Answer:

Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by Ellery Queen (a pseudonym).

The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.

As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." This causes uncertainty on the reader because it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not.

Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is "anticipating to be let down." This means that she, somehow, figured out that Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left (4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact).

So fierce you whirr and pound you drums—so shrill you bugles blow. What literary device does the poet use in the line in bold? A

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the B) Imagery.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this excerpt from Walt Whitman's poem "Beat! Beat! Drums!," the poet seems to be exhorting the drums and bugles to play as loudly and fiercely as they can, and one can almost visualize them and hear them. This use of vivid language is called imagery, and is meant to appeal to our senses and emotions. Whitman wrote this poem as a call to arms, hence the use of this figurative and expressive language.
