Full Question:
What type of figurative language is used in the first and second lines of "November" by Alice Cary?
A) Hyperbole
B) Simile
C) Onomatopoeia
D) Personification
Answer:
The correct answer is D) Personification
Explanation:
First, let's take a look a the referenced lines below:
"The robin will wear on his bosom"
"A vest that is bright and new"
Notice that the poet states that a bird will wear a vest. Ideally, only humans wear clothing.
This means that an animal has been ascribed a human attribute. Whenever this happens with an animal, place or thing, personification has been utilized.
So by way of definition, personification is a figurative language involving the attribution of human nature or character to an animal, place, or thing.
Another interesting example of personification is
"The summer is here. The sun gladly grins ear to ear."
The sun is an inanimate object it is not supposed to be able to grin or be glad. But the meaning is not lost on the reader because, unlike winter, during summer, there is a lot of sunlight.
- Onomatopoeia is the wrong answer. It is a literary device wherein words which imitate the natural sound of an animal or a thing is used to create a more effective description. See definition here: brainly.com/question/21505822

Answer:
This for Roger......a bit to eat
Explanation:
That is more important because he was living on the streets and what if he did't have food to eat and he could starve to death but Mrs. Jones took him to her house and gave him food even after what he did instead of turning him in to the cops.
In the short story "The Bicentennial Man" by Isaac Asimov, I believe the main antagonist is immortality because death is part of the human experience, and it was the one thing that kept Andrew from being considered a human. I would accept Andrew because during his journey for his human identity, he helped us question what it means to be human - it is much more than a physical human body, but an experience as a whole.
The correct answer is C. Jerry challenges himself for more.
Being a young boy, he has felt for a long time as if he was in charge of his mother and vice versa. Both of them are overprotective. Jerry seeks independence, yet he is afraid of abandoning his widowed mother. When he separates from her to go to another beach, he feels as if he was betraying her. But his urge to go his own way is stronger. True, he feels the peer pressure of those boys, and is afraid of not being able to beat the challenge they posed for him. But his real, deep and intimate urge is to challenge himself, and not compete with them. When he dives through that tunnel under the sea, he risks his life. But he doesn't give up, as that venture is his own, and he wants to experience it. Once he beat that challenge, he goes back to his mother, calm and serene, and doesn't even feel a need to tell her about it. He is more mature and independent now than he was at the beginning of the story.
