-For a dictionary you would use it when you come across a word while reading books, magazines, or an article on your phone if you see a word you cannot pronounce or do not understand.
-If your using a thesaurus then you should use it to find synonyms for any word except slang as far as I know. A thesaurus can help you find words similar in meaning to JOY which would be: Happy, Joyful, Cheerful etc.
- A glossary is for when your reading a book and you don't understand some words. You open the book then proceed to the back of the book where you will find a lot of words with definitions a lot like dictionaries.
Glad to help! :)
The correct answer is A) He set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.
What Acrisius did to try to keep the prophecy of his death from being fulfilled was that he set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.
We are referring to Greek mythology. After consulting the Oracle of Delphi, Acricus was told that one day he will be killed by the son of his daughter Danae. That is why he decided to imprison his daughter in a chamber, but God Zeus impregnates her. The baby was named Perseus. Angered by the situation, Acrius decided to put Danae and the baby in a chest and he threw into the sea. Zeus and Poseidon intervene and save the mother and the child.

What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?
Answer: It is <u>an allusion</u>.
Explanation:
As a figure of speech, an allusion is a brief reference to an event, person, place or idea. This reference does not include a detailed description. In the first stanza of “Monet’s Waterlilies”
, Robert Hayden makes a quick allusion to the civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, which took place in 1965:
<em>"Today as the news from Selma and Saigon</em>
<em>poisons the air like fallout"</em>
How does this example of figurative language affect the last line of the stanza?
Answer: It sets up contrast.
Explanation:
In the last line of the stanza, the author mentions<em> "the serene, great picture" </em>that he loves. This is in direct contrast with the first line of the stanza, where he describes a disturbing event in which people who protested in peace were attacked by police. This picture looks like anything but serene - the word serene means untroubled and peaceful, and serves as a direct contrast to the scene from the first line.
