Answer:
She floated around the room so easily she
could be Phileas Fogg - Allusion
She floated around the room like a balloon - Simile
She floated around the room, moving in no
specific direction - Metaphor.
Explanation:
A similar is used when comparing something to another. A sentence bearing a simile is identified by the presence of "like" or "as"
This is shown in the answer above where a lady's movement was compared to a balloon floating.
A metaphor is also used in comparison but this time directly. The quality given to the subject may not necessarily be true.
In the example above, the lady was described as floating "floated around the room..." Also notice that people do not necessarily float but in this case her movement was directly described as floating.
Allusion is used to make reference to objects, persons, places or even events.
In the example above, the ladies movement was not only described as floating but Phileas Fogg was used in reference to it.
Answer:
"Here's a quick and simple definition: Formal verse is the name given to rhymed poetry that uses a strict meter (a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables). ... Formal verse is distinct from blank verse (poetry with meter but no rhyme) and free verse (poetry without meter or rhyme)."
By this, the answer it false. Too add, the easier form of poetry is Acrostic.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read this excerpt from james baldwin's "notes of a native son":the day of my father's funeral had also been my nineteenth birthday. as we drove him to the graveyard, the spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all around us. it seemed to me that god himself had devised, to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally dissonant of codas. and it seemed to me, too, that the violence which rose all about us as my father left the world had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest son.which sentence best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose?
a.it ties baldwin's father's funeral to his birthday and shows that the author is angry that his father died on that day. b.it compares a term signifying the end of a musical piece with his father's death to illustrate the finality of death. c.it contrasts the somber mood of a funeral procession with the happy memories baldwin has about his father. d.it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
Answer:
d. it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
Explanation:
The text above was taken from the autobiography of a black author, who wanted to show the violence, intolerance and injustices that racism caused in a society. He presents these themes well in the excerpt shown above, where the structure allows the author to interweave elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hate is destructive and how it shook his family and transformed a moment of celebration into a moment of mourning.
For power and to pay off debts. Hope this helps! :)
