The statement that best explains Pope’s literary techniques is ''When describing wild or forceful events, such as waves crashing on a beach, he uses language that creates an aggravated or energetic mood''.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alexander Pope was an immensely renowned poet famous for his mock epics. The given excerpt is from one of his best work. Pope’s literary techniques contained rich use of metaphors, allusions and references to nature.

As we see the use of phrases like “loud surges” and “lash the sounding shores”, “torrent roar” we are immediately aware of a very active fiery and zealous attitude that signifies an aggravated mood. Therefore option A is the right answer.

How does the narrative depicted in “The Epic of Gilgamesh" best fit the definition of an epic?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

B. It is told in a serious manner using elevated language.

Explanation:

Considered to be the earliest surviving great work of literature,<em> The Epic of Gilgamesh</em> is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia, written around 1800 BC. The protagonist is Gilgamesh, the historical king of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk.

An epic poem is a lengthy narrative poem that celebrates the accomplishments of a legendary or traditional hero, who represents a culture's heroic ideal. The setting of an epic is large, sometimes worldwide or even larger (for example, the plot of <em>Paradise Lost</em> takes place on earth, heaven, and hell). Superhuman elements are common, and gods and other supernatural beings take interest or participate in the adventures of the hero. Epic poems are always written in elevated style. <em>The Epic of Gilgamesh</em> fits all the characteristics of this literary genre.

Based on this, we can see that statement B is the correct one. Statements C and D are not characteristics of epics. Epics do not have to originate in ancient civilizations. For example, <em>Paradise Lost</em> is an epic written in the 17th century by English poet John Milton.

What are some examples of indirect characterization from Macbeth
Soloha48 [4]
"<span>Despite what many think of him by the play's conclusion, Macbeth's brave and noble reputation (literally) precedes him in Shakespeare's drama. Before we even come face-to-face with Macbeth, a sergeant returns from a recent battle to directly characterize him: 'For brave Macbeth -well he deserves that name - / Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, / Which smoked with bloody execution, / Like valour's minion carved out his passage."</span>
