Shadows stretched across the grass as evening approached, and the activity at the park waned. All that remained was a pair of fishermen, hats low and rods high, sitting on the pond’s embankment. A lone dog walker strolled toward home, and a flock of geese fluttered nervously as she passed. A few dappled rays of sun still reached through the trees, and dandelion spores danced in their light. Soon, the only sounds were the steady cries of crickets and the occasional splash-and-tug of a successful fisherman. What do the descriptive details reveal?

the popularity of the park
the fishermen’s daily routine
the dog walker’s thoughts
the peacefulness of the park

The descriptive details reveal:

D. the peacefulness of the park

Explanation:

The author of this passage was able to, very skillfully, paint a picture in our minds. Because of the descriptive details used, we can now vividly imagine a peaceful park. Just a couple of fishermen, a lone dog walking by, the setting sun and the flowers, all those elements contribute to the aura of tranquility. There is not much activity - almost none at all. It is the end of the day, that lazy moment when the world seems to be going to sleep. The use of the following words helps convey such peacefulness: waned; strolled; danced; crickets; etc.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
