How does hyperbole affect the meaning of this sentence from The Count of Monte Cristo? "Seventeen months' captivity to a sailor

accustomed to the boundless ocean, is a worse punishment than human crime ever merited." It justifies a death sentence as preferable to imprisonment. It describes how brutal imprisonment is to someone who has enjoyed total freedom. It explains why imprisonment should never be applied to military men. It suggests that no criminal act, however dire, deserves punishment

Answer:

It describes how brutal imprisonment is to someone who has enjoyed total freedom.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech, classified as a figure of thought, which consists in exaggerating an idea with expressive purpose. It is an intentional exaggeration in expression.

In this excerpt, the hyperbole is represented in the exaggeration of the expression "accustomed to the ocean without limits" where the author refers to someone who was accustomed to freedom and now is in captivity. The hyperbole was used in the text to describe how imprisonment is brutal for someone who has enjoyed full freedom

Read this passage from Beowulf.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

b. Suspense.

Explanation:

The lines are from the epic "Beowulf" which tells of the heroic deeds of the protagonist and hero Beowulf.

Taken from Chapter 23, the lines refer to when the Geats saw the water filled with blood. They did not know that their leader had vanquished and beheaded Grendel and his mother. Rather, they were of the opinion that Beowulf had been killed by the monsters. This is a theme of suspense for the soldiers who are waiting for their leader. They were sure that their master / leader had been killed. Even Hrothgar had turned his boat and sailed, while the Geats waited expectantly and patiently, hoping for Beowulf to return.

What's the difference between inferring and predicting
DiKsa [7]
Inferring is when a person concludes information by reasoning instead of actual said facts. When a person predicts something, he/she is trying to foretell what is going to happen in the future.
