The poem speaks of a giant statue of a great and well-renowned king, but that statue lies destroyed in the sand. It speaks of the king being so famous that even "the mighty" cannot compare with it. And yet, in an ironic twist, this statue is described as a wreck. This implies that death overpowers even great fame and wealth, and the best choice is A.
C is the answer I took my test
The correct answer should be D. 84 percent
Considering that:
- Apostrophe is the device used to address a third party in the text;
- An extended metaphor is used when the author draws a comparison between two unlike elements throughout a series of sentences or lines;
- Synecdoche is the device used when a part of something represents the whole;
- A rethorical question is the one that is asked but without expecting a real answer;
<u>Apostrophe </u>and <u>rethorical question</u> are the literarty devices present in this line.
