Answer:
The poetic device being used in the excerpt is:
A. rhyme
Explanation:
We can define rhyme as the repetition of ending sounds in words, especially words that are at the end of poetry lines. Let's use the first lines of the excerpt as an example:
Fairy king, attend and mark:
I do hear the morning lark.
The words "mark" and "lark" sound quite similar, right? That is because they have the same final sounds /ark/, the only difference between them being the first consonant sound of each /m/ and /l/. This is an example of rhyme.
The same happens in the other lines, with the pairs "soon" and "moon", "flight" and "night", and "found" and "ground".
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read The Lady Or The Tiger?, by Frank Stockton
How did the king keep from feeling guilty about this form of justice? *
a. He did not watch the festivities.
b. He made his daughter in charge of signaling judgement
c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.
d. He was barbaric and just did not feel guilty.
Answer: c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.
Explanation:
The arena of the king was meant as a device of poetic justice, where a crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, depending on what was thought to be an impartial test. Given the chance to choose one out of two doors, the criminal would face either the punishment of a tiger´s attack or the reward of a woman to get married to. Whether they would be punished or rewarded was established based on their own choice, making the King feel like has no responsibility for the result.

Answer:
Victory
Explanation:
The poem “Success is counted sweetest” by Emily Dickinson reflects the idea that the true victory in life comes from loss and defeat. Dickinson speaks of this message through the depiction of the battlefield.
The Purple Host is the army who has conquested the other side – they have succeeded in victory in the battle. Yet, <u>Dickinson is sure that the Purple Host and those under its flag can actually appreciate and enjoy the victory full as the ones who nearly have won the battle</u><u>. Only defeat and the nearness of triumph that slipped away bring the full significance of the success.</u>
<u>Therefore, even if the Purple Host has achieved the wanted victory, Dickinson does not think they have achieved success. </u>
The answer is: touch.
The poem "My Father's Song" uses verbs and descriptions that appeal to the sense of touch, suggesting the idea of getting close to an object and coming into contact with it. For example:
- scooped
- into the palm of his hand
- touch
- took them
- put them
- sand moist clod
- softness
- cool and warm sand
