c.Dexter looked closely at Devlin, thinking wildly that there must be a reason for this, some insensitivity in the man or some private malice.

d.He was one of those young thousands who greeted the war with a certain amount of relief, welcoming the liberation from webs of tangled emotion.

Answer: "a.He loved her, and he would love her until the day he was too old for loving—but he could not have her. So he tasted the deep pain that is reserved only for the strong, just as he had tasted for a little while the deep happiness." is the best option, since in this passage it is clear that although he was once fond of love, he has been hurt too many times to feel it take hold of him in the same way.

Answers

The hook is usually the sentence which occurs toward the beginning of the paragraph. It's main objective is to catch the readers attention and make them want to continue reading. (It's kind of like the thumbnail of a Youtube video, it catches the viewers attention.) Anyway, now that we have reviewed what a hook is, let's use the process of elimination to find our answer. A. cannot be the answer. It is a part of the beginning of the passage. It also is a fact, and is not written in a way that can attract a reader's attention and make them want to continue reading. The same goes for B. This is simply just not something that would attract a reader's attention. C is also not the answer. Once again, this statement fails to attract the reader's attention. So, this leaves us with the correct answer, D. Not only is this the first sentence in the paragraph, it also attracts the reader's attention and makes them want to read the rest of the passage.

Gloria is hard to get to know. Whenever she is put in a situation that might reveal her true personality, she withdraws into a shell, where she feels safe and hidden.Which figure of speech does the author use in the passage?

A. epic simile

B. implied metaphor

C. imagery

D. personification

Answers

Hey there!

Your answer would be B, implied metaphor.

Here, we see four answer choices. An epic simile is a simile in the same form except many lines in length. An implied metaphor is not one that is explicitly stated, but is there. Imagery is using word choice to describe something which forms an image in the reader's head. Personification is using human actions to describe something which is not human.

We can tell this is an implied metaphor by this: "Whenever she is put in a situation that might reveal her true personality, she withdraws into a shell, where she feels safe and hidden." The most important part here is "she withdraws into a shell". There is no actual shell, of course, however, this is just making a comparison with her drawing into herself. The comparison is not explicitly stated, but it is there.

Hope this helps!
