Identify the figurative language used in these stanzas of Amy Lowell’s “in excelsis “

English
1 answer:
sergij07 [2.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The first example of figurative language is seen in the first line. This line is an example of a simile because it is comparing being frozen and the clouds using the word "as". This line conveys meaning by directly comparing two things which makes it easier to understand its meaning. The line, "I leap beyond the winds" is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration. This makes it more dramatic and have a stronger meaning. Another simile is found in the line, "for my throat is keen as a sword". Once again it is comparing two things using the word "as" and in the case it is the narrators throat and a sword.

Ow can the two independent clauses below be combined to form a correct complete sentence? Check all that apply. Jonas has homewo
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct options are:

A) Jonas has homework. It isn't finished. and

D) Jonas has homework, it isn't finished.

Explanation:

In all the correct instance, the sentence is constructed such that there are still two independent clauses.

In A above, the clauses are clearly identified and so is the point of their separation.

The same is true for D.

In B, C, and E the sentences are no longer independent.

In F, the demarcation between two sentences by the semicolon is evident however the second half of the sentence is no longer dependent as it is missing the pronoun "it".

Cheers!

He winced at the scratchy blare of the battered trumpet, the uncertain smash of the tarnished cymbals, and the anguished screech
8_murik_8 [283]
Cacophony means a harsh, discordant mixture of sound that is annoying or irritating. A combination of sounds that is not in harmony.

The words that form the clue to the meaning of cacophony are:
1) blare, battered, trumpet
2) smash, cymbals
3) anguished, screech, poorly-played saxophone

Trumpet, cymbals, and saxophone are all musical instruments. If these instruments were in very good condition and were played well, then the sounds they would have produced will be harmonious.
