Answer:
Implied metaphor.
<em>"How they battered down
</em>
<em>Doors
</em>
<em>And ironed
</em>
<em>Starched white
</em>
<em>Shirts
</em>
<em>How they led
</em>
<em>Armies

</em>
<em>Across mined

<em>Ditches"</em>
Explanation:
Alice Walker's poem "Women" is a poem about women in general and how they fight for their children's right to education. The poem is written in short, at times, monosyllable lines, where the speaker talks of mothers and their hard work to get an education for their children.
Figurative languages are the elements of writing that writers employ in their writing to give more 'color' and 'body' to their work. And in this poem, Alice Walker uses an implied metaphor. This element can be seen in the lines
<em>How they battered down
</em>
<em>Doors
</em>
<em>And ironed
</em>
<em>Starched white
</em>
<em>Shirts
</em>
<em>How they led
</em>
<em>Armies
</em>
<em>Headragged generals
</em>
<em>Across mined
</em>
<em>Fields
</em>
<em>Bo oby-trapped
</em>
<em>Ditches</em>
Here, the speaker makes a comparison between the women/ mothers and several personalities like army generals, or army commanders, and other daily workers. These efforts by the mothers are for their children to <em>"discover books, desks, a place"</em> to get an education which they themselves weren't able to access.
Thus, the figurative language used in this poem is an implied metaphor.
Answer:
I believe the answer is C. It details the factors that are usually not included when thinking through the mind game.
Explanation:
This is because, the mind game is the idea that a person could go straight through the earth. Paragraph 6 further develops this idea by stating just how unrealistic the mind game is. Going straight through the earth is unjustifiable by any source other than the unrealistic assumptions of scientists. The mind game doesn't consider the aspects of tunneling straight through the earth such as, the rotation of earth, density of the different layers, and the friction from wind once this hypothetical tunnel is finished.
Other than that A and D don't make any sense to me as the answer. B, although a possible answer, I don't think is right because paragraph 6 is playing into the mind game, not saying it is pointless. Paragraph 6 adds more details that aren't usually considered or listed.
(I have not read through the book/article that addresses all of these matters, nor have I taken a class specifically for the writing containing these paragraphs. But, with the context given I believe this is the answer.)
Answer: sound pattern
Explanation:
The word means blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two other words. Like if you blend breakfast and lunch, you get brunch.
Shakespeare in his play “Macbeth” has worked on the issue of evil that any person irrespective of gender, class or position may undergo through. It’s under the influence of that evil that any virtuous or kind person too starts to conspire and then become a wicked person. The introducing scene of the play itself reflects the presence of ‘evilness’ throughout the journey of the life of Macbeth. The three Witches who told the future of Macbeth while his return from the war attracted him to at least think once about attaining the throne by any means. Soon after meeting his wife, Lady Macbeth, who is considered as the fourth witch, Macbeth’s inclination towards the attainment of the throne saw its progress. At times he wanted to step back from committing the murder but the announcement of the three withes and the planning of his wife made him move forward. Macbeth’s evilness saw its rise when it was evoked by these circumstances. The nature of evil both in the play and in real life have the same influence over people. They possess the power to manipulate and influence any person as per them.
