Which sentence most clearly uses concrete description to move the reader to sadness? a. the loneliest time of my life was when i tried to find a job in the slums of chicago back in 1982. b. a single streetlamp lit the empty street; then the light buzzed and faded, leaving him in darkness. c. the filthy crowd filled the streets; they ran like cattle being pursued by some fearsome predator. d. when someone close to you is feeling blue, a kind and encouraging word may be all they need.

A single streetlamp lit the empty street

The best answer would be: "B. A single streetlamp lit the empty street; then the light buzzed and faded, leaving him in darkness".

Explanation:

Letter B is the best option because the sentence uses concrete elements to create a sad and lonely environment, such as by the use of "single streetlamp", "empty street", and the words "faded" and "darkness". All of this creates a sense of melancholy, either because there's a sudden single light in an empty street and a following sudden light fading and consequent darkness. Letter A sounds like a normal narrative, although the narrator describes the time as the loneliest. Letter C also sounds like a normal narrative and there is no sadness in its statement, although it may be interpretive. Then, letter D is also a normal statement, which sounds like a self-help idea rather than a concrete description of sadness.

b)metaphor

explanation:

when reading the sentence carefully it says,"hope is a thing with feathers" it's like saying: hope is a thing like feathers

get what i'm saying? instead of using a smilie like or as they use "with"

it would be nice enough if i got .

this is what i put and it was correct

it's a way for authors to communicate with reader in this time period. books from the past can teach us about life.
