Answer 1

Questions:

Answer 2

Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

(LC)

Which type of statement should an author use if he or she wants the audience to discover details about the setting on their own rather than seeing a direct description?

Imputed

Exposed

Implicit

Explicit

Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 10 points)

(MC)

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron and answer the question that follows:

Right now, I am spending a lot of time listening to the voice of a particularly compelling character: the young Merlin. In the end, I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home. As I listened to that owl's resonant [echoing] call in the pre-dawn hours one morning, something about it gave me a whole new cadence [rhythm], a whole new sound. And then, a whole new voice.

The author states, "I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home." What is the author's implicit message in this statement?

The author realized Merlin's voice should have the same qualities as the owl's voice.

The author thought Merlin's voice should seem like it is hooting.

The author wished he had thought of Merlin's voice sooner.

The author knew the owl would bring Merlin's voice to life.

Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 10 points)

(MC)

Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows:

If that voice sounds true, don't thank me. Thank that great horned owl. (Or perhaps it was not an owl after all?) And thank the children, my own and others, who have never forgotten that a good story can be true. For they understand that the power of imagination is truly the power of creation.

Which of the following is implied in the paragraph?

The author doesn't want the reader to thank the horned owl for voice.

The author doesn't think voices can be true.

The author believes that some people forget about the power of imagination.

The author believes imagination and creation are connected.

Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 10 points)

(MC)

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows:

Another way to tap the power of imagination is through place. My own background as a writer is rooted in nature, having grown up reading Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, and John Muir long before I ever dipped into Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Ursula Le Guin, E. B. White, or J.R.R. Tolkien. My early writings were really nature journals; at nine, I wrote a complete biography—of a tree. (It was a once-majestic chestnut tree not far from my home.) So it should come as no surprise that I view place as much more than just a setting for a story. It is, in truth, another form of character, no less alive and complex, mysterious and contradictory, than the richest character in human form.

What does this paragraph imply about the way the author would treat the setting in his work?

The author does not think the setting or place of a story is important.

The author thinks the setting or place is the most important part of a story.

The author does not think the other parts of a story are important.

The author thinks the setting can influence the story as much as characters can.

Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 10 points)

(MC)

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows:

Yet deeper than character, or even place, is another concept: voice. More than any other doorway to the imagination, I find this one the trickiest to open—and the hardest to close. For a character's true voice is heard, its tones, cadences, and ideas are long remembered.

The ancients [people from ancient history] used anima, in fact, to describe breath as well as soul. That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath—the voice—of a character lies its essential spirit. If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader.

Which phrase explicitly states the author's attitude about voice?

It is the trickiest door to open.

The ancients invented it.

Only the writer hears it.

The reader will always hear it.

Answer 7

Hi! We are unable to help users on tests. Schools do not allow it nor do we. We can always help you prepare for tests, but we just can't help you on them. It's a form of cheating sadly. If we were able to I surely would be more than willing. Can you please close this?

I'm sorry we can't help.

Good luck though on the rest of it! :)

Answer 10

Thanks, @beccaboo333, Sadly, you ARE right.
Would I be able to at least get help?

Answer 11

On tests, no. We aren't supposed to help users at all with tests. I'd advise any answers given be deleted. Administration from schools are actually on here and often will do internal searches on answers given on here compared to ones on tests. It can lead to an instant failure.

Answer 12

Alright then.. Thanks Anyway Becca ^-^

Answer 13

good luck :)

Answer 14

I know this post is old, but it wasn't actually a test. I'm doing the same assignment and it's more like a homework sheet. Just so you all know.
