6. To identify the connotative word in the excerpt, we need to understand that connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries, beyond its literal meaning. In this case, the word "suffered" is used connotatively because it carries a negative and distressing implication, reflecting the miserable condition of the fellow mentioned. Therefore, the correct answer is C. suffered.
7. To determine the purpose of the Yaqui song, we need to analyze its content. The song describes a young girl named Hesucita, praising her beauty and making comparisons to stars. Based on this, we can infer that the purpose of the song is to inform the reader or listener about Hesucita's appearance and attributes. Therefore, the correct answer is A. To inform.
8. The question asks for a defining feature of women's contribution to American and colonial literature. Based on historical context, women were often marginalized and faced limited opportunities for writing and publishing during those periods. Therefore, the defining feature of women's contribution to American and colonial literature is that they were underrepresented. Thus, the correct answer is B. They were underrepresented.
9. To identify the non-primary source from early American and colonial literature, we need to understand that primary sources are original documents or firsthand accounts created during that time period. Among the options provided, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is not a primary source because it is a sermon preached by Jonathan Edwards during the Great Awakening in the 18th century. The other options, such as "The Song of Hiawatha," "The Federalist Papers," and "Notes on the State of Virginia," are considered primary sources. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
10. The effect of the repetition in the given lines is to create an anxious tone. The repetition of phrases like "silken sad uncertain rustling," "repeating," and "entreating entrance at my chamber door" adds to the suspense and builds up a feeling of anticipation and unease. Therefore, the correct answer is A. It creates an anxious tone.
I disagree with your answers for 7 and 9.
10. Look at these words:
uncertain rustling
fantastic terrors
beating of my heart
What do you think the tone is?
The others are right.
