Answer:
An example of Kenning from Beowulf is 'whale-roadd' used to define the sea.
Explanation:
Kenning is a figurative language usually found in Old English and Old Norse poetry. This figurative language is used by combining two words to describe an object. This figurative language has been used extensively in Beowulf, the oldest surviving text.
<u>One of the example from the text Beowulf is 'whale-road.' The phrase 'whale-road' is combined with two nouns 'whale' and 'road' to describe metamorphically 'the sea.' Addressing the sea to be a road for the whale.</u>
<u>A kenning is combined with two words, that is, a base noun and a determinant.</u>
“Alfred Sewell ended his discussion of Chicago with a stirring prediction: ‘The city will nevertheless rise again, nay, is already rising, like the Phoenix, from her ashes. And she will, we believe, be a better city as well as a greater one, than she was before her disaster.’”
This is the best option because it gives the feeling of hope. The image of the Phoenix rising out of the ashes is meant to show that Chicago will once rise again. It will come back and be even better. The quote says that the city will "rise again" and "is already rising". Two of the other options only speak of the devastation of the fire. The option about the workers tells about the demand for laborers but it doesn't necessarily evoke a sense of hope in rebuilding.
