Answer:
We know that the relation between the sound of a word and its meaning is arbitrary because:
A. Different languages have different words that refer to the same objects/concepts.
Explanation:
There are two reasons for this answer. First, only cognates work as a kind of synonym because they come from the same origin. Second, the majority of languages don't share the same origin, rules, inspirations, and applications. Therefore different words refer to the same objects. An example is red, Rojo, aka. All of them mean red.
This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.
Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?
- Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
- A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
- A simile creates a visual image for the reader.
- Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch
Answer:
The right answer is option 4.
Explanation:
IMAGERY: it is figurative language used to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. E.g. Time is slipping through my fingers.
In this excerpt, taken from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller, the answer that best describes the imagery is option number four "sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch".
Hi, please see the correct order below:
1. King marries queen.
2. Hamlet talks to ghosts.
3. A troop of actors perform a play.
4. Hamlet kills Polonius.
You can be sure the order is right. Good luck!
Edit; I reduced the number of events because I had considered more than those four only when answering your question for the first time.
In Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," the narrator goes to the hospital every day for the rehabilitation of his knee, injured in the war.
Hope I could help!
