The correct answer here is C.
Active listening is surprisingly not something many do, even though it is an important part in communication. While listening we often get distracted and think what are we going to say next so we are not always actively listening. This requires a lot of empathy, patience and practice but it is worth as we show that we value the speaker and that their thoughts are important to us.
Answer:
D. Mr. White accepting the paw and the resulting tragedy
Explanation:
The word "foreshadow" is an intransitive verb that means to represent something or signify something that will happen, beforehand.
From the passage, the sergeant-major talks about a paw that had a spell cast on it by an old fakir who granted three wishes for three separate people who found it and anyone that tried to interfere with fate would have sorrow to pay for it.
The sergeant-major explained that he got the paw after the first man that found the paw had his third wish to be death. So, the soldier accepted the paw and the resulting tragedy, which was the death of the first finder of the paw.
Answer:
are still loaded with meaning.
Explanation:
Hemingway's simple sentences are very meaningful. They clearly show the characters' opinions on a major theme of war. Passini tries to prove that war is the worst thing that can happen to people. The narrator does not agree because to him, defeat is worse as it means losing 'your home, your family'.
Although the characters express their ideas in short sentences, they convey their message in a powerful way and sound convincing to the reader because both Passini and the narrator make convincing arguments. Indeed, Hemingway's seemingly simple prose is loaded with meaning.
To a certain extent, parallelism helps to reinforce the message of these short sentences:
"They come after you. They take your home. They take your sisters." That's parallelism at its best.
Responding to this, Passini also uses repetition of words and structures: "Let everybody defend his home. Let them keep their sisters in the house.”
All these examples show how 'little' words can make a big difference.
