Answer: C) metaphor.

Explanation:  a metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given lines from Sir Philip Sidney's sonnet, we can see an example of a metaphor, that compares Stella's eyes to bright beams. It isn't a simile because it doesn't use the words "like" or "as" to make the comparison, it doesn't use similar grammatical structures, so it isn't parallelism, and it isn't a hyperbole because it isn't exaggerating.

The correct answer is C. metaphor.

"Bright beams" that Nature has wrapped in black are Stella's eyes. In a way, it is also a simile, but every metaphor is a contracted simile (without "like").

There are other literary devices in this passage as well: contrast (black - bright), rhetorical question (one that doesn't have an answer, or an answer is obvious)...

What was the difference between the plot and theme.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

A) Plot is what happens. Theme is why it happens.

Explanation:

In the way that the answer explains it, a plot is the 'point a to point b to point c' part of the story.

For example, a simple plot would be: A toddler named Kenny is playing with his toys. Another child named Darla comes and asks to play with Kenny's toy. Kenny gets angry. Darla cries, and Kenny feels bad for not sharing. So, Kenny gives her a toy anyways.

So, a theme for this would then be sharing, or learning how to share. This overall idea of learning to share is what drives the story. The plot is what literally happens.
