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 types of details should a draft of a research-based essay contain?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

You do want to paraphrase information. You want to make sure that you know essentially who said what.

You want to include the facts that relate to the topic. This is more to remind yourself what the facts are.

The quotations are always a good idea. You are making sure that your reader knows that you are not alone in what you think or if it is a quotation that requires a negative response, that is also good.

These are the three that you should check.

What can be observed from this painting? Check all that apply.
xz_007 [3.2K]

The things that could be observed from a painting are that it is a <u>portrait of a man</u>, it shows<u> visible brush strokes</u>, and<u> displays bold colors</u>.

Even though there was no attached painting, we would be able to see these things within the painting. You can see what is contained in the painting, how it was painted, and what colors the painting is. However, you can not see when a painting was created or know that it is part of a large collection by simply looking at the painting.
