Answer:

Symbolism

Explanation:

Symbolism, as a figurative language, invests objects, traits, colors, animals, etc. with a symbolic meaning that is different from their actual form. In the excerpt, the black box aims to represent another concept, perhaps, it represents how things or beings become old, weary or less attractive with the passage of time.

The other options are incorrect because the passage does not make any comparison (metaphor or simile), and there are no objects nor animals with human attributes (personification).

Answer:

brainly.com/question/11210918

Explanation:if the link does not work

the quotation that best supports her feelings is "But in that same heart, Agatha couldn’t shake the feeling that she wanted something different for her own life."   The reason is because it is quoted at a crucial moment, in which she, despite the possible anger of the gods, made a decision, representing that she had always kept her feelings of running away from arranged marriage, as before it had been stated that she knew she might be the next.

neonofarm [45]

Simile is a figure of speech that uses the words, ‘like’ or ‘as’ when comparing one thing to another. This makes the sentence more intense or definite. For example, she was brave as a lion. So for this question, the answer is “He gave the struggle his attention, as an idler might observe the feat of a juggler, without interest in the outcome.” Since it uses the word ‘as’ and was compared to an idler.
