The pair of uses of figurative language which helps support the extended metaphor of freedom versus oppression is "dawn bright lawn; grave of dreams," option D.

<h3>What is figurative language?</h3>

Figurative language is the use of words and phrases with a different or bigger meaning than the usual, literal one. Common examples of figurative language are:

  • Personification
  • Simile
  • Metaphor

In "The Caged Bird," the author uses figurative language, more specifically metaphor, to refer to freedom and oppression. The image conveyed by the phrase "dawn bright lawn," for example, evokes an idea of freedom. On the other hand, "grave of dreams" evokes an idea of oppression and suffering.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer.

The complete question with the missing answer choices is:

There are several things that distinguish heroes from monsters, especially in classical literature. Heroes and monsters are very highly contrasted through the dichotomy of good and evil. Heroes are often wholly good; monsters are often wholly evil. Being "good" entails protecting the wellbeing of others, and being "evil" means causing destruction and harm to others. They are also very starkly different in their physical appearance and personal attributes. Heroes, especially Beowulf, are bold, strong, physically fit, usually handsome, brave, wise, etc. Monsters are usually grotesque, horrifying, oversized, etc. Hope this helps.

3. Which of these is a reason why the python should be hunted? *
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Pythons are negatively affecting the local ecosystem.

Explanation:

Thousand of pythons are living in the Everglades, is just a fact.

Large rewards are being offered to capture and kill pythons, is also a statement. It's not a reason why pythons should be hunted, just a fact on what you'll get if you kill pythons. Of course... there is a reason why pythons should be hunted, but it is not stated here, so it's not the answer.

People who brought them here as pets created the problem. This isn't explaining the problem, just creating a scapegoat.
