Answer: A. It connects the man to the spade and the act of digging in the dirt.

In this excerpt, the author uses assonance. Assonance is the resemblance between the sounds of words or syllables. This can occur between their vowels or their consonants. Assonance can have several purposes, such as emphasizing a particular idea, or giving a poem a certain rhythm. In this case, the purpose of using assonance is to connect the man to the spade and to the act of digging in the dirt.

I can't really tell you what it is, but I can give you the definition of each of those terms.

"Ode is a formal, often ceremonious lyric poem that addresses and often celebrates a person, place, thing, or idea. Its stanza forms vary. The Greek or Pindaric (Pindar, ca. 552–442 B.C.E."

"Sonnet is a fixed verse form of Italian origin consisting of 14 lines that are typically 5-foot iambics rhyming according to a prescribed scheme also : a poem in this pattern."

"A haiku is considered to be more than a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence. It should leave the reader with a strong feeling or impression."

"The sestina follows a strict pattern of the repetition of the initial six end-words of the first stanza through the remaining five six-line stanzas, culminating in a three-line envoi. The lines may be of any length, though in its initial incarnation, the sestina followed a syllabic restriction."

What is the overall tone of “The Lady of Shalott”? How does Tennyson convey this tone?
Serjik [45]
<span>The overall tone of the poem is melancholy. Tennyson conveyed this tone by using descriptive words which depict the downcast background and lonely situation of the characters. He was able to dramatize every aspect of the poem by using symbols to express its mood. Despite the Lady of Shalott's acceptance of being a prisoner in her own kingdom, she managed to be patient because of her desire to finish her woven piece to show her devotion to her loved one.</span>
