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.

borishaifa [10]

B) The daily work continued; nay, it actually increased;

Something that is happening on a consistent basis. It also gives the feeling that it is work to make it persistent. In option B, the statement "daily work" indicates that something is done daily which supports the idea of persistent. The sentence containing the line "The daily work continued; nay, it actually increased" also includes the description "with an astonishing pertinacity." Pertinacity means persistent determination. The brain failing and life slipping away does not show any persistent determination. Also, the statement that she inquired with acute anxiety does not how any persistent determination.
