However, here is what I think:
<span>1. I wrote an account of my voyage across the sea on the Mayflower. - A. William Bradford (he did write about the Mayflower)
2. </span><span>My persuasive writing opposed reconciliation with Great Britain. - E. Thomas Paine (he was against peace with England)
3. </span><span>My writing style includes rhyming couplets. - C. Anne Bradstreet (her poems are written in stanzas of two lines which rhyme)
4. </span><span>In 1776, when others were hesitant, I drafted the grievances of the Colonies. - F. Thomas Jefferson (Declaration of Independence)
5. </span><span>My account of the Middle Passage created a new genre of narratives. - D. Olaudah Equiano
There is no option for Captain John Smith.</span>
<span><span>Sight-
Her raven black hair, still dripping after the shower, left a cascade of water spots trickling down the back of her white t-shirt.</span><span>SoundWe woke up sluggish, tired from last night's ruckus. Our new puppy restlessly wandered around the house, his nails clicking over the wood floor like tap-dancing beetles, and his incessant, sharp-pitched whining filled all the corners of the house.
</span><span>Taste-
Ugh, I hate when the sour taste of sweat drips into my mouth during practice.
</span><span>Touch-
Her sweater was so soft, reminding me of a velvety smooth bunny or a wispy cotton ball. I was surprised it wasn't cashmere.
</span><span>Smell-
<span>I made sure to chew gum before my interview. I love the smell of minty breath; that sweet, icily refreshing scent is always sure to calm me down and help me focus.</span></span></span>
Answer:
The stars, and the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.
Explanation:
The literary device in which the same conjunction is repeated multiple times is called the polysyndeton. The conjunction most often used like this is <em>and.</em>
This is an unconventional use of conjunctions. It would be more natural to write the given sentence like this:
- <em>The stars, the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.</em>
Since this use is not conventional, there are no strict rules regarding punctuation. In literature, there are versions with and without the commas before the conjunctions. If you need to put the commas somewhere, you'd put one before each conjunction. The given sentence would look like this:
- <em>The stars, and the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.</em>
