I don't why, but the correct answer is "his," so the answer is (A.)
It should properly be "their," but it is wrong if you are using gradpoint, use answer choice (A.), "his."
Answer:
by deleting the quatrain and sestet and adding a couplet with an ee rhyme scheme
Explanation:
An Italian sonnet is made up of an octave and a sestet. The octave has the rhyme scheme of ABBA ABBA, while the sestet has the rhyme schemes of CDE CDE, CDC DCD.
So, if the student wants to edit the sonnet to make it consistent with an Italian sonnet, then he should delete the quatrain and sestet and add a couplet with an EE rhyme scheme.
I believe your answer is The words modest and unimpressive impart a modest tone. Hope this helps!

This question is incomplete because the options were not given; here is the complete question:
Which lines from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe" contain an example of characterization?
A. Ringed by the tall brick walls Semíramis had built—so we are told.
B. If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe.
C. The wall their houses shared had one thin crack, which formed when they were built and then was left
D. When first light had banished night's bright star-fires from the sky and sun had left the brine-soaked meadows dry
The answer to this question is B. "If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe"
Explanation:
In literature, characterization involves using details to explain the traits of characters, this includes their personality, physical traits, qualities, among others. This literary device can be seen in the excerpt "If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe" because, in this, the narrator describes Thisbe, who is one main character of the story. Also, the narrator focuses on one important trait of this character, which is her greater charm that according to the narrator could only be found in Thisbe.
Answer:
D. Jake tore up the main character's socks.
Explanation:
Well, all of the other answers do not make sense.
B does not make sense beacause Jake probably also eats other things and nothing in the passage says he only eats socks.
C does not make sense because nothing in the passage says Jake is the main chaecters brother.
A and D were probably the answers you were confused with.
A would kinda make sense but it is quite obvious that in the passage they do not focus on the fact that Jake brought the socks to the kitchen at all.
They focus on the fact Jake broke the sock.
So D would be a reasonable explanation and is basically the only one that makes sense.
That is my answer!
