True [87]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer</u>:

The meaning of the following passage changed if Wiesel used the word “pain” instead of “anguish” as C: “Anguish” carries more intense connotations, so using that word instead of “pain” raises the intensity of the passage.

<u>Explanation</u>:

'Anguish' means 'severe pain' or anxiety. It can also be used as a verb and is used when someone is felling extremely distressed about something.

Use of anguish refers to stronger pain one might feel. Whereas, 'pain' refers to a feeling of suffering caused by a damage. It lowers the intensity of the feeling of the person when used in a sentence as compared to use of 'anguish'. Use of anguish brings out deep emotions of the character. Thus, its use raises the intensity of the language used by the author.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Anguish also means a kind of pain, but it denotes extreme, almost unbearable pain. Anguish can also be used to refer to intense mental distress, but that does not necessarily imply confusion.

Using anguish instead of pain makes the suffering more intense and adds a more intense tone to the whole passage as well.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Both eventually come to an end or die.

Explanation:

"The Coming Of  Night" is a poem written by Linda Pastan. The poem is about how the speaker accepts the inevitability  of death. The them of the poem is death.

A simile is a rhetoric device thaat is used to compare two unlike things or objects or ideas.

<u>In the poem, Pastan has compared the ambition with the 'pilot light.' It is important to know that the 'pilot light' is an important instrument to run an appliance. So, by comparing life's ambition with 'pilot light', the poet is making a point that just like the pilot light is vital to run appliances, ambitions are important to run a life. Which means that the poet is conveying a message that a life without an ambition is likely to end just as a 'faulty pilot light' will come to an end</u>.  

This comparison helps in the contribution to the central idea oof how life slowly ends without an ambition, just like a faulty pilot light.

Irina-Kira [14]

Rukmani depicts her garden in rich detail in Nectar in a Sieve because it is essential to her. This demonstrates her caring, hardworking, and patient personality, as it requires these traits to care for a garden. When she learns what it takes to be a farmer's wife, she starts her own vegetable garden and works hard to maintain it. Readers might deduce from this that Rukmani adores the land and takes strength from its beauty.

<h3>What is the Theme of Nectar in a Sieve?</h3>

The most essential component of life, according to Nectar in a Sieve, is familial love and familial sacrifice.

While this viewpoint is lovely and encouraging, it is also heartbreaking since Rukmani's great love for her family coexists with her incapacity to protect and care for them.

<h3>Who is the author of Nectar in A sieve?</h3>

In a group discussion, which of these is the best example of challenging the credibility of a source?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

A. Given that the author reveres Valmiki as a prophet, I don't think we can count on his objectivity.

Note that reveres pretty much means "worship", and if the author reveres Valmiki, it means that the author's opinion is positive, and is not objective.

Objective means giving information without including one own's opinions or "feelings", and only giving the facts.
