Answer:
I would say 'nearly eighteen hands high.'
Explanation:
Go through each answer. Try to picture them in your head. Number 2 you can't because... Well, you just can't. Number three is telling you about what people think of him; you can't picture that in your head, and his steadiness of character is, once again, harder to picture than number 1 (nearly eighteen hands high.)
Imagery- The author uses words and descriptions to form an image of the character in the readers' head. Eighteen hands high is telling you what Boxer looks like, so you can form your image of him.

The correct answer is oxymoron.
- An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which opposite or contradictory ideas or terms are put together. For example, <em>thunderous silence.</em> Or in this excerpt, love and hate, brawling love, heavy lightness, serious vanity, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, etc.
- An allusion is an implied or indirect reference.
- A simile is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things; often introduced by like or as.
- A metaphor is figurative language. For example, <em>an endless night.</em>
- A pun is a joke usually using word play like using similar-sounding words with different meanings.
Answer:
Explanation:
The lines of this excerpt that emphasizes on the role of fate are:
"What but the thought of our two brothers dead,
The one by Creon graced with funeral rites,
The other disappointed? Eteocles
He hath consigned to earth (as fame reports)
With obsequies that use and wont ordain,
So gracing him among the dead below…"
There was a strong belief among ancient Greeks that everything that happened in their lives was determined fate. This was the idea of destiny being controlled by the Gods.
These lines make reference to this idea that man may do things that bring them joy, but fate will sooner or later bring pain and sorrow since man´s final fate is always death. There is also a reference to Antigone's content after burying her brother.
