Answer:

I would say that the best answer for this question: Which rhetorical device is used in these lines, would be: hyperbole, or exageration.

Explanation:

Rhetorical devices are mechanisms of figurative speech, used by writers to convey their message in the best way possible, while at the same time encouraging the flourishing of emotions and feelings in the reader, to ensure the best comprehension of it. There are many such devices to be used from, and sometimes, you can use several in a simple paragraph, but in this particular case, we have a hyperbolic use of language. The language used by the speaker, and the sense of desperation conveyed by the words, like "I haven´t time to think", or "Advertisements everywhere", gives you the idea that literally, this speaker is surrounded by selling people and papers, and it conveys a sense of urgency and despair at being so surrounded. This is why it is a hyperbole.

Read these lines from "Annabel Lee" and answer the question.
KonstantinChe [14]
This passage uses repetition to create a haunting effect in two different ways. The first way repetition is used is through literal repetition, repeating the phrase "my darling" and ending both of the final lines with the word "sea". The second form of repetition that creates this effect is the repetition of an idea. A sepulchre is an area where a person is buried, and so is a tomb, so the final two lines have the same meaning. 

The change in end rhyme in from the first two lines to the last two lines is also significant, because it changes the focus of the poem from mourning the person who has been laid to rest, to the place in which she has been laid to rest.

alexira [117]

Answer:

When Charlie became more intelligent in a rapid way, He was moving up the level of intelligence in a fast pace and this worried Miss Kinnian because she did not want a regression and also the fact that she may not be able to keep up with him since Charlie now functions at a much higher level than she is.

Explanation:

In "<em>Flowers for Algernon</em>" by Daniel keyes, Miss Kinnian was Charlie's teacher at a school for those challenged mentally, she recommended Charlie who is challenged mentally to a team of scientist to undergo an experimental surgery to boost intelligence, she recommended him for the surgery because of Charlie's eagerness to learn.

After the surgery has been conducted, and with further help from Kinnian, he gradually improved on his grammar and spellings. He also started developing feelings for miss kinnian and was attracted to her. but because his intelligence was moving up rapidly, Kinnian did not want a reversal and also worried that she may not keep up with Charlie as his intelligence grows much higher than hers, This made her worry about the future of their relationship.
