What always happens during active reading is A. The reader is engaged with and thinking about a text.
The definition of <em>active reading is reading something with attention, engagement, and determination to understand it.</em> When the reader engages critically with the content, asking himself or herself assessment questions during his or her reading, writing down key-words and pondering about the content, he or she is reading actively. <em>It consists of a comprehension technique that necessarily depends on the reader's engagement with the text.</em> Therefore, the correct answer is A.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>B. The reader is reading a piece of literature aloud.</em> Reading aloud is <em>one of the techniques used in active reading, but it isn't necessary and it doesn't always happen during active reading.</em> Some people use this technique in order to focus better. Some people prefer reading silently, but use other techniques to engage with the reading. So, the correct answer couldn't be B.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>C. The reader is thinking about an author's other works</em>. Collecting research information and data from an author's other works<em> can help the reader engage and have more ideas about the text he or she is reading, but it is not something necessary to read actively,</em> therefore, it doesn't happen always during active reading. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be C.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>D. The reader is summarizing a text. Summarizing a text is just another technique</em> used to engage with the text. There are <em>many different techniques used to read actively</em>, and summarizing is one of them. Not everybody uses the same techniques because everyone's learning process is different. T<em>hey don't have to use the same techniques, as long as they engage and read critically in order to understand the content</em> of what they are reading. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be D.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The imagerys can be seen in the lines:
Plum-sweet they swell;
their thin skins hold moist red earth.
Explanation:
Imagery is the figure of speech used when the author wants to describe objects, situations and actions in a way that stimulates the reader's five senses, allowing him to hear, see and feel the characteristics of the description. We can see an example of imagery in the lines above, as the author describes features in which the reader knows the sensation and can feel it again when reading the lines.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: The Aurora
Explanation:
The Aurora was the first steamboat of the year for the Outside, and her decks were jammed with prosperous adventurers and broken gold seekers, all equally as mad to get to the Outside as they had been originally to get to the Inside. Near the gang-plank, Scott was shaking hands with Matt, who was preparing to go ashore.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Unclear question. However, I provided a brief about a verb and clause.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the English language, a verb refers to words that help describes an action done by a person or thing (the subject), or the state of the subject of a sentence. A clause other hand is the smallest grammatical unit that can express a complete thought in a sentence. Hence, the verb clause is a type of clause that acts as an independent clause in a sentence.
For example, the sentence; "The boys are trying very hard." 
 
        
             
        
        
        
D) For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
