Answer:

It is an adverb phrase.

Explanation:

Adverb:

It modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb or group of words. In this example adverb down is modifying verb fell.

Preposition:

Typical definition of preposition in most of the dictionaries/online resources include that a preposition is used before non, noun phrase, pronoun or -ing form of verb, And they usually show a relationship between two nearby words.

In this example, there are no nearby two words between which down has to show relationship. Let's complete this sentence, for instance, the portrait fell down <em>on</em> the table, or the portrait fell down <em>in</em> the tub. We have to use a preposition <em>on</em> or <em>in</em> to show portrait's relation with table or tub. This shows, since there is no word to show portrait's relation, so no preposition is used.

I've found this question online. The options are:

A. Dazed, clutching my brow

B. Groaning, "Oh my shin, oh my shin,"

C. everybody peeled away from me

D. All of us writhing on the ground

Answer:

The phrase from the excerpt that allows reader to hear what is happening in the poem is:

B. Groaning, "Oh my shin, oh my shin,"

Explanation:

It is common for writers to resource to imagery.<u> Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing) to involve readers and help them to visualize and feel what is being described. To do so, word choice is crucial.</u> It is the writer's words that will appeal to a certain sense, allowing readers to access it as if they were a part of the scene, as if they too can see, hear, or smell whatever it is that is being described.<u> In the poem we are analyzing here, the word that allows readers to hear is "groaning". To groan means to make an inarticulate sound when in pain or despair. When readers see this word, they immediately associate it with groaning sounds they have heard before, thus being able to hear the character groan in their minds. For that reason, the correct option for this question is B. Groaning, "Oh my shin, oh my shin."</u>

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Emily Dickinson's writing style is most certainly unique. She used extensive dashes, dots, and unconventional capitalization, in addition to vivid imagery and idiosyncratic vocabulary. Instead of using pentameter, she was more inclined to use trimester, tetrameter, and even dimeter at times.
