Explanation:
The correct answer is predicate adjective.
A predicate adjective is the first adjective found after a linking verb (used to link, or connect two parts of a sentence). In the sentence above, the linking verb is <em>seemed </em>and the first (and the only) adjective after it is the word rapid.
There are no objects in the sentence so B and D are incorrect, and given that rapid is an adjective rather than a noun, A is also incorrect.
Answer:
The speaker stops to see the snowfall in the woods but knows his responsibilities won't allow him to stay long.
Explanation:
The poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost is a poem where the speaker is in a dilemma between his duty and what he wants to do. Stuck between admiring the snowy woods and his duty living in society places him in a contrasting position.
While the central idea of the poem is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature, he also acknowledges that it is <em>"queer"</em> even for his horse to stop in the middle of the woods. But as a man living in a society, he <em>"ha[s] promises to keep, and miles before [I] sleep"</em>.
And through the presentation of how the speaker stops and admires the snowfall in the woods, he also knows that his responsibilities won't allow him to have this enjoyment/ leisure for a longer duration.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:
"Under the astonished, wide-eyed moon, with the fires casting strange shadows upon these towering figures, I am rather inclined to believe him."
Explanation:
The use of the words "astonished" and "wide-eyed" that are used to describe the non-human presence of the moon creates a feeling of wonder. It depicts a scene in which the moon is large (wide-eyed) and beautiful (astonished). This and the description of the fires and their shadows creates an almost magical scenario to help the reader envision what the narrator is seeing. The personification aids in this, allowing us to understand how the narrator <em>feels</em> as well (wonder).
The words "casting upon" can also be considered personification, but it is not relevant in this case.
