The pharse "sword-feast" is a kenning. Option C is correct.

A kenning is a type of circumlocution, in the form of a compound that utilizes figurative language instead of a more concrete single-word noun.

Kenning generally consists  of two words, and are often hyphenated.

In other words, a kenning is a concise compound or figurative phrase which replaces a common noun.

what is your impression of Macbeth and Lady macbeth? Cite passages from act 1 to support your description
Makovka662 [10]

Macbeth, General of war of King Duncan from Scotland, was very much appreciated in the court by his skills in the combats:

"SCENE II. A camp near Forres.

Alarum within. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, LENNOX, with Attendants, meeting a bleeding Sergeant

DUNCAN

What bloody man is that? He can report,

As seemeth by his plight, of the revolt

The newest state.

MALCOLM

This is the sergeant

Who like a good and hardy soldier fought

'Gainst my captivity. Hail, brave friend!

Say to the king the knowledge of the broil

As thou didst leave it."

One day, back from a victorious battle, accompanied by his friend Banquo, he is surprised by three witches with the next prophecies: Macbeth would be Thane of Cawdor and king of Scotland, and the descendants of Banquo would inherit the crown. The witches vanish on air, leaving the two characters thinking about the foresight of the supernatural power.

Surprisingly, a messenger of the king informs him about his nomination as Cawdor's Thane, making true so, one of the prophecies of the witches. In view of that, Macbeth glimpses the very position of reign, which dominates his soul and brings his perdition.

So, seized by a deep and furious sense of ambition and encouraged by Lady Macbeth, wife ruled by the same vile values, Macbeth kills the king Duncan, in search of the possession of the crown:


SCENE V. Inverness. Macbeth's castle.

Enter LADY MACBETH, reading a letter

(...)

MACBETH

My dearest love,

Duncan comes here to-night.

LADY MACBETH

And when goes hence?

MACBETH

To-morrow, as he purposes.LADY MACBETH

O, never

Shall sun that morrow see!

Your face, my thane, is as a book where men

May read strange matters. To beguile the time,

Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,

Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,

But be the serpent under't. He that's coming

Must be provided for: and you shall put

This night's great business into my dispatch;

Which shall to all our nights and days to come

Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom.

Which belief does Hughes express that Whitman does not?
eduard
Assuming this is in regard to "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman, and "I, Too", by Langston Hughes. 

The main point that Hughes makes in "I too (Sing, America)" is that the experience of many marginalized groups are not acknowledged in the national narrative. He directs this at Whitman's poem, pointing the many groups he does not mention singing. Hughes makes the point that American needs to celebrate all its people, and not just the ones who had a voice at the time. 

Best answer is D) <span>America needs to celebrate its people.
