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)...

mina [271]

Answer:

C. The target audience and the subject matter lend themselves better to visual media.

Explanation:

The reason why it would be better to include a video clip in this website is because the target audience and the subject matter lend themselves better to visual media. If the audience is interested in a sporting event, it is likely that they like to look at action and movement. Therefore, they are likely to enjoy videos. Moreover, the action of a sporting event lends itself well to a video format.
