Answer:

In this excerpt, Wheatley uses hyperbole to show <u>the success she wishes for the king.</u>

Explanation:

Hyperbole is the use of exaggerated words to describe something. It is mainy significant by people who lay too much emphasis on something, making it seem out-of-the-world and whose meaning cannot be literally taken into account.

Phillis Wheatley's poem "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty" is a poem that is a form of praise and appreciation for King George. The poem, though short, presents the king in a graceful manner. Through the use of the words as given in the first stanza of the poem, she uses hyperbole to express her wish that the king be blessed and successful.

Thus, the correct answer is the last option.

How does the poet’s simile comparing ""life’s ambitions"" and ""a faulty pilot light"" contribute to the central idea of the poe
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Both eventually come to an end or die.

Explanation:

"The Coming Of  Night" is a poem written by Linda Pastan. The poem is about how the speaker accepts the inevitability  of death. The them of the poem is death.

A simile is a rhetoric device thaat is used to compare two unlike things or objects or ideas.

<u>In the poem, Pastan has compared the ambition with the 'pilot light.' It is important to know that the 'pilot light' is an important instrument to run an appliance. So, by comparing life's ambition with 'pilot light', the poet is making a point that just like the pilot light is vital to run appliances, ambitions are important to run a life. Which means that the poet is conveying a message that a life without an ambition is likely to end just as a 'faulty pilot light' will come to an end</u>.  

This comparison helps in the contribution to the central idea oof how life slowly ends without an ambition, just like a faulty pilot light.
