Which approach best defines how writers of historical fiction try to appeal to readers?

Answers

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Which approach best defines how writers of historical fiction try to appeal to readers?         A.by providing an accurate, fact-based picture of history         B.by altering historical facts to rewrite the past         C.by blending historical facts with imaginary characters and plots         D.by introducing characteristics of modern cultures into historical eras"

Answer:

C.by blending historical facts with imaginary characters and plots  

Explanation:

Historical fiction writers try to attract readers by mixing real historical facts and personalities related to those historical facts that really existed with fictional characters. So they manage to address a fact known to the public, highlight the importance of this personality that really existed, but from the point of view of fictitious characters, who may not have been important for the historical event, but show how the event affected the lives of normal people and how the decisions of the real characters interfered in society.

An example of this can be seen in the book "And the wind took", where it portrays the events that occurred before, during and after the session war. Although the main characters are a southern family that didn't really exist, the book features real characters like Lincoln and the generals of the Confederate and Union armies.
Ethos, pathos, and  logos. Ethos is appealing to the reader by the author establishing his credability. Pathos is appealing to the reader by the author "pulling at the readers heart strings." This means he is illiciting emotions in the reader. Logos is appealing to the reader by the author establishing logic in his argument. These stratagies are used by all authors, not just historical fiction writers.

B. parallelism.
C. punctuation.
D. modifiers.

Answers

The sentence stated above has an error in: B. parallelism. Parallelism is the use of identical grammatical form as to items of the same level of importance. 

Using parallelism, the sentence above should have been written this way:

Her sketches are unusual because of their unusual perspective, radical use of color, and unexpected subjects usage.

In this sentence, there is parallel structure in the use of adjective forms.

The moon doesn’t change shape. It actually stays the same. We see the moon change a different shape throughout the month which is what we know as the phases of the moon.

This is because the moon orbits around the earth, as the earth rotates on its axis. The shape we see is what is being reflected by the sun, you see 8 different shapes of the moon each month.

What is a couplet?A stanza made up of four lines
A pair of consecutive rhyming lines
A point where a row of poetry ends
A repetition of sounds in neighboring words

Answers

A pair of consecutive rhyming lines is known as a couplet.

Poetry is a literary form where several language qualities are used to make or produce a more rhythmic emotional response. This form of literature mainly employs rhythm, meter form, style, structure, etc. in its construction.

  • A couplet is one literary device where there are two consecutive lines of poetry that rhyme.
  • The two lines may also have the same meter.
  • Examples of a couplet are found in most of William Shakespeare's sonnets, like "Sonnet 55"-

"So, till the judgement that yourself arise,

You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes."

  • Alexander Pope's "An Essay on Criticism" also contains a couplet-

"Tis hard to say, if greater want of skill

Appear in writing or in judging ill;"

A couplet is a literary device where two lines of a poem may have the same meter and rhyme. Also, the term "couplet" means a pair, two, a couple. Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
