The correct answer and the way that Walt Whitman uses the extended metaphor to refer to Lincoln's death in his poem "Oh Captain! My Captain" (1865) is D. Whitman compares Lincoln's tragic death to a captain lying dead on the deck of his ship.

This comparison could be extracted from the very tittle of the poem, but it can also be suported by the lines "O the bleeding drops of red / Where on the deck my Captain lies / Fallen cold and dead"

There are more references to a ship captain throughout the poem, like "The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done" and multiple references as a refrain of the deck where he has fallen cold and dead.

In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act IV, which adjective would Macduff and Malcolm be most likely to use to describe Macbeth’s rule on
AveGali [126]

Answer:

D. Pernicious

Explanation:

<em>The Tragedy of Macbeth</em> is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It tells about a Scottish general Macbeth, who receives a prophecy from three witches. According to the prophecy, he will become king of Scotland. Spurred by his ambition and wife, Macbeth murders Duncan, takes over the throne, and rules as a tyrant. He slaughters many, including Macduff's family. Macduff reaches out to Malcolm, Duncan's son who had fled to England, and they gather an army consisting of Scottish and English forces and end Macbeth's reign.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the word Macduff and Malcolm would use to describe Macbeth's rule is <em>pernicious</em>. When something is pernicious, it has a harmful effect (on something).

The rest of the words don't fit at all. The adjective <em>judicious </em>refers to something that shows or is done with good judgment. The adjective <em>sundry </em>means <em>of various kinds,</em> and when someone is credulous, they are too ready to believe that something is true.

This is why option D is the correct one.
