Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The answer is A. “April/Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.”

Explanation:

Personification in poetry means to "humanize" not human things. For instance, the answer here is A, because April is a "thing" a month, it doesn't come like an idiot (a person is an idiot) it doesn't babble (a person-baby babbles) and it doesn't strew (people strew).

The rest of the options are simply being described, if you see, they're not being "humanized" in any way.

Answer 2
Answer: The correct answer is a. Personification means giving an inanimate object, human characteristics. April is described as babbling and strewing flowers. Similar to a human, but is not actually a person.

Answers

Answer:

Which tone should a reader use to read the narration before the newspaper headlines? --> Casual

Which tone should a reader use to read the newspaper headlines? --> Formal

Which tone should a reader use to read the narration after the newspaper headlines? --> Disappointed

Explanation:

Before reading the headlines, the author is in a casual, relaxed moment. There are no worries crossing her mind yet, no reason to be tense or sad. She then proceeds to reading the headlines, which are written in a formal tone. Headlines have a straightforward and serious aura. Imagine the voice of a news anchor reading them, and you'll be able to hear their formality. Upon reading them, the narrator is disappointed. She is now sad to know there are people fighting against integrating Central High.

Answer: He approached the temple. As he went forward the light retired, and, when he put his feet within the apartment, utterly vanished. The suddenness of this transition increased the darkness that succeeded in a tenfold degree. Fear and wonder rendered him powerless.

Identify the correct sentence.a. ​"I'll meet you at the​ library," mickey said.
b. ​"I'll meet you at the​ library," Mickey said.
c. ​"I'll meet you at the​ Library," mickey said.
d. ​"I'll meet you at the​ Library," Mickey said.

Answers

The correct sentence is B. "I'll meet you at the​ library," Mickey said.

Mickey is a name and as such should always be capitalized. Since library in this sentence is a common noun, rather than a proper noun, it should be left lowercase. If it was a proper noun, such as the New York Public Library, then it would be appropriate to capitalize it.

The correct sentence is B : "I'll meet you at the library,"Mickey said
