is: <em>If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader. </em>

When Elizabeth saw Heathcliff what did she say?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Heathcliff enters and Hareton leaves, "to enjoy his grief and anger in solitude” (303). Heathcliff moodily confides to Lockwood that Hareton reminds him more of Catherine Earnshaw than he does of Hindley. He also tells Lockwood that he will still have to pay his full rent even if he leaves the Grange, to which Lockwood, insulted, agrees. Heathcliff invites Lockwood to dinner, and informs Cathy that she can eat with Joseph in the kitchen. Lockwood eats the cheerless meal and leaves, contemplating the possibility of his courting Cathy and bringing her "into the stirring atmosphere of the town” (304). and tell him he is moving to London :

Nicole is presenting a speech on black holes. Part of her speech support is a set of complex statistics. What is a likely reason
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Visual aids can increase the audience's interest and understanding on a topic.

Explanation:

When explaining a complex or long concept to an audience, the speaker has to avoid information overload so as not to lose the audience's attention, which is usually short-spanned. Visual aids such as infographics can help summarize the information, exemplify the concepts through images, make it more memorable and simple to understand, etc.

The reason why people can process information better through images is that, according to studies (such as the study <em>Functional representation of vision within the mind: A visual consciousness model based in 3D default space </em> by RavinderJeratha, Molly W.Crawforda and Vernon A.Barnesb), between 50-80% of the human brain is used for some sort of visual processing.
