Read this paragraph from joseph conrad’s book heart of darkness. “the sun set; the dusk fell on the stream, and lights began to appear along the shore. the chapman lighthouse, a three-legged thing erect on a mud-flat, shone strongly. lights of ships moved in the fairway—a great stir of lights going up and going down. and farther west on the upper reaches the place of the monstrous town was still marked ominously on the sky, a brooding gloom in sunshine, a lurid glare under the stars.” how does the structure of the underlined sentence differ from the other sentences in the paragraph, and what effect does the sentence’s structure have on the meaning of the paragraph? a. it uses more descriptive, elaborate language, which sets the language style in the rest of the story. b. it uses more action words, which sets the pace at which actions will unfold in the rest of the story. c. it is more clipped, so that it is read in bursts of words, which creates a rhythm for the rest of the story. d. it depends on punctuation to chunk the text into readable parts, which determines the speed of the rest of the story.

I think the answer is A

Explanation: Its much more descriptive than the other sentences

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
