What is the effect of the metaphor in the poem "Can't" by Edgar Guest?

English

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The effect of the metaphor in the poem "Can't" by Edgar Guest is that</em><u><em> it helps the reader understand the relationship between self-doubt and failure. </em></u>

<em>The correct answer is</em><u><em> option D. </em></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Guest newly defines the word “can’t.” He calls it the father of feeble endeavour. He also addresses it as a parent of terror and half-hearted work. Can’t is the word that starts with self-doubt which leads to failure. Can’t means to give up. This is what the metaphor is trying to explain to the readers. It clearly aids us to understand the failure and the self-doubt present within ours.

Your speech has run overtime and you’ve been given the 30-second stop signal. You wonder if it would be best to ignore the signa
Aloiza [94]

Answer: "I am sorry that I won't be able to say everything I'd planned in my remaining time, but please let me conclude with . . ."  Then state your most important idea and make your conclusion before time runs out.

Explanation:  If you may be cut off by the moderator or the chairman, your audience will at least hear the conclusion you planned. If you are stopped ( and it DOES happen ) in mid-sentence or without making your most important point, the audience will see you as disorganized, or insensitive to the time limits, and may have an unfavorable impression of you-- and they will have missed the purpose of your speech.

I presume you have these lines in mind:

The correct answer is B: He is enslaved by a tyrant. He then explains that his tyrant (Prospero) has cunningly deceived him and took his island from him. Caliban wants Trinculo and Stefano to help him murder Prospero and retrieve the island.
