"My favorite fairy tale as a child was Cinderella. I asked my parents to read the story to me every night—and I always demanded that they use different voices for each character. Sometimes I would make up my own dialogue to supplement the story. When I got older, I even wrote my own stories. They were full of larger-than-life characters and magical events, just like the story of Cinderella. My dream is to one day work in the film industry bringing exciting stories to life."

My favorite childhood story, Cinderella, was not just a bedtime tale; it was a gateway to a world of imagination. Night after night, I asked my parents to bring each character to life through their expressive voices, an experience that enriched my love for storytelling. As I grew, so did my creativity, leading me to create dialogues and write stories brimming with magic and extraordinary characters, much like those of Cinderella. This journey of imagination has cemented my dream to bring such exciting narratives and larger-than-life characters to the silver screen in my future film career.

I believe the answer is: C. Allusion
Allusion refers to a literary device that is used to make indirect reference without actually mentioning it explicitly.
The reference that made through Allusion usually could only be understood by the readers if we read the previous part of the writing in order to get the context.
Final answer:
In Herman Melville's 'Bartleby, the Scrivener', the sentence that mentions Marius brooding among the ruins of Carthage is an example of the literary device allusion, emphasizing Bartleby's isolated condition. (Third option)
Explanation:
The literary device employed in the sentence from Herman Melville's short story Bartleby, the Scrivener is allusion.
The reference to 'Marius brooding among the ruins of Carthage' alludes to the historical figure Gaius Marius, a Roman general, who is known to have sat among the ruins of Carthage reflecting on the transitory nature of fame and power.
This allusion serves to deepen the characterization of Bartleby by likening his contemplative solitude to that of Marius, thus highlighting his isolation and detachment from the world around him.

Read this sentence from the Declaration of Independence. Which idea does
this sentence best help to develop?
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw off such Government...
O
A. The colonists should separate from Great Britain.
O
B. It is self-evident that people have inalienable rights.
O
C. Government's power comes from the people.
O
D. British citizens have also mistreated the colonists.
The correct answer is A. The colonists should separate from Great Britain.
Explanation:
The Declaration of Independence was a document ratified in 1776 to state the colonies were independent of Great Britain. In the excerpt presented, it is explained if under certain circumstances related to government abuses people should change government and end with the form of government that is oppressive, this is explained through details such as "it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government" or "a long train of abuses and usurpations". These details develop the idea it is necessary for the colonies to end with their relationship with Great Britain or that the colonists should separate from Great Britain.
Final answer:
The sentence from the Declaration of Independence supports the idea that it is the colonists' right and duty to separate from Great Britain due to a pattern of abuses, suggesting that this is a valid reason for seeking independence and establishing a new government.
Explanation:
The sentence from the Declaration of Independence, 'But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government...' best helps to develop the idea that the colonists should separate from Great Britain. This sentence emphasizes the colonists' justification for seeking independence due to the consistent pattern of abuses they endured. The Declaration goes on to state that when a government aims to establish absolute tyranny, as they accused the British government of doing, the people not only have the right but also the obligation to dissolve the political bonds and establish a new government that better protects their unalienable rights.

Read these paragraphs written by a student.
A police officer’s primary duty is to protect the lives and property of others. To become a police officer, a high school diploma or its equivalent is required. Additionally, most must also graduate from their agency’s training academy and fulfill difficult personal and physical qualifications as well. In 2010, police officers in the United States earned a median yearly income of approximately $55,000. Unfortunately, there is a high rate of on-the-job injuries for police officers.
A judge is responsible for applying the law in court and overseeing the legal process. One of the major duties of a judge is to help negotiate agreements between opposing parties. Most judges are elected or appointed, and they are typically required to have a law degree and to have worked as a lawyer. The average median yearly salary for judges in 2010 was $92,000.
Both of these careers are a part of the legal system. Similarly, both require specialized training before a job can be obtained. However, it takes much longer to become a judge than it does a police officer, and a judge can expect to make more money. Although they are both trained to uphold the law, the role each plays in the legal system is very different.
