Answer:

E. suggests that the speaker's vocabulary is limited

Explanation:

The question above is related to the poem entitled "Sestina: Like," written by A.E. Stallings. It is a fixed verse type of poem which consists of six stanzas. Every stanza has six lines.

The repetition of versions of the word "like" at the end of the lines allows the poem to focus on its subject matter. This allows the central concept of the poem to be unified. It also shows that the poet used the word "like" as a play on words because it provides "humor" to what is happening in the society today.

So, this concludes that using the word "like" doesn't mean the poet has a limited vocabulary.

Thus, this explains the answer.

The pencil is the thing that seems like a real person. Bill is a thing that you can eliminate on a test because he is a person. The pencil is the thing that is screaming, which is why it is the answer. It is personification because a pencil does not normally scream, but a person does. The sentence is supposed to imply that he is stressed, which nervous is a synonym of, so the statement is true.
