Answer: 1.Caricature

Explanation:

Caricature is a device in which certain features of a subject are either simplified or exaggerated, in order to create a comic effect. A caricature can refer both to the character's physical appearance or a certain personality trait.

In Swift's <em>Gulliver's Travels</em><em> </em>(1726), a story about a surgeon (Lemuel Gulliver) who travels to the South Seas, the writer uses caricature in his account of the Lilliputians in the first part of the story. For instance, Lilliputians are divided into two political groups: <em>high-heeled shoes and low-heeled shoes</em><em>.</em> This is an allusion to their physical appearance, because they are extremely small and short.

Alexxx [7]

Answer: hope this helps :)

Explanation:

I hear the ferocious wind howl with pride

the sky timidly poured, and as it cried

the sun fell like a leaf from a tree entering winter

causing chaos cutting deep like a splinter

I know it's rough but if I dare to be so bold

this weather is killing me, its far too cold

for unlike winter, summer is a kind neighbor

it has a warm heart and doesn't shy from a favor

the spring and fall are beautiful in between

not given enough attention by far but still seen

though leaves fall and colors change and fade

the sun will rise again and come out from the shade

Read the following passage from Langston Hughes's "Theme for English B" and answer the question. It's not easy to know what is t
Illusion [34]

The answer is:

  • repetition
  • alliteration
  • assonance

In the pasage from "Theme for English B," the author Langston Hughes makes use of repetition when he reproduces the words <em>and</em>, <em>hear, me, </em>and <em>you</em> several times.

He also uses alliteration, which is the evident repetition of identical consonant sounds in nearby syllables. For example, <em>true </em>and <em>twenty-two</em>, as well as <em>hear </em>and <em>Harlem. </em>

Finally, Hughes also employs assonance, which is the resemblance in vowel sounds among syllables and words. For instance, <em>true, two, you</em> and <em>too</em>; and <em>feel, see </em>and <em>we</em>.
