Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: D. (Rumors) Whispers of doubt filled the empty halls like the reek of rotten eggs.

Explanation: when writing, one of the best ways to explain a concept, an idea or a perspective is to use figurative language, because in this way the reader creates a mental image of the idea and it is easier to understand. From the given sentences the one that most effectively translates the abstract concept is the one corresponding to "rumors" because it compares the rumors with the reek of rotten eggs, creating a mental image.

Answer 2
Answer: I'm not completely sure, but I think d because it really helps to show that rumors aren't good with the use of "like the reek of rotten eggs." It really paints a picture of what it means.

Read the passage from A Raisin in the Sun.LINDNER: Yes—that's the way we feel out in Clybourne Park. And that's why I was elected to come here this afternoon and talk to you people. Friendly like, you know, the way people should talk to each other and see if we couldn't find some way to work this thing out. As I say, the whole business is a matter of caring about the other fellow. Anybody can see that you are a nice family of folks, hard-working and honest I'm sure. (BENEATHA frowns slightly, quizzically, her head tilted regarding him.) Today everybody knows what it means to be on the outside of something. And of course, there is always somebody who is out to take advantage of people who don't always understand.WALTER: What do you mean?LINDNER: Well—you see our community is made up of people who've worked hard as the dickens for years to build up that little community. They're not rich and fancy people; just hard-working, honest people who don't really have much but those little homes and a dream of the kind of community they want to raise their children in. Now, I don't say we are perfect and there is a lot wrong in some of the things they want. But you've got to admit that a man, right or wrong, has the right to want to have the neighborhood he lives in a certain kind of way. And at the moment the overwhelming majority of our people out there feel that people get along better, take more of a common interest in the life of the community, when they share a common background. I want you to believe me when I tell you that race prejudice simply doesn't enter into it. It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities.BENEATHA (with a grand and bitter gesture): This, friends, is the Welcoming Committee!WALTER (dumfounded, looking at LINDNER): Is this what you came marching all the way over here to tell us? . . . .RUTH: Lord have mercy, ain't this the living gall!How does the playwright use dialogue to develop the message in this passage? a. Beneatha’s use of sarcasm shows how people can unintentionally hurt those they care about. b. Lindner's good manners and polite words show that segregation can be subtle and indirect. c. The rapid pace of Beneatha, Walter, and Ruth's dialogue shows that direct confrontation is the best way to resolve differences. d. Walter's questions and Ruth's exclamation develop the message that communication breakdowns are often the fault of both parties.

Answers

Answer:

b. Lindner's good manners and polite words show that segregation can be subtle and indirect.

Explanation:

This is the best way to describe the way in which the playwright uses dialogue to develop the message in this passage. In this passage, we learn that Lindner tells the family that he does not believe they should live in Clybourne Park. He is being racist. However, he conveys this meaning through polite words and good manners. This shows that segregation can sometimes be subtle and indirect.

Last night, Jason introduced me to a friend of his. Whose hair was all the way down to the back of his knees in a single dreadlock. is this sentence correct

Answers

Incorrect sentence.

Corrected sentence: Last night, Jason introduced me to a friend of his, whose hair went all the way down to the back of his knees in a single dreadlock.

The period before the word "whose" in the original creates a fragment "Whose hair was all the way down to..." This is a phrase which is describing "a friend of his" and should be included in the same sentence. So you simply separate it by a period.
