“True it is, in all points of spirit befitting an honorable dog, he was as courageous an animal as ever scoured the woods—”

“A termagant wife may, therefore, in some respects, be considered a tolerable blessing; and if so, Rip Van Winkle was thrice blessed.”

Answer:

D

Explanation:

I took the quiz :)

The excerpt from “Rip Van Winkle” that best shows that Washington Irving finds humor in the Van Winkles’ relationship is - “A termagant wife may, therefore, in some respects, be considered a tolerable blessing; and if so, Rip Van Winkle was thrice blessed.” Therefore option D  is the correct response.

Washington Irving was an early 19th-century American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat. Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, both of which may be found in his book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent, are his two best-known short stories.

Despite drawing inspiration from European authors, particularly German mythology and tales, he developed a distinctively American accent that was both lofty and sarcastic. He made use of pictures to give his readers a sense of the Hudson Valley's scenery.

When Irving was 19 years old, he started writing as a journalist under the alias Jonathan Oldstyle. He covered Aaron Burr's treason trial as a reporter for his brother Peter's newspaper The Morning Chronicle. From 1804 to 1806, Irving had a "great tour" of Europe, which his family funded him.

Here is your INTRODUCTION paragraph:

Introduction:
What we learn about our friends on a road trip may be very different from what we learn about them in their homes or at school. Characters in a story can also change when they move from one place to another. Authors use setting — the time and place of a story — as a device to reveal particular aspects of a character. In John Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums," the shift of the setting from the ranch to the road plays a crucial role in the development of the main character, Elisa.

List three elements of this paragraph that make it a strong introduction paragraph.

HINTS:

Does the paragraph first state an idea that is bigger than just the story?
Does the paragraph make a statement to connect character to setting?
Does the paragraph name the story by title and author?
Does the paragraph make a very specific claim about our story, "The Chrysanthemums" that tell us what the rest of the writing will address? Which sentence is that?
Don't just say YES. These are hints - write up your own sentences to explain why this is an effective intro paragraph.
