Answer:

According to "The Philosophy of Composition, Poe choose the word 'Nevermore" as the refrain in "The Raven" Because of the sounds of the "o" and the "r"

Explanation:

In the Philosophy of composition he talks about the right elements that are necessary to create a good piece of literary work. In the specific case of The Raven and the use of the word Nevermore, it makes a contrast of sound between consonants and vowel and he plays with it to create a phonetic effect besides it has the same vowel sounds like the name Lenore.

The correct answer is A.

In his essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," Poe explains that he wanted to have a strong word for the Raven to say. It had to be "sonorous and susceptible of protracted emphasis".

These considerations led him to the conclusion that the word should contain the vowel "o" connected with the consonant "r."

After deciding these characteristics, the first word that came to his mind was "Nevermore."

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

tapping on the podium with the fist

Explanation:

Body gestures such as "tapping on the podium with the fist" are often used by good speakers to help make their points and to keep the audience engaged.

This is because "tapping on the podium with the fist" gives a sound like exclamation that drives home a point that tends to show the power and confidence on the part of the speaker.

Option B: rapidly tapping one foot on the floor: shows impatience or releasing of tension. Hence, this is not correct.

Option C. making a hand movement for the listener to come towards the speaker​: is a means of asking someone to come forward only, not necessarily to express or give credence to a point. Hence, this is not correct as well.
