The following excerpt from Carl Sandburg's 'How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat' uses repetition and alliteration:

1. A big wind blew up and blew and blew till all the tails of the animals blew off.

Explanation: The term 'alliteration' refers to the same sound or alphabet or letter repeating itself in close succession within a sentence. In other words, when the same consonant sounds occur closely one after the other in different words of a sentence, it is known as alliteration.

Carl Sandburg is well known to use several literary techniques and technical devices to enhance the structure of his stories. Alliteration and repetition are some of them, in addition to onomatopoeia (forming a word with the sound associated with it, e.g. sizzle), and certain playful non-existent/unusual words (e.g. scritch scratch).

These techniques lend a sort of playfulness to the narrative, making it more engaging to the readers.

1. anxious confusion

2. that shared in the general awe and terror

When looking at the options with the context clues, we can eliminate any definitions that have a positive connotation. None of the context clues indicate that consternation would be something that is good. While the first option shows a negative connotation for consternation it is not specific enough to pinpoint a meaning for the word. The context clue "general awe and terror" indicates that there is confusion.

Based on the system of elimination, I would choose - the first is a fantasy but the second is reality (could really happen).
In the first sentence, the poet wishes that the trees are bent due to a boy playing there and swinging on the branches. But the second sentence shows a possible reality, where the cold weather is the one that destroys the birches.

Which statement about The Tempest best illustrates the effects of character depiction on a production's tone?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

A. If Ariel were portrayed as a best, the feel of the production would be much more menacing.

Explanation:

Character depiction refers to the way in which a stage director decides to present a particular character in a play. In this case, Ariel is usually presented as a kind figure. While he is intelligent, he is also obedient and submissive, and not menacing in any way. However, if a production were to present him as a beast, then the play would adopt a much more menacing tone.
