Read the paragraph.
Anna [14]

Answer:

The answer is third-person limited.

Explanation:

Let's discuss the terms first.

1. <em>Third-person omniscient </em>occurs when the narrator includes all the voices of all the characters in a story. That is, a story is told from different points of view. In this paragraph, we only know about Ben, what he does, sees, his boss.

2. <em>First person and third person</em>. The narrator uses the third person to talk about Ben but he neves uses the first person, i.e. <em>I</em> or <em>we</em>.

3. <em>First person</em>. The story is narrated by the character himself/herself. We know everything from his point of view. The use of "I" and "we" will appear this narrative.

4. Third person limited. This is the correct answer. The narrator presents one character and closely follows him: what he does, what he says, his feelings and thoughts. The characters are described using pronouns (he,she, they,etc). In this paragraph, the narrator includes Ben. He is described as being on a bench on his lunch break, watching the birds eat. He doesn't like being late. He is thinking about why his boss is never around. Every action revolves around Ben and you can find the proun "he" to describe him.

Read the following excerpt from Henry David Thoreaus resistance to civil government all machines have their friction witch state
MrRa [10]

Answer:

D. He uses metaphor to portray the government as something driven by greed and evil.

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

Looking at the excerpt, we see that Thoreau actually uses metaphor. He likens the government as a machine. As all machines have their friction, there is need for some good in order to counterbalance the evil. The author sees that when the friction comes is likened to when oppression and robbery are set in and organized.

Metaphor is actually a figure speech that is used to compare two things. It is done without the use of "as" and "like".

*picture* provide a summary of this excerpt. Based on this passage, how does Thoreau feel about the people who serve the state?
sergij07 [2.7K]
The Thoreau feel that the people who serve the state have the same worth as dogs or horses and that they should receive no more respect then a man of straw or a lump of dirt, so these people feel that working for the state rarely make any moral distinctions,and it also says in the paragraph that they are likely to serve the devil. So by this article we can clearly see that they are apposed to any form of serving the state.

I hope this helped :)

In what way are the scientific revolution and the Industrial Revolution
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A. Discoveries during the scientific revolution allowed for the

Industrial Revolution to occur.

Explanation:

The early discoveries of the Scientific revolution were primarily about the solar system and the nature of matter. But these led to more scientific inquiry about forces (Descartes, Newton, Kepler) and development of formulae used to calculate and predict outcomes.

These came to be applied by the inventors at the start of the industrial revolution, especially in the development of the steam engine (Newcomen, Watt) which allowed for increased production of goods and faster travel over greater distances.
