Answer:

A: Allusion

Explanation:

 The figurative language used in this passage from "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is <em>Allusion </em>, which is the reference made by the authors to make you think of a particular thing or person, usually related to their own work.  It is just a passing or brief comment without describing details, but the writer expects the reader to be somehow familiar with it. In this case, there are several Bible passages that talk about people being called to carry  God's message.

Allusion.

Both examples come from the Bible. The first comes from the Old Testament and the second from the New. You have to be a little knowledgeable of the Bible to catch on to either one of them (or be good with Google).

jek_recluse [69]
I would say maybe a narrative poem. If you want to capture the moment of when you saw a shooting star, then maybe you should tell it like a story but poem form.

What are some examples of the described signs of bias?
qaws [65]

<u>Answer:</u> If you're biased toward something, then you lean favorably toward it; you tend to think positively of it. Meanwhile, if you're biased against something, then you lean negatively against it; you tend to think poorly of it.

Explanation:

is a tendency to lean in a certain direction, either in favor of or against a particular thing. To be truly biased means to lack a neutral viewpoint on a particular topic. Somewhere along the line, bias took on a negative connotation. We tend to think it's a bad thing but that's not always true.

5. Pop music has often been seen as youth music. Why do you think pop music appeals to younger individuals? How has the industry
likoan [24]
Pop music is usually full of lyrics that appeal to young people that haven't had the chance to experience the world much, so the obscenities such as sex and money usually appeal to them. They are also usually fast paced and great for dancing which is not something that older audiences can do as much as the young ones. Many pop songs also emphasize youth as the greatest virtue, so it's not really adequate for an 80 year old person to behave like a 16 year old and sing how great it is to be young.
