Read the excerpt from "A Computer Can Now Translate Languages as Well as a Human" by Vanessa Bates Ramirez. I remember standing

on the platform at Tokyo Station watching my train to Nagano—the last train of the day—pulling away without me on it. What ensued was a frustrating hour of gestures, confused smiles, and head-shaking as I wandered the station looking for someone who spoke English (my Japanese is unfortunately nonexistent). It would have been really helpful to have a bilingual pal along with me to translate. Which dictionary entry defines the word ensued as used in the excerpt?
English

Answer:

3. to occur as a result of

Explanation:

The resultant frustration that the narrator in the text felt was because the train left him. This explains the dictionary meaning of the word ensue which is, "to occur as a result of". What occurred in this story was the frustration, confusion, and mindless wandering of the traveler because the train at the Tokyo Station left without him.

The context of stories help in the correct deduction of the meaning of words. As seen in the above instance, the meaning of the word ensued is deduced from the context.

Analyzing Pivotal Words and Phrases Directions Carefully read the poem "Heart to Heart" by Rita Dove. Although the title of the
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The author uses Pivotal Words to reference ideas and metaphors about the heart. For example, the word "neither" (Alternative word) is used to describe it as not red nor sweet, two characteristics often related to a loving heart.

Explanation:

The reference to melting or breaking a heart appears as the cause of not being able to feel pain through the word "so" (Cause and effect word).

"Still" (Contrast and change words) is used to establish a contrast between the mute heart and its powerful beat. In the same way, the word "but" is used to set a contrast between what the heart wants and the impossibility of letting it free.

The last line uses "now", a time word, and "too", an Additive word to describe offering one´s heart.
