1. The correct answer is: The verb should agree with cakes, which is a plural noun.
To determine whether the verb should be singular or plural, you need to identify the subject of the sentence. In this case, the subject is "Neither of the cakes." The word "neither" is an indefinite pronoun that is used to refer to two or more people or things. Since "neither" indicates multiple cakes, the verb should agree with the plural noun "cakes." Therefore, the correct form of the verb would be "Neither of the cakes is very expensive."
2. The correct answer is: images and emotionally charged words.
To determine how the poet communicates the main idea, you need to analyze the poem and identify the literary devices or techniques used. In this case, the options provided are all possible techniques, but in the context of the question, the best answer is "images and emotionally charged words." This is because poems often use vivid images and emotionally evocative language to convey their main ideas and create a strong emotional impact on the reader.
3. The correct answer is: create a flowing, repetitive rhythm.
To analyze the use of alliteration in a poem, you need to consider its purpose and effect. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in words close to each other. In the poem "We Real Cool," the repeated consonant sounds create a flowing, repetitive rhythm that contributes to the overall musicality and impact of the poem. It helps to create a memorable and catchy sound pattern, emphasizing certain words and enhancing the reader's experience.
4. The correct answer is: thesaurus.
To find synonyms and antonyms for words, a thesaurus is the most useful reference tool. A thesaurus provides a list of words with similar meanings (synonyms) and opposite meanings (antonyms). It can help you expand your vocabulary, find alternative words to express ideas, and improve the precision and variety of your writing. So, when you need to find synonymous or antonymous words, consulting a thesaurus would be the most appropriate resource.
