Answer:

B) Personification

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech that takes place when a non-human element such as an idea, abstract quality, an element of nature, animal, emotion, event, country or inanimate object is given human characteristics like pondering, talking, writing, and singing. The line uses this figure of speech because "America", the nation, can not literally sing; here, the author is "personifying" this non-human element.

Which is the strongest revision of the following sentence?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A) Students will be allowed to eat lunch on the hill outside of the cafeteria if they keep quiet, avoid entering other buildings, and clean up their trash afterward.

Explanation:

The first part of the answer (if they keep quiet) is alluded to by the first part in the text <em>(can not be noisy)</em>. This phrase does not require a reduction in the level of noise, but a total absence of it.

The second part of the answer (avoid entering other buildings) is alluded to by the third part of the sentence<em> (and not enter other buildings during lunch)</em>. The two phrases change just in word order and selection. The resemblance is clear.

The third part of the answer (clean up their trash afterward) is alluded to by the second part of the sentence <em>(have all their trash picked up)</em>. The two sentences are, again, the same meaning in different word choices.

Spell check is just trying to check your spelling. Autocorrect is just fixing your entire word
