What textual evidence supports the analysis that the
setting develops the character's bravery?
how shall i tell what i saw? i went carefully, my strung
bow in my hand, my skin ready for danger. there should
have been the wailings of spirits and the shrieks of
demons, but there were not. it was very silent and sunny
where i had landed-the wind and the rain and the birds
that drop seeds had done their work--the grass grew in
the cracks of the broken stone. it is a fair island-no
wonder the gods built there. if i had come there, a god, i
also would have built.
-"by the waters of babylon,"
stephen vincent benet
"the grass grew in the cracks of the broken stone."

Which type of rhetoric is used in this sentence? while i'm certain some will disagree with what i'm about to say, i respectfully ask them to listen to the evidence i will provide to support my claim

Me answer all of these! i’m failing in ela

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds.beyond the pit stood the little wedge of people with the white flag at its apex, arrested by these phenomena, a little knot of small vertical black shapes upon the black ground. as the green smoke arose, their faces flashed out pallid green, and faded again as it vanished. then slowly the hissing passed into a humming, into a long, loud, droning noise. slowly a humped shape rose out of the pit, and the ghost of a beam of light seemed to flicker out from it.forthwith flashes of actual flame, a bright glare leaping from one to another, sprang from the scattered group of men. it was as if some invisible jet impinged upon them and flashed into white flame. it was as if each man were suddenly and momentarily turned to fire.then, by the light of their own destruction, i saw them staggering and falling, and their supporters turning to run.which options accurately describe how the author develops the plot in the excerpt?
