Read the excerpt from Warriors Don't Cry.
The announcer said it was 7:55 as Mama squeezed into a parking space, and we settled ourselves quietly for a moment, trying to identify the buzzing noise that seemed as if it were all around us. It resembled the sound of crowds at my high school football games. But how could that be? The announcer said there was a crowd, but surely it couldn't be that big.
Which word from the excerpt creates mood?
a.settled
b.buzzing
c.resembled
d.games
Answer:
b. Buzzing
Explanation:
From the passage, narrator seems amazed at how packed the stadium was, as there was barely any parking space and how they heard a buzzing noise that was as if it was "all around us". The narrator also voiced out that the announcer said there was a crowd, but surely she did not expect it to be that big to create that buzzing sound.
Therefore, the word that creates mood from the excerpt is buzzing because it shows how lively and loud the place was.
I have looked this question up and found it is about a couple of paragraphs from the essay "Taming a Bicycle" by Mark Twain. Since the essay is long, I will not post it here. But it can easily be found online.
Answer:
The three descriptions which reflect the purpose of the essay are:
1. to entertains the reader with humorous ideas related to bike riding.
3. to inform the reader about the process of learning to ride a bike
5. to instruct the reader about how to get on a bike
Explanation:
In his humorous essay "Taming a Bicycle," Mark Twain describes the process of learning how to ride a bicycle in a most interesting way. At the same time he assures readers they will fall, he also assures them that they will keep on trying. After all, that is the beauty of riding a bike: it is dangerous, it can hurt you, and that is exactly why you want to do it.
Twain compares riding a bike to learning German, making the latter seem uninteresting and complicated. He also tells readers what is involved in riding (balance, propel, steer, etc.) and how to get on the bike, which he describes in a most funny way, as if it were a matter that demands great attention and a step-by-step explanation.
