Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

the syllables of the word araby were called to me through the silence in which my soul luxuriated and cast

an eastern enchantment over me. ("araby" from dubliners, p. 2)

based upon the context, how is araby viewed by the narrator? select all that apply.

exotic

magical

quiet

spare

what

I would contend that the right answers are EXOTIC and MAGICAL.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that since the syllables of the word Araby (which refers to the name of the bazaar where the narrator planned to go in order to buy something for the sister of his friend Mangan) "cast an enchantment" over him, and his soul was "luxuriated in silence" after hearing such word, it is possible to infer that he viewed Araby as an exotic and magical place. He envisioned that place as exciting, mysterious, and enjoyable.  

in the thematic approach, an interpreter relies on a central theme (i.e., a major point or message) to guide development of a communication activity or device. in presenting the activity or device, the thematic interpreter develops the theme in such a way that it will be highly relevant to an audience.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
