This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read “By Any Other Name,” by Santha Rama Rau.
Identify diction that gives evidence of a developing conflict between the girls and the headmistress in the first scene.
Answer:
Diction refers to the selection of certain words or phrases. In the first scene, the headmistress assigns new names to the girls, instead of their real Indian ones, simply because she finds Indian names difficult to pronounce.
The conflict can be perceived in both the dialogue and the narrator´s choice of words.
Explanation:
For example:
The author pejoratively says of the headmistress: "she still smiled her helpless inability to cope with Indian names".
The headmistress implies Indian names are not pretty when she says "Suppose we give you pretty English names." Then the narrator shows her sour attitude when describing her actions: "She shrugged in a baffed way at my sister." Of her sister, she explains how upset she was by saying "she kept a stubborn silence."
1.) The correct answer for question 1 is "Blume is a gifted writer who can write for children as well as adults." The main idea of this paragraph is stated in the final sentence; it reads "Judy Blume is an exceptionally talented and productive American author." The third sentence ("However Blume also has...." ) supports this main idea because the ability to write well for two age groups implies she has a unique talent by writing for two age groups and was more productive by writing both for adults and children.
2.) The topic of this video game would be a 'A superbird saves the world'. The game does not focus on informing about radiation or nuclear power, so both 'Radiation leaks are dangerous' and 'Nuclear power plants' are not the topic of the game. Although a bird who eats radiation indeed has a superpower, the game does not focus on exploring the bird's powers, rather the topic is saving the world by eating the plants before the power plants explode and the world is destroyed.
3 ) The correct answer to 3 is "It points out that walking is a good introduction to exercise for beginners." The main idea of the paragraph is that it is "low impact and requires no fancy equipment". The third sentence supports this idea because people new to exercise may not be likely to invest in special equipment, and as newcomers to exercise they may be more susceptible to injuries and walking reduces their risk.
4.) As discussed in question 1, the main idea of this paragraph is that Blume is both an extremely talented and productive writer so the correct answer is "Blume is a gifted writer who can write for children as well as adults.
5) The main idea of this paragraph as discussed above is "Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment". The sentence support this idea by giving specific examples of injuries to tendons and muscles that are avoided when walking and by describing how, with the exception of "good sneakers", one does not need special equipment.
Answer:
B and D
Explanation:
Lines A and C use perfect rhyme (minds - finds), and so do lines E and F (cheeks - weeks).
The rhyme in the pair of lines B, D is formed by words with similar but not identical sounds. In the words <em>love</em> and <em>remove,</em> the final consonants are identical but the vowels sound different. That is why this type of rhyme is called slant thyme, or half rhyme.
