Answer:
<em>Option B. Burns' use of hyperbole contribute to the meaning of the poem as it illustrates the extent of his love for the subject of the poem.</em>
Explanation:
"A Red, Red Rose" is a 1794 song written by author Robert Burns. As seen in the quote from the song provided in the question, the author utilizes the literary device of hyperbole which is the use of exaggeration as figure of speech. Burns' use of hyperbole emphasizes the strong feelings that the narrator has toward his loved one, as it creates a strong impression of how he is feeling toward her.
The correct answer is After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor.
Explanation:
A dangling modifier is a term used for an ambiguous grammatical construction in which one word might be incorrectly linked to a modifier (a word that modify a noun). In the example given, in the case given the relationship between nouns and verbs is not clear as it is not clear whether it was the cat who took a hot shower and then lapped up the water or there is another subject involved. However, in the sentence "After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor" each of the actions in the sentence (took a shower and lapped up) are linked to a subject in a clear way so there is no ambiguity in which subject carried out each action and thus the dangling modifier disappears.
