Read the passage. excerpt from Macbeth by William Shakespeare

Duncan: Dismay'd not this
Our captains, Macbeth and Banquo?

Sergeant: Yes;
As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion.
If I say sooth, I must report they were
As cannons overcharged with double cracks, so they
Doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe:
Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds,
Or memorise another Golgotha,
I cannot tell.
But I am faint, my gashes cry for help.

Duncan: So well thy words become thee as thy wounds;
They smack of honour both. Go get him surgeons.

How does Shakespeare's use of figurative language in this excerpt affect the play?

A. Duncan's use of a metaphor when he refers to getting the Sergeant "surgeons" demonstrates that he is a king who does not want to be involved in the messy consequences of warfare.

B. Duncan's use of imagery when he describes how the Sergeant's injuries "smack of honour" conveys the idea that he values the Sergeant more than he appreciates Macbeth or Banquo.

C. The Sergeant's use of personification when he states that his "gashes cry for help" reinforces the idea that the battle he witnessed was brutally violent and dangerous.

D. The Sergeant's use of a simile when he compares Macbeth and Banquo to "cannons overcharged with double cracks" stresses the fact that they are flawed men

<span>C. The Sergeant's use of personification when he states that his "gashes cry for help" reinforces the idea that the battle he witnessed was brutally violent and dangerous. 

Personifying his wounds as things that can actually 'cry' on their own shows how hurt he really is and how dangerous the battle around him must have been.</span>

Read this excerpt from "A Visit from the Goon Squad."
Sedbober [7]

His confidence is transformed by the crowd’s response.

Scotty is described as being a "quavering husk...just moments before." This shows his lack of confidence and anxiety about being on stage. Once the crowd's enthusiasm and excitement for his performance reached him, it is described as "lifting him off his stool...unleashing something strong, charismatic, and fierce." This change in his demeanor shows his confidence grow in response the crowd.
