Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 1, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and the background information on the allusion it contains.

Excerpt:

[FLAVIUS.] See whether their basest mettle be not moved.
They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
Go you down that way towards the Capitol;
This way will I. Disrobe the images
If you do find them decked with ceremonies.

MARULLUS. May we do so?
You know it is the feast of Lupercal.

FLAVIUS. It is no matter; let no images
Be hung with Caesar’s trophies. I’ll about,
And drive away the vulgar from the streets:
So do you too, where you perceive them thick.
These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing
Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men,
And keep us all in servile fearfulness.

Background information:

In Rome, February 15 was Lupercalia, an annual festival celebrating the myth of the she-wolf that saved the lives of the infant twins Romulus and Remus.

Build from the memories not from the tears and pain. Thank you have a great day, and remember tomorrow may be your last so do what needs to be done, but dont forget to live.

Dear Senator Riley,

I read in the local newspaper that you voted against Senate Bill 487, which would grant greater freedom of the press and thus greater government transparency. I read your arguments, and I believe that you made one or two thoughtful points. However, I do not believe you are representing the will of the voters. A recent poll showed that 65% of the voters in your district were in favor of Senate Bill 487. When this issue comes up again, please remember that you do not have the people on your side.

Sincerely,

C. Austen describes the events with an air of intellectual
detachment
O D. A tone of enthusiasm is present throughout Kerouac's novel.

Answers

Answer:

C. Austen describes the events with an air of intellectual detachment

Explanation:

hope it's help.

The sentence that most clearly describes the diction and syntax of a work of literature is C. Austen describes the events with an air of intellectual detachment.

What is diction ?

Diction refers to the choice of words and the style of writing used by the author, while syntax refers to the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language.

In option A, the focus is on the repetition of a word, which is an element of diction but not necessarily syntax.In option B, the focus is on the use of sarcasm, which is an element of diction but not necessarily syntax.

In option D, the focus is on the tone of the novel, which is an element of diction but not necessarily syntax.

Option C, on the other hand, focuses on the style and structure of Austen's writing, which encompasses both diction and syntax.

Therefore,  phrase "air of intellectual detachment" suggests a particular choice of words and sentence structure that convey a sense of objectivity and distance, which are both aspects of syntax and diction.

Spatial order describes how things

are both alike and different
O look from the observer's eyes
taste and smell to the reader

Answers

Answer:

look from the observer's eyes.

Explanation:

In English composition, an organizational structure that involves the presentation of details as they appear or are located in space is generally referred to as spatial order. The details are usually presented either from top to bottom or left to right depending on the writer.

Generally, spatial order unlike chronological order is typically focused on location (space) while ignoring time.

Additionally, spatial order is also known as space structure or order of place because it gives a description with respect to how things appear when they are (were) observed by the writer (observer).

Hence, spatial order describes how things look from the observer's eyes.

This ultimately implies that, it determines the perspective from which details of an object or thing is observed by a reader.

Some examples of the use of spatial order includes the following;

I. A technical writer explaining how power steering mechanism in automobile cars work.

II. An architect giving a description of the design of a building.

Excerpt from Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children By Ransom Riggs I picked up the flashlight and stepped toward the trees. My grandfather was out there somewhere, I was sure of it. But where? I was no tracker, and neither was Ricky. And yet something seemed to guide me anyway—a quickening in the chest; a whisper in the viscous air—and suddenly I couldn’t wait another second. I tromped into the underbrush like a bloodhound scenting an invisible trail. It’s hard to run in Florida woods, where every square foot not occupied by trees is bristling with thigh-high palmetto spears and nets of entangling skunk vine, but I did my best, calling my grandfather’s name and sweeping my flashlight everywhere. I caught a white glint out of the corner of my eye and made a beeline for it, but upon closer inspection it turned out to be just a bleached and deflated soccer ball I’d lost years before. I was about to give up and go back for Ricky when I spied a narrow corridor of freshly stomped palmettos not far away. I stepped into it and shone my light around; the leaves were splattered with something dark. My throat went dry. Steeling myself, I began to follow the trail. The farther I went, the more my stomach knotted, as though my body knew what lay ahead and was trying to warn me. And then the trail of the flattened brush widened out, and I saw him. Summarize the text. The narrator is - *

excerpt from Walden
by Henry David Thoreau

This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt-sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night, and the note of the whip-poor-will is borne on the rippling wind from over the water. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface. Though it is now dark, the wind still blows and roars in the wood, the waves still dash, and some creatures lull the rest with their notes. The repose is never complete. The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now; the fox, and skunk, and rabbit, now roam the fields and woods without fear. They are Nature's watchmen—links which connect the days of animated life.
There is commonly sufficient space about us. Our horizon is never quite at our elbows. The thick wood is not just at our door, nor the pond, but somewhat is always clearing, familiar and worn by us, appropriated and fenced in some way, and reclaimed from Nature. For what reason have I this vast range and circuit, some square miles of unfrequented forest, for my privacy, abandoned to me by men? My nearest neighbor is a mile distant, and no house is visible from any place but the hill-tops within half a mile of my own. I have my horizon bounded by woods all to myself; a distant view of the railroad where it touches the pond on the one hand, and of the fence which skirts the woodland road on the other. But for the most part it is as solitary where I live as on the prairies. It is as much Asia or Africa as New England. I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.

important events in your life or experiences that make you feel more like an adult.

Think of why these events became a turning point in your life.

How did you realize you were growing up, that you actually became in adult?

Answers

I hope this helps!!

I think experiences such as calling to make appointments for myself are experiences that make me feel more like an adult, because when you’re a kid your parents will be the ones to book you doctors appointments and hair dressers appointments so being the one to do it feels like you’re becoming more independent, also getting a job makes me feel more like an adult.

These events became a turning point in my life because they made me feel more independent, I could make my own decisions and choices and then using the money from my job I could back up those choices without help of any people older then me.

I realised I was growing up when not just other people were referring to me as an adult but I myself was.
