Read this excerpt from “A Horseman in the Sky” by Ambrose Bierce. Which type of point of view does the narrative portray?

An officer of the Federal force, who in a spirit of adventure or in quest of knowledge had left the hidden bivouac in the valley, and with aimless feet had made his way to the lower edge of a small open space near the foot of the cliff, was considering what he had to gain by pushing his exploration further. At a distance of a quarter-mile before him, but apparently at a stone's throw, rose from its fringe of pines the gigantic face of rock, towering to so great a height above him that it made him giddy to look up to where its edge cut a sharp, rugged line against the sky. It presented a clean, vertical profile against a background of blue sky to a point half the way down, and of distant hills, hardly less blue, thence to the tops of the trees at its base. Lifting his eyes to the dizzy altitude of its summit the officer saw an astonishing sight—a man on horseback riding down into the valley through the air!

A.

B.
third-person objective
C.
second-person
D.
third-person omniscient

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correction is D,third-person omniscient

Explanation:

The third-person omniscient point of view is a style of story telling where the writer used the inner thoughts and feelings in its narration in order to develop an insightful and comprehensive story which easily drives home the main motive behind the story

It is obvious that the thoughts and feelings of the characters are not known to one another like they are known to the narrator,hence the narrator is able to synchronize these inner feelings and thoughts so that the readers can feel the happenings as if they are happening in real life

Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country."
Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and the electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right. And slow-growing domestic traumas like economic unrest and increasing crime seemed more likely to emphasize division than community. Today the citizens of the United States have come together once more because of armed conflict and enemy attack.

It is impossible to read a speech as one reads a work of literature. True or false

Answers

Both... But that depends.

True. It is generally considered impossible to read a speech as one reads a work of literature. This is because speeches are designed to be delivered orally to a live audience, whereas literature is designed to be read silently and interpreted by the reader.

What are Speeches?

Speeches are typically written with the intention of being spoken aloud and heard by an audience, and as such, they often contain rhetorical devices, such as repetition, parallelism, and alliteration, which are used to emphasize key points and engage the audience. The delivery of the speech also plays an important role in how it is received by the audience, as factors such as tone of voice, pacing, and body language can all affect how the message is conveyed.

On the other hand, literature is designed to be read silently and interpreted by the reader. It typically contains complex themes, characters, and plots, which are explored in depth through the use of language, symbolism, and narrative techniques. Unlike a speech, which is designed to be delivered in a specific context and to a specific audience, literature is generally intended to be enjoyed and appreciated by a wide range of readers.

Therefore, while there may be some overlap between the techniques used in speeches and literature, the two are fundamentally different forms of communication and cannot be read or interpreted in the same way.

Tells you that your nose is more important than your tongue C. Explains why we have noses D. Emphasizes that smell plays an important role in taste

Answers

Answer: D. Emphasizes that smell plays an important role in taste

Explanation: On page 23 where Tarshis writes, "It's because your tongue is pretty much lost without your nose." pretty much emphasizes the role that smell plays in taste. The senses of taste and smell are closely linked and as such, the flavors in food can be tasted because of a combination of the ability to smell and taste. Foods tend to taste bland with little or no flavor when the ability to smell is lost which is the direct result of the complex interplay between aroma and taste that helps the brain in interpreting stimuli.

Answers

Answer:

the biography of Severn Cullis -Suzuki is given below you can take main points from here hope it helps you

Explanation:

geneticist and environmental activist David Suzuki,[2] is a third-generation Japanese Canadian.[3] While attending Lord Tennyson Elementary School in French Immersion, at age 9, she founded the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a group of children dedicated to learning and teaching other youngsters about environmental issues.[4] In 1992, at age 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with members of ECO to attend the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Along with group members Michelle Quigg, Vanessa Suttie, and Morgan Geisler, Cullis-Suzuki presented environmental issues from a youth perspective at the summit, where she was applauded for a speech to the delegates.[5][6] The video has since become a viral hit, popularly known as "The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes".[7] In her 1992 speech, she said: “I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the hole in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know what chemicals are in it."[8]

In 1993, she was honored in the United Nations Environment Programme's Global 500 Roll of Honour.[9] In 1993, Doubleday published her book Tell the World, a 32-page book of environmental steps for families.

Cullis-Suzuki graduated from Yale University in 2002 with a B.S. in ecology and evolutionary biology.[4] After Yale, Cullis-Suzuki spent two years traveling. Cullis-Suzuki co-hosted Suzuki's Nature Quest, a children's television series that aired on Discovery Kids in 2002.

In early 2002, she helped launch an Internet-based think tank called The Skyfish Project.[10][3] As a member of Kofi Annan's Special Advisory Panel, she and members of the Skyfish Project brought their first project, a pledge called the "Recognition of Responsibility", to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in August 2002.[4] The Skyfish Project disbanded in 2004 as Cullis-Suzuki turned her focus back to school. She enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Victoria to study ethnobotany under Nancy Turner, finishing in 2007.[10]

Severn is married and lives with her husband and two sons in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia.

Severn Cullis-Suzuki is the main character in the documentary film Severn, the Voice of Our Children, directed by Jean-Paul Jaud and released theatrically in France on November 10, 2010.

When Jesus first started his ministry, he called a Jewish fisherman named Peter to be one of his disciples. Jesus gave him the name Cephas, which is derived from the Aramaic name Kepa, which means "Rock"; Peter is derived from Petros, the Greek term for Kepa.
