Answer:
The poetic device being used in the excerpt is:
A. rhyme
Explanation:
We can define rhyme as the repetition of ending sounds in words, especially words that are at the end of poetry lines. Let's use the first lines of the excerpt as an example:
Fairy king, attend and mark:
I do hear the morning lark.
The words "mark" and "lark" sound quite similar, right? That is because they have the same final sounds /ark/, the only difference between them being the first consonant sound of each /m/ and /l/. This is an example of rhyme.
The same happens in the other lines, with the pairs "soon" and "moon", "flight" and "night", and "found" and "ground".
The intended purpose of pamphlets like Common Sense and The Crisis #1 were to build public opinion for something that was very controversial: American Independence from the British Crown. It is important to remember that many people living in the American colonies considered themselves to be, first and foremost, British.
It was considered treasonous by many in the Colonies to declare the need for independence. There needed to be a publicity campaign to build American support for revolution, and these pamphlets helped to create that debate and convince people of something that was once considered unheard of.
Question:
Head coverings were probably the first forms of apparel put on by early humans, probably for protection from rain and sun. Hats for men have been considered proper fashion for centuries, but the popularity of hats, aside from baseball caps, declined in the second half of the 20th century. Now, in the early 21st century, the fashionable men's hat is seeing a resurgence in popularity. Led by styles such as the fedora and the panama, men are again choosing to add a "lid" to a stylish outfit when dressing up is required. Men are again finding that the hat is an accessory capable of expressing individuality and taste.
What is the best summary of this passage?
A. After a decline, hats are seeing a resurgence in popularity as part of a fashionable outfit.
B. After being popular for centuries, hats declined in popularity in the last half of the 20th Century.
C. Early humans first used hats to protect themselves from rain and sun, and hat popularity is growing.
D. Hat styles such as the fedora, the panama, and the baseball cap are popular.
Answer:
The best summary for the passage is option A) After a decline, hats are seeing a resurgence in popularity as part of a fashionable outfit.
Explanation:
The reason for that choice is because it hits on the two central points of the paragraph which are:
- Initially, head covering were essential due to their functionlity which is protecting the head from sun and rain. But then there was a decline in this practice in the second half of the 20th century
- Now the practice is becoming fashionable again
All the other options focus on one side of the story.
