Incomplete question. Assumed you are referring to story themes examples that talk about death.
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are many such examples, consider a few of them:
- <em>The land where no man wants to feely go.</em>
- <em>Death!!! The last enemy.</em>
- <em>The last destination.</em>
The purpose of making the second paragraph a single sentence is one of timing. It sets a quick pace with no interruptions. This is intended to mirror the actual experience of walking into the warehouse and looking at the slaves being sold. In this way, the author wants you to imagine the situation the way he is describing it.
The author uses the lists "husbands, wives..." and "sold, leased..." for a couple different purposes. One is similar to the previous one: to create a certain pace. The author provides several quick and short options in a row, which mimics the quickness, confusion and overload of sights when walking into the warehouse. Although the behaviour of the seller is calm, the mind of the viewer is going quickly as it considers the implications of the scene. The second one is to highlight the reality of the slaves. By giving you all the options, he shows that no matter what your condition was, you were sold in the same way and with no concern for your individuality. Finally, the author also gives us these lists of characteristics as factual information that describes the condition of the slaves.
Answer:
Poisonous gases blistered soldiers' skin, eyes, and lungs.
Explanation:
Poisonous gases are extremely toxic. Many soldiers in WWI suffered injuries due to it, such as the ones listed above. We can also use the process of elimination to identify the answer.
❌<u>Choice 2</u>: Poisonous gases brought an end to trench warfare.
- This isn't the case. If anything, the gasses brought trench warfare more to the forefront. Also, trench warfare was used in WWII, so it's illogical to claim that it ended during WWI.
❌<u>Choice 3</u>: Poisonous gases melted weapons and other armaments.
- There is no evidence of this.
❌<u>Choice 4</u>: Poisonous gases caused explosions in the presence of gunpowder.
- Once again, no evidence supports this. Also, the main purpose of poisonous gas was not to cause explosions, regardless.
