Lincoln affected Douglass's life, as he always looked up to Abraham and his ways. He had always felt very strongly about abolishing slavery, especially when having the chance to talk to Abraham Lincoln about taking an act on finally abolishing slavery.

The correct answer is The dance committee hung the decorations—blue and gold streamers—on the morning of prom.
Explanation:
The original sentence is incorrect in terms of punctuation because an essential detail that belongs to the main sentence "the decorations" has been enclosed in parentheses. This is an incorrect use of the parentheses because these and the em dashes (—) enclose additional details. In this context, to correct the punctuation the parentheses should be omitted. On the other hand, the em dashes enclosing the detail "blue and gold streamers" are correct because this an additional non-essential detail.
The term figurative language refers to a wide range of literary devices and techniques used to make the speech more effective, persuasive, and impactful. Some of the most common figurative languages include metaphors, similes, and allusions which go beyond the literal meanings of the words. As well as alliterations, imageries, or onomatopoeias which appeal to the senses of the readers.
In the particular sentence provided <em>"It quivered at each sound, the house did."</em> the type of figurative language used is Personification, that is a figure of speech in which a thing, either an idea or an animal, is given human attributes.
In this sense, a non-human object (it) is giving the ability to quiver or trembling because of a sudden strong emotion, which is a human quality. Thus, it could be said that "it" (which represents a thing) has been personified in such sentence.
