Answer:

Consonance.

Explanation:

<em>'Consonance' </em><em>is demonstrated as the literary device that involves a succession of similar consonant sounds usually at the end of syllables or words without resembling the vowel sounds in a single line(sentence) or phrase.</em> The chief aim of employing such a device is to create a rhythmic and melodious effect that would captivate the readers' attention and appeal to them. In 'abstruser musings', there is a quick succession of consonant sound 's' while in the phrase 'That was a stroke of luck', the use of consonant sound 'k' repetitively creates the rhyming effect. Thus, <u>'consonance'</u> is the answer.

Which scenario is an example of a theme for a story
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

Explanation:

According to the Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, “the theme of a work is not its subject but rather its central idea, which may be stated directly or indirectly. For example, the theme of Othello is jealousy.”

There could be one or more themes in a story. To understand the idea, one could ask, what is the story trying to talk about, or what is/are the underlying message/s or concept/s or idea/s that is/are being put forward or portrayed through various characters and instances?

In light of this, let us examine each statement carefully.

<u>Dorothy is a dreamer who wants to see other places</u>

This statement essentially talks about the character, Dorothy, and not the idea of the story.  

<u>Bilbo goes on a journey and becomes a hero </u>

This statement talks about what happens with one of the characters of the text, or the story of the character, which is also not the theme, as it is hard to say what the central idea of the story could be.

<u>The story takes place in a dark, dense forest</u>

This is clearly the setting of the story, describing the location where the story unfolds.

<u>Good always triumphs over evil in the end</u>

This statement could be the central idea of a story, or its underlying message, and can be portrayed in numerous ways. Hence, this could be an example of a theme for a story.

<u><em>Note:</em></u><em> </em><em>However, it is important to note that the moral of the story isn’t necessarily its theme. The theme could very be any other idea regardless of whether that is also the moral of the story.</em>

igomit [66]

The ironic elements that is used to show the relationship between this husband and wife is exaggeration.

<h3>How irony is used in the story</h3>

Van Winkle is said to be a good natured and pleasant person but he is still described as henpecked.

His wife is said to be constantly nagging him and asking him to do household chores yet he is said to be a lazy person.

She is said to be eloquent yet the story tells us of her nagging which is not valuable.
