In the phrase "to buzz forth doleful lamentations", the word "buzz" is an example of an onomatopoeia. Basically, it means that the sound of bees flying or "buzzing" expresses a melancholy expression. This could be considered an onomatopoeia, but it also is used to say the bees "spoke" which implies that they "buzzed" as in it was their way of speaking, diction if you will. The whole sentence is "<span>At length, as if comprehending their disaster, they settled down in clusters on a dry branch of a neighboring tree, whence they seemed to contemplate the prostrate ruin, and to </span>buzz forth doleful lamentations<span> over the downfall of their republic" which clearly says they SEEMED, which rules out diction as an answer. So, the answer should be onomatopoeia. </span>Hope this helps!

Based on the excerpt, which inference can be made?
A. August is usually relaxed.
B. August and Via have a close relationship.
C. The older kids are teasing Via.
D. Via is older than August.
The answer is C because based on the available information, Via got angry when the kids said something.
From her reaction, the kids must have said something to upset her or most likely, teased her.
As for the other options, there's simply not enough information available from this passage that points to Augusta or her age or relationship with Via.
