Ineed this answerd asap read the excerpt from “some nonsense about a dog” and answer the question. a vet. once opined that for a mongrel he was a good dog, that a black cocker mother had thrown her cap over scottish mills, so to speak. this analysis accounted for him perfectly. always, depending on the moment's mood, he was either terrier or spaniel, the snap and scrap and perk of the one alternating with the gentle snuggling indolence of the other. as terrier he would dig furiously by the hour after a field mouse; as spaniel he would “read” the breeze with the best nose among the dog folk of our neighborhood, or follow a trail quite well. which describes the effect the use of figurative language has on the tone of this excerpt? select all that apply: by including nibbie among the "dog folk," the author suggests an attitude of approval. by speculating about nibbie's genetic makeup, the author conveys a contemplative tone. by referencing nibbie's persistence, the author conveys a proud tone. by giving nibbie's nose the ability to "'read' the breeze," the author suggests an attitude of respect. by including the vet's description of nibbie, the author communicates an affectionate tone. by describing the differences between a terrier and a spaniel, the author implies an ironic tone by categorizing this particular mongrel as "a good dog" the author indicates an attitude of surprise.

Javier is writing a literary analysis of the secret garden. read this introduction to his essay. frances burnett’s “the secret garden” explores the challenges of a sickly, self-centered little girl named mary lennox. after mary’s parents die of cholera, she moves from india to england to live at her uncle’s estate in yorkshire. while living at the old estate, mary discovers an abandoned garden that belonged to her deceased aunt. tending to the neglected garden brings mary joy, and her health improves. through mary’s transformation, burnett presents nature as a symbol of rebirth and healing. which piece of textual evidence should javier use to support the claim made in the introduction? a. “‘it’s in the garden no one can go into,’ she said to herself. ‘it’s the garden without a door. he lives in there. how i wish i could see what it is like! ’” b. “in india she had always felt hot and too languid to care much about anything. the fact was that the fresh wind from the moor had begun to blow the cobwebs out of her young brain and to waken her up a little.” c. “mary felt lonelier than ever when she knew she was no longer in the house. she went out into the garden as quickly as possible, and the first thing she did was to run round and round the fountain flower garden ten times.” d. “‘it isn’t a quite dead garden,’ she cried out softly to herself. ‘even if the roses are dead, there are other things alive.’”
