Which adjective best describes the setting that the words in this sentence help to evoke?


a) cozy


b) dreamlike


c) dull


d) harsh


(Explain why this is the answer)

Answer:

d) harsh

Explanation:

hopefully this is good enough! :)

Answer:

d)harsh

Explanation:

the diction "biting wind" has negative connotations that the conditions are absurdly cold to the point of the wind being personified as being able to bite. the diction "seemed" references that fact that the conditions are harsh enough to mask the landmark the man walks from and lastly the diction " thickly gloved hand" also emphasises the harshness of the conditions as it refers to the thickness of the mans gloves as a way to express the amount of layer needed to protect the man and his hands

Floating Entertainment
During the mid-19th century, before television or movies existed, people enjoyed forms of entertainment that are no longer common today.
For example, people who lived in areas along the Mississippi River that were far from large cities depended on showboats. Showboats were boats
on which plays were performed
An actor named William Chapman was the first person to build a showboat. He called his showboat the "Floating Theater." Actors lived on
the boat and traveled along the river. The showboat stopped at small towns to perform plays.
Showboats were very popular but were discontinued when the Civil War began in 1861. They became popular again in the late 1870s.
However, by the early 1900s, many settlements along the Mississippi had grown into larger towns with dance halls and movie theaters. As a result,
Mississippi showboats began to lose their appeal. By 1910, people were heading to movie theaters big time.

Which revision of this section of dialogue best shows the narrator’s feelings? When I open the cover, the smell of fresh paper wafts up to greet me and the crisp, open page fills me with an exquisite sense of possibility. When I first open the notebook, I take care to crease the cover gently so that it’s nice and flexible, and then I can enjoy writing without fussing. I’m happy about the notebook because now I can get started on writing down the song that’s been floundering in my head all week. I’m glad to have a new notebook because I’m hoping it will provide inspiration to start working on that short story that’s due in English soon.
