Helen was obviously a young person of italics, a human exclamation point, enthusiastic, irrepressible. She sat fidgeting in her
Alisiya [41]
We need to use process of elimination to determine what the best answer is for this question. If we look at choice B, there is nothing in the excerpt that suggests Helen doesn't like getting attention. In fact, being described as an exclamation point would contradict this to a point.

Answer C is highly improbable. There is nothing in the excerpt that suggests she can speak both of those languages.

Answer D, much like B and C, is improbable. While she is described using punctuation marks, there is nothing to suggest that she is enthusiastic about them.

Returning to Answer A, this seems the most likely answer because when one uses an exclamation mark in writing, it shows enthusiasm or outbursts. Looking at the description of Helen as "enthusiastic and impressionable," describing her as a human exclamation mark is a good choice. It is because of this that A is the best answer.

what literary device is used in the following sentence? " I tried to hold it back, but a wave of emotion overcame me."
Goryan [66]

The poetry device used here is <u><em>metaphor.</em></u>

Metaphor is a poetry device that is used in comparing two unlike things without using words like 'like' or 'as'.

The phrase 'a wave of emotion' is metaphorical because the emotion that is felt at that time is compared to that of a wave without including words such as  'like' or 'as'.

Therefore it is a metaphor.

Hope it is clear ^_^
