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.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the stanza from "Twelfth Song of Thunder."

The voice that beautifies the land!

The voice above,

The voice of the thunder

Within the dark cloud

Again and again it sounds,

The voice that beautifies the land.

Which message does the repetition in the stanza make clear?

The sound of thunder up above, crashing repeatedly, makes the natural landscape beautiful.

The crashing of the thunder as it rolls over the land is everywhere and makes the people nervous.

The thundering sounds of the storm are everywhere and can make nature a dangerous place.

Some thunder is coming over the landscape, but it appears that it will only be temporary.

Answer:

The sound of thunder up above, crashing repeatedly, makes the natural landscape beautiful.

Repetition is a figure of speech that allows the repetition of the same word, or the same syllable in a text. This figure of speech is used to emphasize a term, highlighting its importance for the message conveyed by the text.

In the case of the poem shown above, repetition is used with the word "voice", which is repeated several times to highlight the sound of thunder that embellishes the natural landscape.
