1. When actors speak in unison, they are all saying the same thing at once.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the question and consider what it means for actors to speak in unison. If actors were speaking one after another, the result would not be a unified voice. If they were talking in rhyme, each actor would be saying different words, just with a similar sound pattern. If they were quieter than normal, their voices would not be synchronized. Therefore, the correct answer is that actors speaking in unison means they are all saying the same thing at once.
2. The phrase "when i sleep i snore with the lions and tigers in the safari land" is an example of imagery.
To determine the answer, we need to understand what each option means. Exaggeration involves overemphasizing something beyond its realistic proportions, and this phrase does not fit that definition. Point of view refers to the perspective from which a story is told, and again, the phrase does not address that aspect. Details relate to specific elements of a story or description, but the phrase does not go into such specifics. Imagery, on the other hand, refers to the use of descriptive language that appeals to the senses. The phrase in question paints a vivid picture of sleeping and snoring alongside lions and tigers, appealing to the sense of hearing and creating a visual scene. Therefore, the correct answer is imagery.
3. The poet's use of the phrases "let the talking drums spread the news" and "let the words on my tombstone be multi-lingual and let them scream asante princess, african queen" is intended to get the reader to hear the words.
To determine the answer, we need to understand the purpose of the phrases and how they relate to our senses. The phrases are not focused on visual elements, as they do not describe anything that we can physically see. They also do not mention any specific smells or tastes. However, the phrases involve sound-related elements, such as talking drums spreading news and words on a tombstone screaming. This use of auditory language appeals to the sense of hearing and allows the reader to imagine the sounds. Therefore, the correct answer is to hear.
4. The best way to correct the misplaced participial phrase in the sentence "The tourists found the museum walking around the city" is to write "Walking around the city, the tourists found the museum."
To determine the answer, we need to identify the misplaced participial phrase in the given sentence and consider how it can be correctly placed. The phrase "walking around the city" describes the tourists, but it is not properly placed in the original sentence. By moving the participial phrase to the beginning of the sentence and adding a comma after it, we can clearly indicate that it modifies the tourists. Therefore, the correct answer is to write "Walking around the city, the tourists found the museum."
