Question

which statements best analyze the effect of word choice on the story? check all that apply. the overall effect of word choice in the story is to create a threatening atmosphere. the choice of religious terms suggests that communities live in peace in this new world. the use of positive adjectives to describe nature suggests that the world is now tranquil and safe. the descriptions of bones, broken roads, and falling buildings suggest the horror of the past. the use of terms such as god - road to describe the setting suggests a religious society.

Explanation:

1. For "The overall effect of word choice...threatening atmosphere": If the story has ominous word choices, this can create a threatening atmosphere. But we need to check others.
2. "The choice of religious terms...live in peace": Religious terms alone don't necessarily mean peace; this is less likely.
3. "The use of positive adjectives...tranquil and safe": Positive adjectives for nature can imply a safe, calm world now.
4. "The descriptions of bones...horror of the past": Descriptions of decay and destruction (bones, broken roads, falling buildings) can suggest a past filled with horror.
5. "The use of terms such as 'god - road'...religious society": Terms like "god - road" have religious connotations, suggesting a religious society. Also, the first statement: if the word choice has threatening elements, but let's re - evaluate. Wait, actually, let's analyze each:

• First option: If the story's word choice is not mainly threatening (maybe it's about a post - apocalyptic world with nature taking over, so maybe not threatening now. Wait, no, maybe I was wrong. Let's do it properly.
• Option 1: If the story's word choice is more about a post - disaster world with nature, maybe not threatening. So maybe not.
• Option 2: Religious terms don't imply peace. So no.
• Option 3: Positive adjectives for nature (like maybe nature is thriving) can suggest the world is now tranquil and safe. Yes.
• Option 4: Bones, broken roads, falling buildings are signs of a past disaster/horror. Yes.
• Option 5: "god - road" is a religious - sounding term, so it suggests a religious society. Yes. Also, let's check again. The correct ones are:
• The use of positive adjectives to describe nature suggests that the world is now tranquil and safe.
• The descriptions of bones, broken roads, and falling buildings suggest the horror of the past.
• The use of terms such as "god - road" to describe the setting suggests a religious society. Also, wait, maybe the first option is incorrect. Let's think of a typical post - apocalyptic story where nature has reclaimed the world. The word choice for nature is positive (tranquil), past is described with horror (bones, broken roads), and religious terms (god - road) suggest a new religious society. So the correct statements are:
• The use of positive adjectives to describe nature suggests that the world is now tranquil and safe.
• The descriptions of bones, broken roads, and falling buildings suggest the horror of the past.
• The use of terms such as "god - road" to describe the setting suggests a religious society. Also, maybe the first option is wrong. Let's confirm:
• If the story is about a world after a catastrophe, the current world with nature (positive adjectives) is safe, past (bones, broken roads) is horrifying, and "god - road" is religious. So these three (the third, fourth, and fifth options) and maybe the first? Wait, no, maybe the first is wrong. Let's re - check:
• The first option says "threatening atmosphere". If the world is now tranquil (from positive adjectives for nature), then the overall atmosphere may not be threatening. So the correct ones are:
• The use of positive adjectives to describe nature suggests that the world is now tranquil and safe.
• The descriptions of bones, broken roads, and falling buildings suggest the horror of the past.
• The use of terms such as "god - road" to describe the setting suggests a religious society.

Answer:

• The use of positive adjectives to describe nature suggests that the world is now tranquil and safe.
• The descriptions of bones, broken roads, and falling buildings suggest the horror of the past.
• The use of terms such as "god - road" to describe the setting suggests a religious society.
