Answer: D) onomatopoeia.

Explanation: a metaphor is a direct comparison without using the words "like" or "as." Alliteration is the repetition of the beginning sound of consecutive words, or words that are close to each other. A simile is also a comparison but using the words "like" or "as." And an onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that consists in creating or using words that include sounds that are similar to the noises the words refer to, for example: cuckoo, meow, honk, boom, etc. So the correct answer is option D.

klemol [59]

Answer:

She disobeyed his command and buried her brother.

Explanation:

As the text explains, “To bury the dead was a most sacred duty, not only to bury one's own, but any stranger one might come upon. But this duty, Creon's proclamation said, was changed in the cause of Polyneices to a crime. He who buried him would be put to death.” When Creon learns that Antigone has defied his order, he has her killed.
