n the quotation, "Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides" by Rita Mae Brown, what does the word "exerts" mean? Puts forth Takes away Hides Shines

Answers

'Exert' means to apply force on influence over something else, this can be in a negative or positive way. In this quotation, it means that language, if used correctly, has the ability to express a 'hidden power'. It's also worth mentioning that the simile is relevant as the moon has an influence on the level of tides on Earth.


The word ''exert'' means to apply or exercise influence over something else, either positively or negatively.

The word 'exert' as used in the quotation has to do with the use of language, and essentially how it is expressed to give a particular influence.

Further Explanation

The author says, languages exert hidden power, It means that Language always has within its grasp the capacity to express a hidden power if it is properly used, considering the figurative expression used alongside it.

The figurative expression is a simile. With the effusion of ''like'', Rita Mae shows a comparison between how the moon takes on the tides and how languages exert hidden power; thereby leaving the reader to feel and deduce the degree at which the languages exert hidden power.

The moon causes low and high tides. This is done through its gravitational pull. The pull then generates what is known as the tidal force. In turn, the force makes the earth—all its water—to swell on both sides nearest and farthest to the moon. It is these swells of water that are called high tides. That is how the moon exerts its pull.

From the exposition on how the moon exerts its hidden pull, one understands the degree for which languages exert a hidden power if properly used; one understands how and what Rita Mae Brown means by ''exert''.

Which of the following is an example of indirect characterization?  A. Joe was a lazy, good-for-nothing farmer without a penny to his name. 
B. Joe wouldn’t life a finger to help his neighbor if you paid him. 
C. Joe was a poor, sorry excuse for a farmer. 
D. Joe pulled the brim of his hat low over his eyes as he settled back against the tree. He looked out over his fields. “That plowing can wait a day or two,” he thought, and closed his eyes for a midday nap.

Answers

The correct answer is D. Joe pulled the brim of his hat low over his eyes as he settled back against the tree. He looked out over his fields. “That plowing can wait a day or two,” he thought and closed his eyes for a midday nap.

Explanation:

In literature, the characterization is the way the author of a text reveals the personality and traits of characters. Additionally, this can be classified into direct characterization if the author uses descriptions or indirect characterization if instead of describing directly the personality and traits of a character the author presents the actions and words of the character and this suggests the personality of a character. Considering this, the one that is an example of indirect characterization is option D, because this presents actions and words of Joe that suggest he does not like to work or is lazy and it is the only option that does not directly describe his personality and therefore an example of indirect characterization.
I think and B and D is. But if can choose only one D would be better
