Answer: Robert´s
Explanation:
The most important thing before doing preliminary research is having a clear idea of what is the topic to be addressed. Ali´s strategy will probably get him information about writing techniques and rather general information about possible topics, which will be narrowed only by his impressions.
On the other hand, Robert going through his notes to narrow his topic will help him have a better idea of his research question and consequently of the best research strategy.
Answer:
ambiguity, mood, parallel structure, analogy, and maybe irony.
Explanation:
ambiguity-the quality of being open to more than one interpretation
Irony-the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
parallel structure-is a balance within one or more sentences of similar phrases or clauses that have the same grammatical structure.
sarcasm-the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
mood- the writer is trying to evoke in their readers—feelings like calm, anxiety, joy, or anger. The atmosphere
paradox-a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.
analogy-something that shows how two things are alike
A few days later, after school has begun for the year, Jem tells Scout that he found the pants mysteriously mended and hung neatly over the fence. When they come home from school that day, they find another present hidden in the knothole: a ball of gray twine. They leave it there for a few days, but no one takes it, so they claim it for their own.
Unsurprisingly, Scout is as unhappy in second grade as she was in first, but Jem promises her that school gets better the farther along one goes. Late that fall, another present appears in the knothole—two figures carved in soap to resemble Scout and Jem. The figures are followed in turn by chewing gum, a spelling bee medal, and an old pocket watch. The next day, Jem and Scout find that the knothole has been filled with cement. When Jem asks Mr. Radley (Nathan Radley, Boo’s brother) about the knothole the following day, Mr. Radley replies that he plugged the knothole because the tree is dying.
