through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men and bargaining women, amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of pigs' cheeks, the nasal chanting of street-singers, who sang a come-all-you about O'Donovan Rossa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land. A. Personification B.Simile C. Metaphor D. Imagery

Answer:

D. Imagery

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses a vivid and descriptive language that appeals to any of our senses, be it sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch. This excerpt uses this device as its language is descriptive enough to evoke pictures or ideas in our minds that appeal to our senses of sight (As in the line "We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men") and hearing (As in "amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys" and "the nasal chanting of street-singers").

How can you tell if something is a passion for you?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

I would say either the first or last option! I'll explain-

Explanation:

The first option states that you spend over 12 hours per week on it. Spending a lot of time on something can be a good thing! You may really enjoy doing whatever it is you are doing, so you send more time on it.

The last option states that you feel more energized when you are finished, meaning that you could also like doing what you are doing then. It might make you happy. Or more energized!
