The fish died, because, using context clues, the word mournfully is usually associated with death or someone/ something leaving, and since a fish couldn't swim away, we would have to believe that the fish has died.

The word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

The goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. The "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. He could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.

identify examples of personification and the effect that they have on the meaning and tone of the text

You will need to provide the text that you are analysing for a specific answer, but basically, you are looking for any time where the author has used describing words that you would use for humans on object or animal, or where the author is making the object/animal use human characteristics like speech.
the effect that this may have on the piece could be that it creates a friendlier atmosphere if the object/animals are described in a positive and useful way but it can work in reverse as well.

Which detail from 'Heart of darkness' shows the ineffectiveness of the colonizers
allsm [11]

Answer:

D: a warship fires at the land, even though there is nothing there to shoot.

Explanation:

"Heart of Darkness" (1899) is Joseph Conrad's masterpiece novel. The major themes of the novel are imperialism, colonialism, and racism.

There are many examples of colonials ineffectiveness throughout the novel. The selected option is just one instance. Another famous one is in the leveling of the cliff for no apparent purpose. The narrator satirizes that may be it was just for philanthropic purpose of keeping the slaves busy. A pointless attempt to extinguish a burning grass hut is one more such example to show colonials inefficiency in Africa.
