Kimberly attended the wedding because she was invited.
Joseph was unhappy, and then the phone rang.
Mark was happy when he heard that the tickets were free.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is: Josephwas unhappy, and then the phone rang. This is an invalidcause-and-effect sequence because the 2 independent clauses don’t follow. Therewas no particular reason stated explaining why Joseph is not happy. The phoneringing has nothing to do with his emotional state. The rest of theoptions make sense, except for this.  
Answer 2
Answer: Joseph was unhappy, and then the phone rang.

This is an invalid cause-and-effect sequence because there is no clear indication that one event caused the other.

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.

Which reading style is suitable for reviewing material that you have previously read?

Answer: Skimming

If you have already read a text and you just want to review the material the reading style that is most suitable for that purpose is the skimming. When you skim a text you just look for the main ideas. It is a quick look at the text paying special attention to the first and last paragraphs.
