Answer:

The word abomination is related to disgust or hatred and changing it would reduce the impact of the sentence and change the tone of it.

Explanation:

The sentence has a tone of disgust, hatred, and extreme rejection because of the use of the word abomination, this makes the nuances strong and well defined, if the word is changed by the word horror the tone of the excerpt will be of fear and self protection from something but for different reasons from the ones in the original idea.

Which type of figurative language is Bradstreet using in these lines from "Upon the Burning of Our House?"
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The type of figurative language used in these lines is:

B) Metaphor or extended metaphor.

Explanation:

<u>Metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things in order to attribute a quality of one of them to the other. An extended metaphor happens when such a comparison continues throughout a series of lines in a poem. In Bradstreet's poem, we have the extended metaphor in which Heaven is compared to a house and God to an architect. Since this comparison lasts for at least four lines, we can say it is an extended metaphor. </u>Bradstreet wrote this poem after a fire destroyed her house and her belongings. What she means in these lines is that God has a better place waiting for her. Even though her home here on Earth has been destroyed, she has a permanent, strong home waiting for her. A home God Himself prepared for her.
