The answer is:  " assonance " .
________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________
           The answer is "assonance"— since there are repeated, nearby words with the same vowels that are internal (i.e. not at the beginning of the word, as in "alliteration") within words that are repeated and/or nearby.
        {This is the definition or description of "assonance".}. <span>
_______________________________________________________
        {Note that "alliteration" is not limited to nearby words with initial consonant sounds —but also refers to nearby words with repeated initial vowel sounds; such as:
   
   "Always avoid annoying alliteration."  }.
____________________________________________________
    Furthermore, in "assonance", the vowel sounds do NOT have to be in within the FIRST syllable of each of the words—nor do the vowel sounds in repeated, nearby words HAVE to be within the SAME SYLLABLES;  rather, this just happens to be the case in the actual question being asked.
________________________________________________________ 
     Specifically, in the example provided:
________________________________________________________
        "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain."    ;
______________________________________________
          the words:  "rain", "Spain", "mainly", "stays", "mainly", "plain" ;  are words that are very close together with the same vowel sound of the "long 'a' "  ;   providing examples of "assonance".
____________________________________________________
 Hope this explanation—though lengthy—is of some help!

Answer:

'The mercenaries fought for as long as they were paid, not just the 40 days a year that knights fought.'

Explanation:

This supports the statement that hired soldiers would fight for longer than knights would. They had motivation which was currency in exchange for their participation in battle/war. The knights on the other hand were only required a certain amount of days. It was not stated whether they were paid or not, but I can assume that they were not which would make one--specifically--a knight reluctant to go to battle. Therefore, hired soldiers did the work the knights were reluctant to do.

An outgoing social butterfly, often accused of flirting, is _____. cholic melancholic phlegmatic sanguine
Natali [406]
I believe that the best answer for this question would be sanguine. People who fall under the category of the sanguine temperament tend to be lively, pleasure-seeking, talkative, and highly social. They can easily fall in love and may be flighty and forgetful. You can also reach this conclusion by ruling out the others; choleric individuals are angry and impulsive, melancholic individuals are introverted and solemn, and phlegmatic individuals are thoughtful and calm. Hope this helps.
