The Neglected Senses, What conversations does the author capture in dialogue? What does her use of dialogue convey that explanations might not?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Right at the beginning of the article, we can see a dialogue where the author can identify conversations about the independence of blind girls, even with this weakness. These dialogues show how these girls are able to move around the city efficiently and return home using other senses, since it is not possible to use visions.

The use of dialogue shows how these meanings are used, and this explanation cannot show. Through dialogue we get to know how girls use the cane to stimulate touch, how they pay attention to the direction of sounds, among other things.

Several of the volunteers brought his or her tools to the building project.

Other members of your team may ask you to give them advice.

Answers

the answer is the last one.

the first question is wrong because it would’ve referred Justin as “his” & not “their” because he is a male.
the second question is wrong because art supplies are more than one thing, they are an entire bunch. it would’ve referred the art supplies as “they were” & not “it was”.
the third question is wrong because the volunteers aren’t just one individual, it’s more than one individual. they would’ve been referred to as “their tools” & not “his or her tools”.
the fourth answer is right because it refers the team as more than one individual, using “them” & not “him or her”.

Explanation:

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go—
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

—“Sonnet 130,”
William Shakespeare

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

It causes the narrator to consider what could happen to him if he doesn't leave the reservation.

Answer:

The effect of Mary's death on the narrator is that C. It leads to the narrator having a stronger ...

Explanation:

This change in attitude towards the mother became necessary when Mary died. Her death brought the narrator to the realization that life is not permanent. It is ephemeral and can end anytime.

There is no time for procrastination. It is better to enjoy the love of your family now, developing stronger relationships with each other, than to wait until all things are right.

In this moving and emotion-filled memoir, "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me " by Sherman Alexie, the experience from the death of Mary taught the narrator that all things cannot be right.  Death removes the complications of life.

Thus, Mary's death led the narrator to develop a stronger relationship with his mother than when Mary was still alive.
