Answer: D. Percy Bysshe Shelley

Mary Shelley's husband was none other than Percy Bysshe Shelley. They are both writers, though Mary wrote novels whereas Percy wrote poems. Naturally, the two supported each other in their literary efforts and found inspiration in their daily discussions. One conversation in particular between Lord Byron and Percy was about the subject of Galvanism, and Mary was drawn into it after overhearing them speak. Mary was intrigued by the idea of Galvanism (which is the process of using electric current to stimulate muscle movement), and she was inspired to write a short story. When she showed her work to Percy, he encouraged her to continue writing, expanding her short story into a full novel. The idea that someone could be caused to move simply by electricity gave her the idea to create a fictional monster, born of this technique. Today, we know this monster as "the creature," from Mary's novel <em>Frankenstein.</em><em>

Read the sentence.
kupik [55]
Since a predicate adjective is the first adjective found after a linking verb (in this case 'seemed'), the correct answer is 'docile'.

Using the examples of word connotation and figurative language from the speech, explain how Wiesel's language choices contribute
yarga [219]
It makes people think deeper using those words with a connotation that could create a picture of how it happened (maybe it reminds you of a movie). He clearly expresses his opinion and does not hold back on using those powerful words.
