Explanation for question 1:
To determine which persuasive technique is used in the given phrase, we need to analyze the statement. The phrase states, "This movie was advertised as 'full of adventure.' It isn't." This statement is using an appeal to emotion. The speaker is expressing disappointment or dissatisfaction with the movie not living up to its advertised claims, which is likely to evoke an emotional response from the audience.
Explanation for question 2:
To identify the opinion expressed in the selection, we need to consider the subjective nature of the statement. The statement, "Robert Pierre did a poor job acting in Storm Fever," expresses a personal judgment or evaluation of Robert Pierre's acting skills. Since it is a subjective statement that can be open to interpretation or differing opinions, it qualifies as an opinion.
Explanation for question 3:
To identify the verb mood in the given sentence, we need to analyze the nature of the sentence. The sentence, "This movie was advertised as 'full of adventure'," uses the indicative mood. The indicative mood is used to state facts or make statements about reality. In this case, the sentence is presenting a statement about how the movie was advertised, which is a factual statement.
Explanation for question 4:
To identify the sentence that uses the past perfect tense, we need to analyze the verb tense used in each option. The sentence, "I had planned to see the movie tomorrow, until I read the review," uses the past perfect tense. The past perfect tense is formed by using "had" + past participle. In this sentence, "had planned" indicates an action (planning to see the movie) that happened before another past action (reading the review), which fits the definition of the past perfect tense.
