The author creates an historical allusion.

An allusion is a brief or inderect reference to a person, thing, or an idea of an historical, cultural, literary, or political importance. Both the first professional football player that was deaf and Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play Major League Baseball are both important historical figures. Therefore, the allusion would be historical rather than biblical, literary, or mythological.

Ksju [112]

We can actually deduce here that the literary element for "The woods are lovely, dark and deep" is imagery.

The statement can also be personification.

<h3>What is imagery?</h3>

Imagery refers to the figurative language or literary element that is actually used to create clear mental images or pictures which actually appeals to the senses.

Personification is the attribution of human characteristics to animate objects and elements.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

2. Inspire has a positive connotation.

3. Brainwash has a negative connotation.

Explanation:

Positive connotation occurs when the word gives a pleasant meaning, relating to something good and positive, as the name says. In this case, the word "inspire" has a positive connotation, because when we read that word, we associate it with something good.

Negative connotation, on the other hand, occurs when the word is related to a bad and negative meaning. The word "brainwash" has a negative connotation, as it promotes the feeling of something that is not pleasant and is undesirable.

However, it is always good to remember that negative and positive connotations are very much related to the way the text is written. In this case, a word with a negative connotation can be used positively in a text and vice versa.
