<span>1. "There he stood, like a great iceberg blocking my path" is a SIMILE because it uses the word "like" to compare a man to an iceberg.

2. "There he stood, a great iceberg blocking my path" is a METAPHOR because it says that he IS an iceberg. 

3. "Throughout my life, my brother has always been like that annoying itch beside the shoulder blade, the one you can never quite reach" is a SIMILE because it compares the brother to an annoying itch. 

4. "Let us go then, you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky, like a patient etherized upon a table" is a SIMILE because it uses the word "like" to compare the spreading of the evening upon the sky to a patient falling asleep (from anesthetic) on a table, their body slowly spreading out as they go limp. 
</span>
5. "We thought we were safe and warm, but a tree branch crashed through the roof" contains an the word "crashed" which is an ONOMATOPOEIA because it represents that song that the tree branch made.

6. "Death stands above me, whispering low I know not what into my ear" is a personification of death and it is also a metaphor for one who is near death, but, primarily, it is a use of IMAGERY to create an image in the mind of the reader.<span>

Read the statement below. Then decide whether you agree or disagree with the statement. Be prepared to support your opinion with
Dimas [21]

I agree with the statement because in the story, when Major Kovalyov loses his nose, the nose achieves a higher rank that him - State Councillor. Considering Kovalyov is an ambitious official, he feels ashamed due to the fact that the nose has climbed higher in rank, and for his physical appearance. Without a nose, he cannot move up in hierarchy or join in marriage favorably.

tamaranim1 [39]
I am not sure what the passage you are referring to is, but anaphora means to use a word repetitively in order to accomplish some goal. Usually, this goal is to add emphasis to a certain point or to add artistic effect. They may also inspire certain emotions, such as passion, affection, or fear. Hope this helps.
