The problem began simply enough. In the 1950s, plans to
build a canal were abandoned due to political red tape. The
half-finished canal then became a dumping ground for
garbage. Chemical waste was deposited there and buried.
Two decades later, heavy rains and shifting soil caused
some of the chemical containers to leak. The chemicals
leached into the soil and contaminated the water supply.
Within months, the area had to be evacuated.
What is one way the author uses a chronological structure to support his
purpose?
A. By tracing the contamination problem over time
B. By detailing the order of events during the evacuation
C. By explaining that heavy rains lead to chemical leaks
ОО
D. By comparing water pollution to land pollution

Answers

Answer 1
The answer would be A. By tracing the contamination problem overtime
Answer 2

The one way through which author uses a chronological structure to support his purpose is by tracing the contamination problem over time. Therefore, the correct option is option A.

Who is author?

Author, someone who is the creator of a literary work such as a book, article, poetry, drama, or other type of literary work that is meant to be published. An author is typically distinguished from those who compile, arrange, or modify literary content.

But on occasion, a person who assembles information in a way that the result can be considered a work that is largely original is given the title of author. The Latin word auctor, which means "authorizer, responsible actor, originator, or maker," is the root of the word. The one way through which author uses a chronological structure to support his purpose is by tracing the contamination problem over time.

Therefore, the correct option is option A.

Read this question: Twisting her braid between her fingers, Marcie jumped whenever anyone entered the room. What method of characterization does the sentence use to describe the character?

Answers

Answer:

The method that the sentence uses is Action.

Explanation:

The author uses indirect characterization, which in this case is an action to describe Marcie's character. "Twisting her braid between her fingers, Marcie jumped whenever anyone entered the room" shows us that she is anxious or she gets happy when she sees people. The author does not directly tell us how the character is. He gives us indirect information that we have to interpret to build the representation of the character in our minds.

Read the excerpt from Twelve Years a Slave Chapter 9:
"Oh! how heavily the welght of slavery pressed upon me then. I must toll day after day, endure abuse and
taunts and scoffs, sleep on the hard ground, live on the coarsest fare, and not only this, but live the slave of a
blood-seeking wretch, of whom I must stand henceforth in continued fear and dread. Why had I not dled in
my young years-before God had given me children to love and live for? What unhappiness and suffering and
sorrow it would have prevented. I sighed for liberty; but the bondman's chain was round me, and could not be
shaken off. I could only gaze wistfully towards the North, and think of the thousands of miles that stretched
between me and the soil of freedom, over which a black freeman may not pass."
Examine the bolded portions of the passage that describe the emotions created in Northup as a result of this conflict of
man versus soclety (Northup versus slavery). From these words and phrases, can you conclude how slavery makes
Northup feel?

Answers

Answer:

Northup feels unhappy, melancholy, trapped, hopeless and alone.

Explanation:

"Twelve Years a Slave" is a memoir in which author Solomon Northup recounts his experiences after being kidnapped and sold as a slave after living as a free black man who raised a family.

Although you didn't boldly mark any of the sentences presented in the excerpt shown in the question above, we can see that the excerpt is extremely sentimental, as it addresses the sadness and hopelessness that Northup felt when he was kidnapped and sold. The excerpt shows that Northup is extremely unhappy, melancholy and desperate. He goes so far as to wish he had died when he was younger to avoid feeling that sadness again. That's because in addition to losing his freedom, Northup was robbed and taken away from his family that he loved dearly.

Answers

Answer is A. I think

Answer:

B.

––––––>

Tia shopped at the mall for a pair of shoes.

Explanation:

In option B the arrow is pointing in the correct direction. This is because the sentence is an active one that matches with the arrow pointing to the right. An active sentence is the one in which the voice is active, meaning that the verb written tell us that the subject is doing the action. In this case we can see that Tia (subject) shopped at the mall for a pair of shoes (action) and no the other way around. That is why the arrow should be in the right direction.

B. She shopped at the mall for a pair of shoes
