English
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The example of personification is in the sentence: He struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the <u>wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face</u> and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle.

Explanation:  The ability to <u>slap</u> someone in the face is a human characteristic.

Another possible example:

There was a chance that his cries could be heard by someone aboard the yacht, but that <u>chance was slender and grew more slender </u>as the yacht raced on.

Slender is an adjective usually used to describe a person's waist or arms. The word is also used to describe other things such as "a slender majority of voters" or "a slender chance of winning"

Select the correctly formatted parenthetical cite. “Now many people use low-calorie sugar substitutes to control their weight” (
QveST [7]

Answer: D) “Now many people use low-calorie sugar substitutes to control their weight” (Kowalsky 19).

Explanation: when quoting a source in a paper or an essay, we need to cite that source in the correct way. According to MLA the format to write a parenthetical cite is to write the last name of the author of the source (book, article, etc.) followed by the number of the page from which we got the quote, this two elements must be in parentheses, and if it is the end of a sentence or a paragraph, the period must be after the last parentheses, also the cite isn't part of the quotation, so it must not be included in the quotation marks. The option that follows this format correctly is “Now many people use low-calorie sugar substitutes to control their weight” (Kowalsky 19).
