The correct answer should be she uses themes such as “first world war” and “thanksgiving day.”
This helps build the setting by pointing out to the time period that is being discussed, and then even further zooming in by showing it around thanksgiving.
Answer:
Two devices that are being used in the lines are:
C. repetition
D. rhyme/rhythm
Explanation:
Repetition is a literary device consisting of repeating the same word or phrase for emphasis or clarity. Repetition can appear in both prose and poetry, and it can also be a rhetorical device. In the lines we are analyzing here, the phrase "I'm growing" is repeated at the beginning of each line:
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;
I'm growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my sighs;
Rhyme is a correspondence of sounds between different words. In the lines above, we have a rhyme scheme of ABAB, that is, "staff" rhymes with "laugh" - lines 1 and 3 -, and "eyes" rhymes with "sighs" - lines 2 and 4.
As for rhythm, I believe we have an iambic tetrameter - a four time repetition of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Take a look below:
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
"Bad sewing always made me fidgety."
or
"Look at the sewing! All the rest of it has been so nice and even. And look at this! It's all over the place!"
Because a is the first letter in the alphabet
