The correct answer is 2) Idiom
Idioms are literary devices and expression used to portray thoughts and ideas in a stylized and interesting, yet, non-literal manner. In the given sentence, the policeman is not implying that he literally "lay down the law". By "lay down the law" he means he had to take action and enforce the law. Another example of an idiom is the expression "under the weather". When someone says they are "under the weather", the meaning is not literal, what they actually mean is that they are sick or unwell.
False. Old English was a synthetic language, which means that words' endings signalled grammatical order and word order was rather free. As Old English differentiated words' categories through their endings, words could be placed anywhere in a sentence and readers would know the category of the words.
Whenever you read about Latin's influence on Old English, you will find its influence on Old English vocabulary. As scribes translated Latin works into Old English, they frequently found no translation for some Latin words and, thus, they introduced new Latin ones.
Answer:
Foreshadowing is the literary technique used in the line by Elizabeth Proctor.
The scene that took place for the loose devil in Salem is the case of the witch hunt that took over the town of Salem.
This connects to the theme of hysteria in that the trial brought everyone to an excitement that no one can seem to ignore or be able to refrain from.
Explanation:
The literary technique that Arthur Miller used in his "The Crucible" is foreshadowing. It allows a certain 'hint' to the readers about what was to come in the near future. This is aptly seen in the line spoken by Elizabeth Proctor<em> "The town's gone wild".</em>
The event that took place over the course of the act is that of the witch-hunt. Abigail and other young girls were caught in the forest, dancing and <em>"trafficking"</em> with the devil. But for this, Elizabeth Proctor was wrongly accused of the same witch-craft, and condemned to be hanged. The subsequent community turmoil that this issue brought into the town of Salem is what Elizabeth was referring to the loose devil in Salem.
Hysteria is the super excitement of people about a certain issue, feeling anxious and full of uncontrollable emotions. This is similar to the Salem witch hunt for it creates a sense of excitement in the whole community to see and know about the case. The very case brought everyone on their toes, be it young and old, all seem interested and affected by the trial.
It would be easier if you provided an excerpt. Anyway I think that the right answer is C.. She is not the fastest runner in the race..
