The correct answer is metaphor.
A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech where two or more things are symbolically compared, without using the words such as like or as (because that would be a simile). This whole poem is symbolical/metaphorical - it talks about the passage of time and how everything is transient and fleeting.

It's metaphor, since "Her early leaf's a flower" saying one thing is another without using the word 'like'. A simile does a similar thing, but it does use the word 'like'. An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like a sound, and personification is giving a nonhuman thing human attributes.

Answer: Barbara Bush focused much of her energy on a cause near to her heart: literacy.

Explanation: In the first two options, the colon is being misused because it is fragmenting essential elements of a same clause (direct object "much of her energy" from complement "on a cause..." / prepositional phrase "on a cause" from prepositional phrase "near to her heart" modifying it.) In the third option, the comma should not be used to introduce the one-item list "literacy."

Who is Trimalchio? in chapter 7 of the great Gatsby

lakkis [162]

Answer: Trimalchio is a character that appears in <em>Satyricon</em> by Petronius (first century AD), and is also mentioned in <em>the Great Gatsby</em> (the beginning of <em>Chapter 7</em>).

Explanation:

Trimalchio and Gatsby have a lot in common. They were both poor (Trimalchio being a freed slave), and as they manage to acquire certain wealth, they both falsely pretend that they actually belong to the rich world. Trimalchio does so by dressing up, while Gatsby tries to impress people around him by throwing parties. In <em>Chapter 7</em>, the writer indicates that "Gatsby's career as Trimalchio was over", which means that Gatsby is no longer throwing parties and trying to prove his worth to those around him.
