Answer:

“Don’t act like a Romeo in front of her.” – “Romeo” is a reference to Shakespeare’s Romeo, a passionate lover of Juliet, in “Romeo and Juliet”.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly.

jeka57 [31]

This question is missing the stanza. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the final stanza. What does the sound of this

rhyme scheme create?

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands:

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done,

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.

- "The Song of Wandering Aengus,"

William Butler Yeats

A. a feeling of surprise and unexpected rhymes

B. a feeling of chaos and messiness

C. a feeling that everything is repeating

D. a feeling of calm and an expected ending

Answer:

The rhyme scheme creates:

D. a feeling of calm and an expected ending

Explanation:

When we pay attention to the last word of each line, we see that there is a broken pattern to the way they rhyme. <u>The rhymes are interspersed,</u> but even that logic is often unobserved. "Moon", for instance, does not rhyme with any other word. T<u>his creates an interesting effect on readers. We learn to expect something, but are </u><u>surprised </u><u>to read something else.</u>

Now, when we pay attention to the mood conveyed by the speaker<u>, we can sense calmness.</u> What is described, and the way the speaker describes it, is filled with a <u>sense of certainty</u>. He knows he will meet his loved one, even if he is old. <u>He knows there will be peace and happiness once he finds her.</u>
