subterfuge?
A. A display of high intelligence
B. A floor plan using blueprints or schematics
C. A deceptive device or strategy
D. A legal transaction between two parties
Which is likely to lead to similar sentence patterns? Select one:
Use of informal language.
Starting each sentence with the same words.
Use of commas or semi colons.
Writing about the same topic several times.
Answer:
Im pretty sure it B
Explanation:
but if im wrong im srry
Answer:
Starting each sentence with the same words
Explanation:
I believe it is "Starting each sentence with the same words."
Sentence patterns refers to the order of the parts of speech and certain aspects of the English language, like the subject or the object.
The first one is "Use of informal words," which would give an informal tone to a piece of text. However, I do not see how this would make the sentences look similar structurally.
You can immediately eliminate "Use of commas or semi-colons." We use commas and semi-colons in almost any piece of text, but not every piece of text has the same sentence pattern.
Then, we have "Writing about the same topic several times." Even if you write about the same topic, you may come across a new perspective that you did not see before. So, even writing about the same topic can produce different texts and, as such, different sentence structures.
If I were to start every sentence with the word, "however," I would have to make a contrast in every single sentence. In fact, the content would not make sense. See my example:
However, I would like to make a call to Adam and Steve about this evening's meeting. However, I want to talk to Adam before Steve because I need his Powerpoint presentation. However, I do want to talk to Steve after Adam because he left the television on... etc.
See how the sentence structure is similar?

5. What are Mrs. Dalloway's thoughts and mood as the scene ends?
Answer:
choices?
Explanation:
Answer:
Rather than feel pity, she's heartened: Shakespeare's words "Fear no more the heat of the sun" (from Cymbeline), return to her. These words connect Clarissa and Septimus (he had remembered them earlier in the novel), and suggest an end to fearing death, something that has haunted Clarissa throughout the story.

. . . I have to ask you to be alone in your consulting room, to admit with your own hand into the house a man who will present himself in my name, and to place in his hands the drawer that you will have brought with you from my cabinet. Then you will have played your part and earned my gratitude completely. Five minutes afterwards, if you insist upon an explanation, you will have understood that these arrangements are of capital importance; and that by the neglect of one of them, fantastic as they must appear, you might have charged your conscience with my death or the shipwreck of my reason. –The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson What does the reader learn about Dr. Jekyll from his letter to Dr. Lanyon?
