The correct answer is: It creates doubt, which suggests that Ortiz isn't very confident in his claims.

The phrase I guess is often used to express uncertainty or a lack of conviction in what one is saying.

When Ortiz says I guess, it implies that he is not entirely sure about the accuracy or validity of his claims.

This linguistic choice introduces an element of doubt into the conversation, suggesting that Ortiz's statements are not definitive or that he is hedging his assertions.

It does not reflect boredom, as there is no indication in the phrase itself that Ortiz is uninterested; nor does it indicate that he is joking, as I guess is typically associated with uncertainty rather than humor.

While the phrase can contribute to an informal tone, its primary function in this context is to express doubt, which affects the confidence level of Ortiz's claims rather than simply setting a casual tone.

In the poem below what are some figurative speech in it and the theme


It hurts but I find myself
pretending to be fine
“I’m okay” has become my favorite lie
and my smile is usually a mask

my silence speak

being able to hide behind lies
of happiness
the gift of being strong in a moment
of weakness

Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the common theme of soldiers’ reluctance to talk about their war experiences? Ambush by Tim O'Brien (excerpt)

When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. She knew about the war; A: [she knew I'd been a soldier.] "You keep writing war stories," she said, "so I guess you must've killed somebody." B: [It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while.] Someday, I hope, she'll ask again. But here I want to pretend she's a grown-up. I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was absolutely right. C; [This is why I keep writing war stories:] D: [If they had been reticent men it would have been different, but some of them were talkers and some were even boasters.] E: [They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore.] This was considered heroic in them. It was thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these men had no such consideration in any other field. F: [Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple.] They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.

The other day my teacher took up a comic book I'd been reading in class and told me I needed to be reading "real" books. Now, granted, I should not have been reading any book in class other than what we were learning, but I think my teacher is wrong. Comic books are just as "real" as any other book. Comic books are often educational and teach students about subjects they did not know before. Comic books are also extremely fun and popular and give students a positive reading experience. I'm going to recommend that we put some comic books on the summer reading list for next year.

Which sentence could best be added to this paragraph as a supporting detail?

A) I think we should be allowed to read comic books anytime and anyplace that we want to.

B) Comic books have all the things a "real" book has--plot, character, conflict, and theme.

C) My family has always been a big family of readers with full bookshelves all over our home.

D) In addition to liking comic books, I also like to read non-fiction adventure stories for boys.

The Fall of the House of Usher
By Edgar Allan Poe

Noticing these things, I rode over a short causeway to the house. A servant in waiting took my horse, and I entered the Gothic archway of the hall. A valet, of stealthy step, thence conducted me, in silence, through many dark and intricate passages in my progress to the studio of his master. Much that I encountered on the way contributed, I know not how, to heighten the vague sentiments of which I have already spoken. While the objects around me—while the carvings of the ceilings, the sombre tapestries of the walls, the ebon blackness of the floors, and the phantasmagoric armorial trophies which rattled as I strode, were but matters to which, or to such as which, I had been accustomed from my infancy—while I hesitated not to acknowledge how familiar was all this—I still wondered to find how unfamiliar were the fancies which ordinary images were stirring up. On one of the staircases, I met the physician of the family. His countenance, I thought, wore a mingled expression of low cunning and perplexity. He accosted me with trepidation and passed on. The valet now threw open a door and ushered me into the presence of his master.

Roderick Usher's poem
By Edgar Allan Poe

In the greenest of our valleys,
By good angels tenanted,
Once a fair and stately palace—
Radiant palace—reared its head.
In the monarch Thought's dominion—
It stood there!
Never seraph spread a pinion
Over fabric half so fair.

Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On its roof did float and flow;
(This—all this—was in the olden
Time long ago);
And every gentle air that dallied,
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid,
A winged odor went away.
...
And, round about his home, the glory
That blushed and bloomed
Is but a dim-remembered story
Of the old time entombed.

And travellers now within that valley,
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms that move fantastically
To a discordant melody;
While, like a rapid ghastly river,
Through the pale door,
A hideous throng rush out forever,
And laugh—but smile no more.

Which theme is represented in both the paragraph and the poem?
Change is for the better.
Change is for the worse.
Love is always everlasting.
Health and happiness always win out.
