The subject matter is in the poem's title. Their is a resentful mood although it's not plainly stated that the author resented her mother. Her mother's house represents the attitude of her mother; the walls stood at attention, the air knew to hold its breath, the polished floor defied heel marks... The personification is plain in these opening observations and, given the subject matter, it seems plain that these are reflections of the author's mother. It would seem that her mother is very commanding, superior, serious. Two lines I think are very telling:
"crinkled in discomfort
in my mother's house"
It's not been named a childhood home, rather she's in (imagine italics) Her Mother's House.
The correct answer is B: Investments.
A
They represent her resentment toward Dee for her education and success.
Answer: Make the shadow seem alive and personable
Explanation:
Regardless of personification attachment to statements, its meaning reflects. Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing or an idea or an animal is given human attributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the ability to act like human beings.
Example of this is, "I wondered lonely as cloud as a cloud". Here the cloud seem to be live and personable.
Punctuations are used in a sentence to organize and structure it properly. Moreover, it is used to create clarity and sense or to stress in a sentence. For example quotation marks " ", full stop (.), commas and so on.
Commas are frequently used punctuation in a sentence, hence they are used to create a short pause in a sentence.
In the above sentences, the sentence which is punctuated correctly is C. After they rested a few days, the aliens revived sufficiently to explore.
When starting with the dependent clause, the sentence is punctuated after the dependent clause. In the above sentence dependent clause is <em>“After they rested a few days”</em>, hence as compared to other sentences it is punctuated correctly.
