A writer should impress a reader with his vocabulary.<br> a. True<br> b. False
kogti [31]
<span>This is false. As a matter of fact, complex vocabulary might bore and dissuade even the most knowledgable of people, let alone those casual readers who just want to enjoy their free time. It's not the writer's job to brag about his vocabulary but rather to convey messages and provide some meaning behind what he or she may be saying.</span>

Which statement is true? The elegy in ancient Greece included choral songs that accompanied Greek dramas. The ode and the elegy
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

An ode and an elegy may have different poetic structures.

Explanation:

Ode and elegies are both forms of lyric poetry that emerged in Ancient Greece, however, they differ in some aspects. Firstly, odes are mainly to praise or recognize the goals achieved by someone or some event, on the other hand, elegies are used to recognize the life of someone who died or to express the mourning for the death of someone. Additionally, both forms of lyrical poetry or stanza differ on their structures, while odes are divided into three major parts the strophe, the antistrophe and the epode, that consisted on different sections with different verse structures or irregular stanzas. On the other hand, the elegy structure consisted on hexameter verses that are verse composed by six feet (combination of two, three or four syllables), followed by pentameter verses, which are verses with ten feet. Thus,  the poetic structure of the ode and elegy are different as odes have irregular structures but elegies follow a combination of hexameter and pentameter verses.

8_murik_8 [283]

The answer is C: A teacher assigns a 10 page research project and says, "this might take a little time".

An understatement is a statement that underplays the significance, value, size, relevance or importance of something and it makes it seem considerable less than what it actually is. In this example, the teacher makes it seem like writing a 10 page essay will take just “a little time”, when in fact, any student knows that a 10 page essay in a considerable enterprise that will take a lot more than just a little time.
