In an american childhood by annie dillard the following passage is an example of what writing technique

"as he ran up and down the length of the field, following the football, i ran up and down the sidelines, following him."

a) long description

b) poor verb choice

c) repetition for effect

c) Repetition for effect

Explanation:

The author uses repetition, which is an rhetorical device, in order to covey certain meaning, to add emphasis, unity, power and an artistic effect to the ideas of both characters doing the same (running up and down and following something) but with different aims, perhaps in order to contrast that while the male's attention was on a superficial thing, like a ball, the speaker's attention was on a real person.

the correct answer is the following.

one of the groups i belong to is the boy scouts. this is a problem-solving group because it has tasks that we need to solve in order to other people in different activities such as the rescue of lost pets, or elder people in need.

the other group i belong to is kids pro environment, and is an information-sharing group that tries to create conscience about the risks and problems that generate pollution in our cities. we share information to other students and parents on the importance of keep our communities clean and our skies clear.
