Answer:

There is Hyperbole, Simile, Onomatopoeia, Metaphor, Irony, Personification, Imagery, Alliteration, and Oxymoron.

Explanation:

Homer uses Hyperbole when he states, " For each poor ghost unfleshed by the cicones on that field."

Homer uses Simile when he states, " But he, behind reset the stone as one would cap a quiver."

Homer uses Onomatopoeia when he states, " The cyclops bellowed and rock roared around him..."

Homer uses Metaphor when he states, "Odysseus is fated to escape his noose of pain."

Homer uses Irony when he describes Odysseus coming home as a beggar and trying to convince his wife it is him.

Homer uses Personification when he states, "We saw a cavern yawning above the water." (150)

Homer uses Imagery when he states, "Then he dismembered them and made his meal,  gaping and crunching like a mountain lion –  everything: innards, flesh, and marrow bones.  We cried aloud, lifting our hands to Zeus . . .  but Cyclops went on filling up his belly  with man flesh and great gulps of whey..."

Homer uses Alliteration when he states, " ...slabs of stone..." (150) or "...black blood..." or "... our fellow faces...".

Homer uses Oxymoron when he states, " {made from slabs of stone earth fast} between tall trunks of pines and rugged towering oaks." (150)

Select the two lines that contribute to the exposition of the story? Group of answer choices "The man called Evans came swaying
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

"The man called Evans came swaying along the canoe until he could look over his companion's shoulder."

"The paper had the appearance of a rough map. By much folding it was creased and worn to the pitch of separation, and the second man held the discoloured fragments together where they had parted."

Explanation:

Hello. From the context of your question we can see that it relates to "The Treasure in the Forest" a tale written by HG Wells that presents the story of two men who sail in search of treasure after murdering a Chinese man and stealing the map he owned.

The story follows a plot full of adventures, mysteries and reflections and like every plot presents an element called exposition. The exposition can be found at the beginning of the story where important elements for the development of the entire plot are presented to the reader. In the case of the question above, the two response options selected above are two examples of exposition, where one of the characters and the map are presented, which is a central element in the entire narrative.

Explanation:

A letter to brother describing the state of her health condition of sick grandmother:

154, Ravish Street

Pune- 400015

Dear Brother

Hope you are in the best of health? Just  wanted to brief you about the detracting health condition of granny. Recently I happened to visit her at the hospital and from what I saw there is nothing encouraging to talk about.

A few of her major organs have stopped functioning and as per the doctors she is to be kept under observation for the later years of life. Miracles have happened and  there is a sense of optimism as well.

My suggestion to you is that If you can take a couple of days off from your work schedule, and catch up with her it would be great.

Your loving brother
