Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. The second doctor watched for contagious and infectious diseases. He looked especially for infections of the scalp and at the eyelids for symptoms of trachoma, a blinding disease. Since trachoma caused more than half of all medical detentions, this doctor was greatly feared. He stood directly in the immigrant’s path. With a swift movement, he would grab the immigrant’s eyelid, pull it up, and peer beneath it. If all was well, the immigrant was passed on.

How does the author's use of concrete details such as "stood directly in the path," "swift movement," and "grabbed" affect the reader’s impression of the doctor?

A. These details describe how the doctor felt about doing trachoma inspections.
B. These details provide information about medical examinations from the doctor’s perspective.
C. These details describe the doctor’s actions as direct and focused.
D. These details provide a list of medical examinations.

explanation:

the answer to your question is d because the clause conveys the tone of the man in the excerpt, which is arrogant and cocky. hope that .

there is no woman's sides

can bide the beating of so strong a passion

as love doth give my heart; no woman's heart

so big, to hold so much; they lack retention.

hope this !

figurative language is a resource that fiction writers use to make better descriptions of what they want to write about or express. they can improve their stories, as they can elaborate more vivid and colorful sentences. this way, the reader will be able to have more detailed images in his/her mind.

places, objects, people and even feelings or emotions can be described with a lot of detail to metaphors, similes and personifications. making different kinds of comparisons to make a description more specific, as well as assigning human qualities to non-human objects (and vice-versa) can be very useful for science fiction writers.  

on the other hand, alliterations allow writers to elaborate more entertaining and creative sentences. it consists in using a sequence of words that start with the same consonant letter. they can be used to emphasize something important the writer wants to express, or just as a fun literary device.
