Question

PLEASEE HELP ME!!!!
Read the following excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson's Essay in the Art of Writing and answer the question:

Answer 1

Rhythm of the Phrase.Some way back, I used a word which still awaits an application. Each phrase, I said, was to be comely; but what is a comely phrase? In all ideal and material points, literature, being a representative art, must look for analogies to painting and the like; but in what is technical and executive, being a temporal art, it must seek for them in music. Each phrase of each sentence, like an air or a recitative in music, should be so artfully compounded out of long and short, out of accented and unaccented, as to gratify the sensual ear. And of this the ear is the sole judge. It is impossible to lay down laws.

Answer 2

Which sentence demonstrates a deliberate change in syntax to alter the rhythm of this paragraph?

Answer 3

A "Each phrase, I said, was to be comely; but what is a comely phrase?"

B "In all ideal and material points, literature, being a representative art, must look for analogies to painting and the like; but in what is technical and executive, being a temporal art, it must seek for them in music."

C "And of this the ear is the sole judge."

D "Each phrase of each sentence, like an air or a recitative in music, should be so artfully compounded out of long and short, out of accented and unaccented, as to gratify the sensual ear."

Answer 9

OKAY THANKYOU SO MUCH @Blu-Girl

Answer 10

you're welcome:)

Answer 11

so i should pick A? @Blu-Girl

Answer 12

Syntax is the way in which words and punctuation are used and arranged to form phrases, clauses and sentences. This can mean the selection of a word or the word's tense, the arrangement of the words and the selection of the punctuation.

Answer 13

I'm pretty sure... yeah I would go with a because syntax is basically like another way to change words around to put them in other contexts, like instead of what is a comely phrase, each phrase I said was to be comely so yeah, A

Answer 14

thanks @Blu-Girl can you help me with some more of these? please?

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

There is nothing more disenchanting to man than to be shown the springs and mechanism of any art. All our arts and occupations lie wholly on the surface; it is on the surface that we perceive their beauty, fitness, and significance; and to pry below is to be appalled by their emptiness and shocked by the coarseness of the strings and pulleys. In a similar way, psychology itself, when pushed to any nicety, discovers an abhorrent baldness, but rather from the fault of our analysis than from any poverty native to the mind. And perhaps in aesthetics the reason is the same: those disclosures which seem fatal to the dignity of art seem so perhaps only in the proportion of our ignorance; and those conscious and unconscious artifices which it seems unworthy of the serious artist to employ were yet, if we had the power to trace them to their springs, indications of a delicacy of the sense finer than we conceive, and hints of ancient harmonies in nature.

Answer 18

THIS IS IN BOLD:
I must therefore warn that well-known character, the general reader, that I am here embarked upon a most distasteful business: taking down the picture from the wall and looking on the back; and, like the inquiring child, pulling the musical cart to pieces.

Answer 19

Re-read the line in bold. What message is the author trying to convey through this figure of speech?

Answer 20

A The author thinks musical machines and paintings are more meaningful and complex than literature.

B The author thinks literature is more meaningful and complex than paintings or musical machines.

C The author thinks analyzing literature can be compared to taking a painting or a machine to pieces.

D The author believes all artistic endeavors are distasteful wastes of time that provide no real meaning.

Answer 21

I'm thinking it is C, but one sec

Answer 22

inquiring means to show an interest, so clearly he is interested in the analyzing of the painting, and comparing it to literature. I would go with C.
