Answer 1

1. I think that correct answer is: generative writing and drafting both involve developing new ideas. Main difference that the drafting writing begins with kinda test-essay and then develops to something complete.

3. As far as I remember the narrator in I Just Lately Started Buying Wings is a. the author. Author is often the narrator in creative nonfiction essays.

5. If my memory serves me well, correct answer to this question is: Ted Kerasote's narration differs from a fictional short story in that it a. is based on factual events.

7. I'm completely sure that this phrase is a perfect example of b. personification. In personification, author gives human qualities to non-living things. So the phrase "The house sad sadly" shows us that the house has human emotions like sadness.

8. According to what I've mentioned before this question is also a good example of b. personification, because the boulder also characterised as human.

9. The excerpt given above is the example of d. simile. You can see the comparison between lake and reflected mountain. There is a tip to define if it's simile or metaphor. If you see comparison with using as, like, etc., this is simile. If there're no comparing words, then it's metaphor.
