Harriet Tubman, Conductor on the Underground Railroad: Rhetoric

Question 22 • ELPGEQ3 M/J Language Arts 1 - 1001010 HCPS v24

Which detail from "Echo and Narcissus" is a part of Narcissus's backstory?

Answer

As the year went by, the mountains were once again covered with the pale green leaves of spring.

Although his good looks still charmed both fairies and mortals alike, his heart was given to no one.

Hours later, his stomach began to grumble, and Narcissus remembered that he had not eaten lunch.

The only sound was the hum of crickets and bees and the occasional tweets of birds overhead.

Explanation

A backstory detail explains something about Narcissus’s life or character before the events of the main scene. Choice B tells us that Narcissus was admired for his good looks but did not love anyone, which helps establish his character. The other choices describe the season, a moment when he is hungry, or the sounds around him.
