Answer:

A.Pause briefly after colons, semicolons, and periods.

C.Read capitalized words in a more pronounced manner.

Explanation:

The function of punctuation such as colons, semicolons, and periods in a text is to mark when a brief pause should be taken when reading, as they indicate the limits and relations of sentences and their parts, and this is also true for poetry.

Likewise, when a poet capitalizes all the letters in a word, he or she does it to put emphasis in an idea, so that word should be read in a more pronounced manner.

Look at the sentences again. Match the rules with the sentences.

Answer:

I believe the answers are:

I've applied to three universities----> It deserves how many times it happened

I've seen this film before----> It happened at an unspecified time in the past

Explanation:

The word 'three' is explaining to us that she/he had applied many times.

'Seen before' tells us that it happened in the past but it does not give us a specific time, day or date in the sentence.

Answer:

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as".

Explanation:

Similes and metaphors are two ways comparisons are made. The only difference is that similes use "like" and "as" to compare while metaphors do not use the two comparison words.

Hyperbole is when the description is given using too much emphasis, way beyond what it really is. The description is done with exaggeration.

Personification is when non-living ideas or things are given human attributes, characteristics, etc.

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.
