Select the correct text in the passage. Which part of this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" uses figurative language? The air was thick with the war feeling, like the electricity of a storm which has not yet burst. Editha sat looking out into the hot spring afternoon, with her lips parted, and panting with the intensity of the question whether she could let him go. She had decided that she could not let him stay, when she saw him at the end of the leafless avenue, making slowly up, toward the house. . . .

Answers

Answer 1

The part of this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" that uses figurative language is:  The air was thick with the war feeling, like the electricity of a storm which has not yet burst.

In this excerpt from the text, we see an extensive use of Metaphor in the sentence. Metaphor refers to a form of comparison where one thing is said to be another. Metaphor is not to be understood on the surface.

The reader ought to study the things being compared to identify the similarity between them.

In the text above, the description of the air as thick and the storm as possessing electricity, all demonstrate metaphor.

Explanation:

John has the most English books in his class.
---> No one

Answers

Answer:

No one has as many English books as John in his class.

Explanation:

Given that we are expected to rewrite the above sentence so that it still has the same meaning beginning with the given words, the correct rendering will be the answer above. The first sentence is started with the subject John, the action performed by him, and the people who receive the action.

In the revised sentence, the meaning is still retained because we still see John as the person who owns the largest number of English books in his class.

On Edg: Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."

Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My husband was with us as well, and he didn’t notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with.

(1 - 3). Choose the word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from that of the others:
1. A. instead B. head C. eat D. weather 2. A. replace. B. raise C. badly D. save
3. A. caused B. promised C. advertised D. raised​

Answers

Answer:

1). C). Eat

2). C). Badly

3). C). Advertised

Explanation:

Pronunciation plays a key role in determining the meaning of the words especially when they contain similar sounds. The words whose underlined portions pronounce differently are mentioned above.

In the first question, the words 'instead,' 'head,' and 'weather,' the morpheme '-ea' is pronounced similarly as 'e^.' While in 'eat,' it is pronounced as 'i:t.' Thus, 'eat' possesses a distinct pronunciation among the words provided in the group.

In the second, the sound of '-a' is similarly pronounced in 'save,' 'replace,' and 'raise' as 'ei.' However, in the word 'badly,' 'a' has a deeper sound as 'ae' and it is pronounced in a different manner. Hence option C is the correct answer.

Similarly, in the last question, the words 'caused,' 'promised,' and 'raised' read the participle suffix '-ed' in the same manner as ';zed' while 'advertised' is pronounced as '-aized.' Hence, it has a varied sound and thus, option C is correct again.

W.E.B. DuBois starts his chapter opposing Booker T. Washington with this sentence:

In failing thus to state plainly and unequivocally the legitimate demands of their people, even at the cost of opposing an honored leader, the thinking classes of American Negroes would shirk a heavy responsibility, -- a responsibility to themselves, a responsibility to the struggling masses, a responsibility to the darker races of men whose future depends so largely on this American experiment, but especially a responsibility to this nation, -- this common Fatherland.

If DuBois considers himself part of the “thinking classes of American Negroes,” what does this sentence give him permission to do?

Answers

Answer:

This phrase allows DuBois to be passive about how black people are being treated and represented by Booker T. Washington.

Explanation:

DuBois does not agree with Booker T. Washington's position on how blacks should position themselves to have their rights guaranteed.

Dubois was an academic intellectual and believed that blacks should have a quality education and fight for political representation and rights. Meanwhile, Booker T. Washington believed that blacks should strive for economic freedom and not confront whites or claim anything.

Dubois felt that Booker T. Washington's position demeaned blacks and placed them in a weaker position relative to whites. However, he stressed that if people wanted to listen to Booker T. Washington, the “thinking classes of black Americans,” like him, would take a passive stance in the struggle for rights, no matter what.

Lensey Namioka's "The All-American Slurp" is a story. A migrant family's uncomfortable experiences in a foreign state are recounted. As just a consequence, "Lakeview" was an expensive chain restaurant. Aside from Chinese restaurants, it was rare for all the customers to make at such establishments in America.

Parallelism is a stylistic device that is based on the repetition of words and sentences in a text. According to the above, in the first lines of President John F. Kennedy's inaugural speech, the resource of parallelism is used because the expression "as well as" is repeated to emphasize the idea of renewal and a new beginning that it meant this government. "symbolizing an end as well as a beginning - signifying renewal as well as change". So the correct answer is C
