Question

5 multiple choice 1 point read the sentence from the passage.
ow the silence from our loss roared in my ears\ (paragraph 1). how does the author’s use of personification in this sentence affect the mood of the passage? it describes how ashamed the narrator feels, which increases the angry mood. it expresses how isolated the narrator feels, which adds to the lonely mood. it expresses the overwhelming sense of loss, which adds to the disappointed mood. it describes the heartbroken reactions of the crowd, which adds to the sorrowful mood.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the personification: "silence... roared" gives silence human - like action. The "silence from our loss" implies a sense of loss, and "roared in my ears" shows the intensity of that loss being overwhelming.
2. Evaluate each option:

• Option 1: The sentence is about loss, not shame or anger. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The focus is on loss, not isolation or loneliness. Eliminate.
• Option 3: The personification of silence roaring due to loss conveys an overwhelming sense of loss, and a sense of disappointment (related to unfulfilled expectations from loss) fits. This option is consistent.
• Option 4: The sentence is about the narrator's experience, not the crowd's reaction. Eliminate.

Answer:

It expresses the overwhelming sense of loss, which adds to the disappointed mood.
