I'm going to try my best to help, I'm pretty sure she's asking how the story's descriptiveness sets the setting. For example: "The forest winds wooshed by me as I stood by the home. Deciding whether to turn back or countinue."
Answer:
Employers require a college degree for most jobs.
Employers want new hires to have skills and traits acquired in college.
Explanation:
In the given passage, Lola makes a claim that <em>"A college degree is necessary in today's world"</em>. This is because most employers want someone who is efficient in the skills and traits that are taught during the four years of college.
And so, people looking for jobs have to have atleast a college degree if they want/ expect to be hired by employers. Added to that, the skills that most employers are on the lookout are those that are taught in colleges, like <em>"perseverance, analytical skills, and the ability to communicate"</em>.
Thus, the two points that Lola presents to support her claim of people's need for college degrees are the second and fifth options.
Answer:
The answer is third-person limited.
Explanation:
Let's discuss the terms first.
1. <em>Third-person omniscient </em>occurs when the narrator includes all the voices of all the characters in a story. That is, a story is told from different points of view. In this paragraph, we only know about Ben, what he does, sees, his boss.
2. <em>First person and third person</em>. The narrator uses the third person to talk about Ben but he neves uses the first person, i.e. <em>I</em> or <em>we</em>.
3. <em>First person</em>. The story is narrated by the character himself/herself. We know everything from his point of view. The use of "I" and "we" will appear this narrative.
4. Third person limited. This is the correct answer. The narrator presents one character and closely follows him: what he does, what he says, his feelings and thoughts. The characters are described using pronouns (he,she, they,etc). In this paragraph, the narrator includes Ben. He is described as being on a bench on his lunch break, watching the birds eat. He doesn't like being late. He is thinking about why his boss is never around. Every action revolves around Ben and you can find the proun "he" to describe him.
I believe that the question you should ask in order to understand an author's diction is What do these words have in common with each other?
Diction in literature is the choice of words, so I'm assuming this answer is correct.
