The answer is c. innocuous.

Innocuous is a listed antonym of the word "noxious".

Noxious means harmful, poisonous, or very unpleasant.

Innocuous means not harmful or offensive.

They are antonyms (opposites).

(4)Write a story that clearly illustrates the saying: Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

Igoryamba

Answer:I probably know that chickens come from eggs. A female chicken or hen lays eggs and then they hatch into chicks. Well, not all of them. Some eggs do not have a baby bird.

So, at our farm, a hen produces 15 eggs. If the farmer counts the eggs, she might expect to have 15 chicks once the eggs are hatched. But then five of those eggs do not hatch. Her expectations were not met, so she feels disappointed. She tells her friend how sad she feels. The friend may say to her, “Well, don’t count your chicken before they hatch.

Another way of saying this proverb is: “Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched.”

So, this proverb means you should not depend on something that has yet to happen. It is unwise to make plans based on something that hasn’t happened. Another meaning of this proverb is this: Do not assume to have everything you want until you actually have it in your hands.

Now, let’s talk about the folklore part of our explanation.

“Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched” is a very old saying. Language experts say it appears in different forms and in many different cultures. It is also used in Aesop's Fables, a collection of stories from between 1,300 and 1,400 years ago.

The fable we are talking about is known as “The Milkmaid and Her Pail.” A long time ago, a young woman carried a bucket of milk on her head. As she walked, the milkmaid dreamed of a better life. She wanted to be rich. So, she thought she could sell her milk and then use the money to buy chickens. With chickens she could sell eggs and earn more money!

Which sound device is present in lines three and four?

12345 [234]

The correct answer is: [A]:

_________________________________________

" assonance " .

_________________________________________

Note: Lines 3 and 4 ; as follows:

_________________________________________

" And many an eye has dance to see

That banner in the sky ; "

_________________________________________

Note that "assonance" refers to the "repetition of vowel sounds" ; that occur "with" words that are close by.

_________________________________________

Note the following words that in "lines 3 and 4" that contain that;

in bold font; as follows:

________________________________________

" And many an eye has dance to see

That banner in the sky ; "

_______________________________________

The presents of "repetition of [a] vowel sound" is quite evident within "lines 3 and 4" — as shown above.

{Note: Try reading the lines aloud and notice 'vowel sounds' that are indicated bold font and underlined — as shown above.}.

_______________________________________

"Alliteration" would be incorrect; since "alliteration" would refer to the present of the repetition of the same consonant sounds; or the same vowel sounds; at the beginning of the first syllables of, words that follow each other—as well as words that appear close together. There is no evidence of this in "lines 3 and 4" of the given passage.

We can rule out "end rhyme" ; since "see" and "sky" do not "rhyme" —nor do "dance to sea" and "in the sky"— which occur at the end of lines 3 and 4.

We can rule out "onomatopoeia" — since there is no evidence of the use of words that sound like themselves (i.e. no evidence of words such as "rattle, jolt, murmur, gargle, buzz, chirp — within "lines 3 and 4."}.

Wishing you the best!
