1. how does the flashback in this passage add tension to the narrative?
2. what do you learn about cornelia and bonnie from the flashback ?
3. is there a way for the writer to provide the reader with the same information, without using flashback? would another technique be as effective as using a flashback ?

Hi! You can find the answers below in the 'explanation' section.

Explanation:

1. By inserting a flashback at a critical moment,the writer prolongs the moment and  adds to the suspense. Also, it serves to reveal a hidden side of Cornelia’s personality (shyness).

2. We learn that Cornelia and Bonnie have been friends since the sixth grade, and that Bonnie encouraged Cornelia to overcome her shyness.

3. for the writer to provide the reader with the same information without the use of the flashback, the writer could describe Cornelia’s mixed feelings about Bonnie. However, the description would not be as effective as aflashback, as it would not provide a vivid example of Bonnie’s influence on Cornelia’s past behavior.

i say that the right answer is: three personal subject pronouns. that’s because you will see “she” two times, referring to the librarian, and “they” one time, referring to the books. personal subject pronouns are used to replace common nouns or proper names.

the only possessive noun it’s present on the first sentence, when the speaker refers to “his” father.

he said that the sum rises in the east.

explanation:

it is definitely not rose because it does not make sense and at the same time, it is not the past or present. "he said that" means the future. he is telling someone what happens.
