Answer:

personification

Explanation:

Personification is one of the types of figurative language. It is used when an innate object or non-human object is treated as a human being. In the given excerpt from the poem “The First Snowfall” written by James Russell Lowell, the figurative language used is personification. The  "pine and fir and hemlock" are said to wear 'ermine'. These are the names of the trees who are personified as human beings. Hence, this is an example of personification.

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: B)Feldman’s payment system was largely successful.

Explanation:

Feldman was earning much more than he did as a research analyst which means that he was earning a lot of money from this business which further means that his payment system was largely successful.

This means that people are mostly honest because his payment system was based on honesty in that he simply left the cash basket there and people could either have not paid or could have taken money from the basket but they didn't(at least not significantly) which could only happen if people were honest.

Answer:

A - Astronauts observe what happens on Earth.

Explanation:

This statement is the least helpful to create a summary. The passage is rich with detail of WHAT can be observed, recorded, and reported. This option is too vague.
