Answer:

A: It does not convey to power and immensity of the idea.

Explanation:

The given question refers to the essay <em>Love's Vocabulary</em> by Diane Ackerman.

<em>How can love’s spaciousness be conveyed in the narrow confines of one syllable? </em>-<em> </em>asks the author. She discusses the origin of the word, and how people use it: <em>We use the word love in such a sloppy way that it can mean almost nothing or absolutely everything.</em>

The problem is not that the word <em>love </em>consists of only one syllable, but that such a powerful, diverse feeling is difficult to describe. One word is not enough to convey its power, and the way people use it is not appropriate.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

Read the sentence below about the Chicago fire of 1871. Many people tried very hard to save the building of the Chicago Tribune.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The revision which is the best example of adding concrete detail is:

Claire Innes was separated from the people around her during the fire and she later found them near the same place they were separated.

The other options do not apply because the original sentence does not talk about Claire Innes' parents or family

Claire Innes became separated from her parents as the flames spread through the city, and she later found them.

In the panic, Claire Innes was separated from her family as they fled, and she was reunited with her father after the fire was extinguished.

In the panic, Claire Innes became separated from her brothers and sisters during the fire and she later found them after the fire was put out.

To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The poet of these lines, Edna St. Vincent Millay, imagines a speaker who is sick of spring and everything that goes along with the season changing. Millay employs word choice such as "stickily" in order to make the beauty of new leaves growing on the trees seem grotesque. She also names the leaves as "little" further diminishing the importance of the season changing. The speaker calls out directly to April in the first line ("To what purpose, April, do you return again?"). This line can be read as threatening or condecensing in light of the word choice in the poem as the speaker is angry at April's return. The speaker concluses that "I know what I know," marking themselves as more knowledgable about the world than spring and April.
