I think D is the best answer choice. for a work written around the time of the salem witch trials, you can better understand why extreme fear and condemnation of witchcraft might show up, and the author's purpose is a major thing to understand a work. C doesn't really make sense, because historical context is based on facts, so the context doesn't so much help you understand an author's attitude/opinion. B is true to some degree, but D is still a stronger answer as B is somewhat circular; historical context is an inherent part of a historical character? and A doesn't even make sense to me but i personally would go with D
These are antonyms!!
Resistant means that something can't affect it (the resistant object), or has a hard time affecting it. For example, water resistant shoes aren't easily affected by water; water cant pass through them as easily as non-water resistant shoes.
Yielding means that something is flexible or is influenced by another thing easily. For example, when you "yield" when driving, you are letting the other cars go before you; or, when an object "yields" to pressure, it is bending under pressure (though not quite breaking).
In summary: resistant means nothing can touch it, while yielding means that things easily affect it; thus, antonyms.
Answer: Metaphor
Explanation:
A Metaphor helps describe a character or variable by relating it to another character or Variable that is seemly unrelated to it but bears certain characteristics to it for comparison sake.
It essentially says one thing is another so that the original thing can be understood better.
For example, "every family has a black sheep". It is not saying that every family will have a sheep which is black but rather saying that at least one member of each family behaves differently from the rest.
In the above extract from Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run", Squeaky who is Raymond's sister is using a metaphor to describe her brother's penchant for using the curb as a Circus clown uses a rope high in the air.
<em>Adjectives</em> are the part of speech which qualifies the noun or pronoun. They may be placed before the qualifying word.
<u>For example,</u> this <em>cute</em> baby is eating an apple.
Whereas,<em> adverbs</em> refers to the set of words or word which qualifies the adjectives.
<u>For example,</u> the girls are speaking <em>softly</em>.
Hence, to form an adverb through adjective, they can be formed by adding –ly to the end of the word.
<u>For example,</u> they performed bad/badly in the exam
how did they perform? <em>badly</em>.
Hence, it is an adverb.
