Answer: Tense

Foreshadowing refers to the author giving the reader a hint of what is to come later in the story. This literary device helps build expectations, but also excitement or worry.

In this case, the author gives us a hint that something is indeed wrong with them having to leave so hastily. She also says that they were not aware they were not going to see their house for another decade. These statements are an example of foreshadowing, and they give the poem a tense tone.

maks197457 [2]
Hi there!

In any kind of formal writing, the writer should be sure to use a formal language.

Using a formal language, not using slang or including swear words, is a crucial part of being a formal writer. A formal piece of writing also needs proper formatting, layouts, punctuation, grammar (and all that good stuff you learned in your early days).
Not only does this make your piece look more professional, it attracts the audience and gains trust from them.

Hope this helps!

This Student is arguing against mandatory homework in school. Which statement best serves as the writers claim.
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Homework is harmful and not the key to student success

Explanation:

The above option is actually the best that serves the writer's claim.

This is true because looking at the passage, we see that after the student argued about the problem of homework and how it is not really beneficial to the students, the writer then went further to conclude that homework is harmful and not the key to a student's success.

So, the selected sentence is the correct answer.
