The correct answer is A. Figurative language
Parallel structure and free verse are related to form and not content, so they don't participate in conveying meaning. Denotative language is the opposite of what they want since they want connotative language. That's why they use figurative language like metaphors or similar things to create a multiplicity of meanings.
Answer: A. That Tessie is always late for everything.
Explanation:
In the short story, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, a small town of 300 is conducting their lottery. Although the purpose of the lottery was never explicitly stated, it appears to be to choose person to sacrifice for the good of the town.
Somewhere in the book we are introduced to Tessie Hutchinson who arrives late for the lottery. An inference that can be made from the way people reacted to her being late was that she was always late for everything.
Answer:
1. action
2. failure
3. permission
4. loss
5. thought/thinking
Explanation:
Nominalization or nouning is the transformation of verbs into nouns. Most times, such a transformation will require some alteration or other to be made, mostly through the use of suffixes, which changes the ending of the original word. However, there are nominalizations that require no change at all, the difference between verb and noun being revealed through context.
Some common suffixes for nominalization are -ation, -ance, and -ment.
Having that in mind, let's change the verbs given in the question into nouns:
1. to act - action
2. to fail - failure
3. to permit - permission
4. to lose - loss
5. to think - thought/thinking
FDR's speech was important historically because it prepared the United States for a shift in foreign policy from non-intervention (staying out of conflicts/affairs of other countries), and described the war happening in Europe as a threat the United States. The speech was powerful because it was centered around the American ideal of freedom and natural-born rights, and the responsibility of Americans to stay true to their values on the world stage.
The audio helps to contextualize the time in which the speech was written, due to both the sound quality (which is low) and the cadence and way of speaking that FDR has. FDR uses a specific delivery, including pauses for effect and changes in tone, to add to the rhetorical effect of his speech. Reading the speech does not communicate these things, although it allows the reader to reread certain parts and reflect more easily on the words (depending on how this person prefers to process information).
