Yes you are correct on this one. The answer is C. Symbolism.

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).

Sati [7]

Answer:

A Law is a set of rules accepted by the country, whereas code is a standard accepted by an individual, society, or a class.

Explanation:

In "To Kill A Mockingbird," in chapter 20, Mayella breaks both "law" and "code."

She breaks law by giving false statement against Tom in the court. And she broke the code, by tempting a Negro.

She accused Tom, who is black, of ra-pe and on the other hand, she lu-sts after a black man. However, breaking of law is more powerful because it involves punishment whereas breaking of code does not.

"The Bat Poet" uses first person point of view. That's because the author used pronouns like <em>I </em>in the story.
The authors use this particular point of view so that the readers understand what exactly the main character is thinking and feeling.
