Based on the sentence, i think the answer is B personification

Personification is making non living objects look as if they're a living object. You can see it on the phrase "America Singing"

B) personification


Personification is when human characteristics/attributes are given to inanimate objects for the purpose of helping readers gain a clear understanding of what the writer is attempting to communicate. Personification gives readers a basis of comparison. Because everyone is human, personification is almost guaranteed to paint a clearer picture of something for which otherwise readers may have no experience. Thus, when the author writes “I hear America singing,” the connection is being made between what otherwise may not be known to that of singing—something about which everybody knows.

6. What might be the author's purpose for writing in first-person point of view?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

I believe your answer would be so the character can directly share his or her thoughts with the reader.

Explanation:

A is the only option that makes sense because choice B would be Third-Person omniscient, while C would most likely be either Third-Person omniscient or limited. Either way, First-Person shares the narrator's point of view, so the reader cannot know more than the character does.

<em>♥A.W.E.</em><u><em>S.W.A.N.</em></u><em>♥</em>

Holmes and watson can be seen as the epitome of the crime-fighting duo. discuss the way in which their personalities and skills
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Sherlock Holmes is extremely skilled in logic, deduction, and reason. John Watson is skilled in medical knowledge. Watson gives Holmes the insight of a doctor and Holmes is able to solve puzzles better than Watson is. Watson also provides Holmes a person to explain his theories to, which helps Holmes recognize holes in his theories. As far as I can tell, there are no characteristics that they are lacking that would help them in detective work.
