Answer:
D). It highlights the contrast between the Dursley’s excitement for the dinner and Harry’s loneliness.
Explanation:
Repetition is elucidated as one of the most commonly employed literary devices in which the author <u>repeats a word or phrase in order to emphasize or highlight a specific idea</u>. While 'tone' is described as the <u>author's approach or attitude towards a specific subject matter</u> reflected through the diction and language adopted by the author to convey it.
As per the question, Harry's constant repetition of the phrase 'I’ll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I’m not there' affects the tone of the given passage by highlighting the disparity between the excitement of Dursley and the loneliness of Harry. It <u>shifts the tone from cheerful to serious and emphasizes Harry's isolation due to his family's fear over his special powers</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
C. Every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy
Explanation:
In english, we say that an element is supernatural when it cannot be explicable by scientific laws and therefore cannot be proven as real. Examples of supernatural things are: miracles, ghosts, angels, demons, ufos, superstitions.
Looking at the options we have, option C mentions that every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy. We can see that this is an example of superstition since something terrible is related to the fact that the bell rings or not. Thus, this is an example of a supernatural element.
Options A and D don't have supernatural elements (a haunted house is made by people so it's not supernatural). Option B has the luck element but it's just a thought the Dr has and not really a supernatural element.
