This is a metaphor that likens the west riding men to sleuth-hounds, or, as they're better known, bloodhounds. bloodhounds are known for their determination and their extraordinary ability to track by scent. by saying that the west riding men are bloodhounds chasing after money, the author is attempting to paint a picture in your mind of the men being deadset on finding the object they're tracking, similar to a dog tracking a scent.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

AABCCD

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Eldorado" talks of a knight who journeys through<em> "sunshine ... and shadow</em>", looking for the lost paradise city of Eldorado. The poem is a similar theme of looking for the lost city and how it has caught the interest of many explorers.

The rhymes scheme of a poem refers to the way the words are used in each line of a poem. In the given lines taken from the third stanza of the poem, the rhyme scheme is AABCCD.

Considering the lines of the poem,

<em>And, as his </em><u><em>strength</em></u><em> (A) </em>

<em>Failed him at </em><u><em>length</em></u><em>, (A) </em>

<em>He met a pilgrim </em><u><em>shadow</em></u><em>— (B) </em>

<em>‘Shadow,’ said </em><u><em>he</em></u><em>, (C) </em>

<em>‘Where can it </em><u><em>be</em></u><em>— (C) </em>

<em>This land of </em><u><em>Eldorado</em></u><em>?’ (D)</em>

the end word in the first line is "strength", with the same rhyme as "length". So, if we put "A" as the symbol for the first rhyming words, then "shadow" can be put as "B" and "he" and "be" of the third and fourth lines can be written as C. Likewise, "Eldorado" is put as "D".

Thus, the sequence comes as AABCCD.

Read the following sentence:
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The adverb in the sentence is:

B. really

Explanation:

"Long", "quiet" and "loud" are not adverbs - they are adjectives. An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or a pronoun by attributing a quality to it. In this case, "loud" is modifying "noise", "long" is modifying "break", and "quiet" is modifying "time".

On the other hand, an adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. "Really" is modifying the adjective "loud", intensifying it. Therefore, "really" is the correct option.
