Answer:

Personification is used to show the power of the storm.

Explanation:  

Personification and hyperbole are two types of figure of speech. The first one takes place when non-human objects like animals, elements of nature, emotions or things, are given human attributes, and hyperbole takes place when we use exaggerated words or phrases that are obviously false in order to emphasize or to add humor.

In the excerpt, the speaker is not talking in an exaggerated manner or using words that are obviously false because a storm can indeed continue for hours, thunders can be deafening, lightning can be strong...

However, the speaker does use personification because it describes lightning as something that takes the night from completely black to light as if lightning had the conscious will of holding with its hands something. Furthermore, the speaker uses personification to show the power of the storm: It was so mighty and powerful that it continued for hours, and had mighty thunders and lightnings.

Describe the amount of the time needed for ecosystem recovery
levacccp [35]
It depends on the ecosystem being described. 
Most of the recovery time as studies suggest indicate a 2-10 years minimum in period. However, due to the ongoing human activity between the environment and the utilization of resources it seems that the environment itself is gradually recovering and exponentially degrading. 

An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.  <span> </span>

Read the following example. What is the effect of the repetition in these lines? And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each p
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The effect of repetition on these lines is to intensify the meaning of the sentence.

Explanation:

Repetition is a picture of language that is closely related to the syntactic construction of the text. For this reason, it is called a syntax picture. This language picture occurs by repeating terms at the beginning of sentences. It is a stylistic resource widely used by writers in the construction of verses in order to intensify an expression described in the sentence. An example of this can be seen in the excerpt shown in the question, where the lines "Some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;" intensify meaning, making the reader feel stronger during reading.
