<u>What would be the impact of replacing the word murdered in stanza 3 with the word drowned?</u>
D) The stanza would be more informative.
<u>Choice of words</u> can change a poem's tone and mood. A more <u>precise word </u>can give either more power to the stanza or more information. In the case of replacing <em>murdered</em> with <em>drowned</em>, the impact would be that the reader will be captivated and have more specific and significant details about the child's murder.
Answer: to describe the meaning of the shell strings.
In this excerpt, the author explains to us what the meaning of the shell strings is. He tells us that the shells symbolize the union of the nations. Option B is incorrect, as the passage does not discuss anything related to the consequences of disobeying one's tribe. Option C is similarly incorrect, as the passage does not mention any of the traditions of the Lords. Finally, the passage does not explain the history of each tribe.
You did not provide the possible excerpts, however, nonstandard English is any type of English language that is not standardized, meaning that is not grammatical or normative. Slang, jargon, incorrect grammar, dialects, all fall into the category of nonstandard English, so use that logic on your excerpts and find the correct one.
