In lines 1-2, the speaker describes "like" as a "semi-demi goddess" primarily to emphasize the:

- Almost religious devotion people have to collecting "likes" on social media.

  • This question refers to the poem "Sestina: Like" by A. E. Stallings in which the author criticizes the excessive use of the word "like".

  • The first two lines of the poem are the following:

<em>"Now we're all 'friends,' there is no love but </em><em>Like</em><em>,</em>

<em>A </em><em>semi</em><em>-</em><em>demi goddess</em><em>, something like"</em>

  • The author's purpose is to show how devoted people are to getting "likes" on social media.

  • "Like" is practically a substitute for love. We feel loved when people like our posts.

  • It is such an intense need of ours that it is comparable to a religious devotion, which is why the author compares "like" to a "semi-demi goddess."

The king cobra instantly turned its head toward me and flared its hood. Was it about to strike? The interesting thing about the
Finger [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

This passage is a change in pacing because after the text says "The king cobra instantly turned its head toward me and flared its hood. Was it about to strike?" it suddenly change the continuity of the action and refers to some characteristics of the cobra.

It could have been "foreshadowing" if the text would have continued the original narrative of the preparation for the attack, until describing the attack or not.

However, the text changed in pacing when it wrote: "The interesting thing about the king cobra is that it is the smartest snake on earth. It can see 330 feet, and its venom contains powerful neurotoxins. This new information about the cobra's characteristics changed the narrative.
