Answer:
The figurative language used in the stanza is: alliteration.
Explanation:
Alliteration is a literary device that repeats consonant sounds at the beginning of words that are close to each other in a structure. A simple example would be a well-known tongue twister: She sells seashells by the seashore (the /s/ sound is repeated).
In the stanza we are analyzing here, alliteration takes place when the author repeats the sound represented by the letter "h":
<em>In the silence </em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>h</em><em>as </em><em>h</em><em>eard</em>
We have three words in a row beginning with the same consonant sound. Thus, we have an alliteration.
The stanza is an excerpt from the poem "The D.um.b Soldier," by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Hey there!
Answer:
Compound
Explanation:
It contains a main clause (My family left the fair at 8:00) a conjunction(so) and another main clause (we missed the fireworks display).So it's a compound sentence.
-It can't be a <em>simple</em><em> </em><em>sentence</em><em> </em>because it has a subordinate clause.
-It can't be a <em>compound Complex </em><em>sentence</em><em> </em>because it only has 1 main clause and not 2.
-It can't be a complex sentence since it doesn't have a subordinate clause.
Definitions:
A <em>simple sentence</em> has 1 main clause.e.g. The boys fought.
A <em>compound sentence</em> has two main clause E.g. Peter went to the mall and he returned late.
A <em>compound conplex</em> has 2 or more main clauses and 1 or more subordinate clause.E.g. Jude travelled and she brought her cousin to live with her.
A <em>complex sentence</em> has a main clause and a subordinate clause.E.g. The boy bumped into the table and he fell onto the floor.
Note:
A <em>main clause</em> is a group of words that can stand on its own whilst a subordinate clause can't as it doesn't represent a complete idea.
