Answer:

To describe the sea, the author uses personification.

Explanation:

There is undoubtedly some imagery in the excerpt we are analyzing here, since it is describing the place where the chateau stood. The question, however, is asking us which figurative language is used to describe the sea. The only possible option, in this case, is personification.

Personification happens when an author gives living qualities to non-living things. The sea does not lick, it does not have lips. Animals do, humans do, but not the ocean. Nonetheless, those are the words the author chooses to describe the evening tide: "where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows."

What detail lets the viewer know that Brueghel doesn’t believe Icarus’ fate has changed the world?
Ivan

Answer:

The larger images show people unconcerned and continuing with daily life.

Explanation:

In "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" the viewer can see why Brueghel does not believe that Icarus' destiny has changed the world, or that it has been at least relevant to someone. This is because when we observe the painting, we will see several people who did not even realize what happened to Ícarus, did not see the fall or even his death, which shows that this event was completely irrelevant for them and that is why they remain their daily lives as if nothing had happened.
