How do the authors use word choice and structure to
support and develop the central idea in the two
passages?
read the passage from a doll's house by henrik ibsen.
[nora: ) i have not been able to put aside much from my
housekeeping money, for torvald must have a good table.
i couldn't let my children be shabbily dressed; i have felt
obliged to use up all he gave me for them, the sweet little
darlings!
mrs. linde: so it has all had to come out of your own
necessaries of life, poor nora?
nora: of course. besides, i was the one responsible for it.
whenever torvald has given me money for new dresses
and such things, i have never spent more than half of it;
have always bought the simplest and cheapest things.
heaven, any clothes look well on me, and so
torvald has never noticed it. but it was often very hard on
me, christine because it is delightful to be really well
dressed, isn't it?
both authors use repetition to emphasize a key idea in
the text.
both authors use words with negative connotations to
tell about a challenge.
ibsen uses a cause-effect structure, while woolf uses a
problem-solution structure.

answer: is c

explanation: hop it : ))

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.
