simile

A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as. There are actually two similes in this line. The first is the comparison of the speaker's body to a harp. The second comparison is the woman's words to a harpist's fingers.

A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. Personification is giving a non-human thing human-like traits. A motif is a dominant idea in a work of literature.

Answer:

a sunk cost, ( in economics) refers to the money spent and which cannot be recovered. for example: if you spent money on a game that you are interested in or on a game equipment in the game, the money cannot be recovered. Or in many games, there are things like diamonds, tickets etc which can be increased with real money, but after the usage, the diamonds or tickets get finished. It does not only finish those things but also your money, which gets spent but cannot be recovered. in a house, after the floor gets tiled, and if you hate that type of tile, you cannot return it back. here, the money gets spent and cannot be recovered.

The answer is...
D.) Drafting
Because that is the beginning of writing an essay. If you would have picked an “angle” at another other time, besides right from the beginning, it would be nearly impossible to write.

How does the Duke describe his last duchess ​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

answer is here

Explanation:

The Duke describes the last Duchess as if she were wanton with her attention, inadequately class conscious and overly friendly. As rowens says, his primary complaint is that she does not treat him with more reverance or favour than she does anyone else. She loves everyone and everything: "she had a heart too soon made glad, too easily impressed". She enjoys life and people, and does not differentiate between nature and art, high or low class, men in general and her husband with the 900 year old name.

She is not a coarse woman--she blushes easily (too easily, according to the Duke, and too frequently as well). She smiles at everyone (friendly, but undifferentiatingly so), and she thanks everyone (this makes her too free with her gratitude). As far as the Duke is concerned, she should only be thankful to him for giving her his name (and title).

According to the Duke, she is oblivious to her faults, and does not correct herself (he doesn't tell her he sees anything wrong with her behaviour because that would be "stooping" and the Duke never stoops.

So her three greatest faults are that she is uncommonly friendly (which makes her common in the Duke's eyes), she is insufficiently grateful and subservient to the Duke, her husband and, finally, that having made these grave errors she does not see them and correct them on her own (thus putting the Duke in the uncomfortable position of feeling he must tutor his wife, which of course he cannot do).

Hope its helpful;
