Breaking the word "Mustn't" between the "t" and the "n"... A) violates the poem's rhyme scheme B) creates an example of onomatop
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The objective of the question is somewhat unclear.

Explanation:

A) It's impossible to tell whether or not the poem's rhyme scheme is being violated. This is because we don't have a reference to the poem where the word was used.

B) The word "Mustn't" is not an example of Onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia refers to words which when used sound like the object being described. This creates more expression and color in the literature where it is used.

Some examples of Onomatopoeia are:

  1. Zoom
  2. Zing
  3. Belch
  4. Boom
  5. Clang

C) End-Stopping refers to a poetic device that entails a pause at the end of a unit of syntax. A syntactic unit may be a sentence, phrase, or clause.

An example of an end-stopped line is given below:

How can I compare you to a sunny day?

You are more resplendent and lovely:

D) Mustn't only means one thing: "Must Not"

So the word is a contraction of two words: Must and Not.

Contractions are used in the English Language for informal conversations. They are inappropriate for formal correspondences.

Cheers

Match the definition to the degree of comparison.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

1. Superlative: compares three or more things.

2. Positive: simply modifies; not comparing anything.

3. Comparative: compares two things.

Explanation:

An adjective is one of the parts of speech in English language and it can be defined as a word that qualifies or describes a noun in a sentence. Some examples of an adjective are big, small, happy, tall, short, fat, rambunctious, etc.

In English language, there are three (3) forms of adjectives and these includes;

I. Positive adjectives: it is the simplest form of an adjective that expresses the quality of a physical object, person, place, etc., without comparison.

II. Comparative adjectives: it is used for comparing two things, person or place. Signal word such as more is used for comparison or the suffix "er" is added to the adjective.

III. Superlative adjectives: it is used to show that a person or thing has a greater degree of quality than two or more other persons or things. Thus, it is used for comparing three or more people, things, place, etc.
