Read the excerpt below and answer the question. that evening after supper i stepped out onto the back stoop, and the yellow lamplight behind me threw my shadow onto the patches of snow and earth, enclosing it in the rectangle that the doorway formed. i looked up. the spotty clouds looked like bits of melting snow pressed into the darkness, and the stars were out, sprinkled into the stillness beyond. the black trees swayed and the cold wind was familiar. how does vivid imagery contribute to the characterization of the narrator in this excerpt from "the passing"? select all that apply. it creates a melancholy mood that reflects the narrator’s feelings. it establishes a sense of stillness that emphasizes the narrator’s loneliness. it implies that the same thing that happened to joe willow will happen to the narrator. it describes the narrator’s shadow in the same way that joe willow’s shadow was described.

I think the answers are "It creates a melancholy mood that reflects the narrator’s feelings." and "It establishes a sense of stillness that emphasizes the narrator’s loneliness."

Explanation:

either a donut or a sphere or a pancake or a flat sphere. it depends on where the vertical line is.

if the line goes through the center of the circle and is perpendicular to a diameter containing the center, then you get a flat circle.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.

in "people in peace, not profit and war" chrisholm uses inductive reasoning for her argument against defense spending by stating that the new administration, like most americans, wanted to invest in social objectives, so they must not want to prioritize defense spending. mr. nixon said "we can delay no longer in launching new approaches to the problem that beset them", but chrisholm points out that the programs were delayed anyways.
