The correct answer to the first question (<em>what can be inferred by contrasting the ideas in the first two stanzas of the poem to the last stanza</em>) is D) The awful tempest rages all night long and terrifies the speaker of the poem.

The first two stanzas, through adjectives like <em>"awful" and "gaunt"</em>, expressions like <em>"spectre's cloak"</em> and <em>"creatures"</em>, and verbs like <em>"chuckled", "whistled" and "gnashed"</em>, convey that the tempest was <em>terrifying</em>, which can be understood by <em>the speaker's word choice</em> when telling the reader about it.

The last stanza shows that <em>the storm lasted all nigh</em>t when the speaker says <em>"morning lit"</em>, and, by expressing her <em>relief</em> and <em>how peaceful</em> she thought everything was after the storm had passed, the speaker intensifies the idea that <em>it had been a terrifying storm</em>. So, the correct answer to this question would be D.

Answer <em>A</em> is not correct because <em>nothing indicates that the speaker would be fascinated by the storm</em>, rather scared. Answer<em> B</em> is not correct because <em>the tempest is not saddened by the morning sun</em>, on the contrary, the speaker shows his relief and peace almost with happiness, which can be inferred by the presence of an exclamation mark in the last verse. Answer <em>C</em> is not correct because <em>the tempest is not saddened at first, it is scary</em>.

The correct answer to the second question (<em>what device did Dickinson employ to create the effect in lines 1 and 2</em>) is C) Paradox.

A paradox is <em>a statement that seems to be contradictory in logic, that seems to not be true, but that also is not false. </em>The speaker creates <em>an absurd effect</em> by using a paradox to describe the tempest when she suggests <em>a storm with gaunt and few clouds.</em> So, the correct answer to this question would be C.

Answer <em>A </em>isn't correct, the device used by Dickinson <em>couldn't be an hyperbole because that figure of speech would cause the contrary effect</em>; the storm would be shown like something grandiose and extremely terrifying, with an <em>exaggerated connotation</em>. Answer <em>B</em> isn't correct because there is <em>no presence of an onomatopoeia in both lines</em> since there is no written sound. Answer<em> D</em> isn't correct because the storm<em> is not personified with human characteristics</em>, rather the clouds are "gaunt", which is an adjective that can refer to objects.

The correct answer to the third question (<em>why did Dickinson most likely use the phrase "black, as of a spectre's cloak" in the first stanza</em>) is D) to create a feeling of darkness and gloom.

The black spectre's cloak mentioned is <em>an image that describes how the gaunt and few clouds created a dark plain sky that covered the earth and the heaven</em>, leaving everything <em>dark and gloomy</em>. That was the storm's appearance. Therefore, the correct answer to this question would be D.

Answer<em> A </em>is not correct because, although the storm could have been a dream, <em>nothing in the poem indicates that it was</em>; on the contrary, the description of the <em>storm going away in the morning indicates that it wasn't a bad dream, but something real</em>. Answer <em>B</em> is not correct because <em>the black cloak mentioned doesn't transmit a sensation of coldness</em> but of darkness. Answer <em>C</em> is not correct because <em>the poem isn't comic</em>, not even slightly, and this expression makes it even darker.

The correct answer to the last question (<em>how does the poet convey the seriousness of the storm</em>) is A) She uses personification to emphasize the impact of the storm.

When the poet describes the storm as a <em>"monster"</em> whose <em>"faded eyes turned slowly to his native coast"</em>, she is using <em>personification to emphasize how serious the storm was</em>, as if it were <em>like a monster with eyes that can turn, and with power and strength</em>. Hence, the correct answer to this question is A.

Answer <em>B</em> isn't correct because <em>neither does the poet use paradoxes in the last stanza nor does she show the storm as majestic.</em> Answer <em>C</em> isn't correct because <em>she doesn't use informal language and the storm seems to have been very serious and strong</em>, and not the opposite. Answer <em>D</em> isn't correct because <em>she doesn't show the changes that are coming through metaphors</em>, the poet actually shows only <em>the peaceful feeling that was left when the storm was gone. </em>

Irony is Saying the opposite of what you mean and sometimes is funny.

For example- say there is a sign on a window that says no putting signs or pictures on windows.

Its ironic because there is a sign on the window telling you not to put them there.
