4 0

Answer:

The literary device used in this paragraph is Comparison.

Explanation:

As its name suggests, <em>Comparison </em>is the literary device in which the author contrasts two elements to show similarity. In this text, the author explains that the character of Esperanza establishes the comparison between something that should be graceful (as a laughter of a woman) with something terrible to hear (breaking dishes).

Which words and phrases in the passage help create a tone of foreboding? Check all that apply.
borishaifa [10]

The phrases creating a tone of foreboding are:

  • "strange blight;"
  • "evil spell;"
  • "mysterious maladies;"
  • "shadow of death."

<em>Foreboding</em> means predicting or announcing that something bad is about to happen. Taking the answers one by one, you can see how they relate to the same ominous idea:

  • a "strange blight" and "evil maladies" refer to a destructive condition which no-body can explain;
  • an "evil spell" means that it is interpreted as a magical curse;
  • the "shadow of death" is a metaphor meaning that death is coming to the crops or cattle (depending on the original text excerpt).
