All of these phrases show personification.

The candle isn't really "dancing in the dark", it's actually just flickering.
The brown grass isn't really "begging for water", it is just very, very dry.

The word that most closely means "dainty or squeamish" is _____________.
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Fastidious

Explanation:

Words from the same language that have the same or similar meanings are called synonyms. In this case, we are looking for synonyms of the words dainty/squeamish.

The word <em>dainty</em> means of<em> delicate taste, easily disgusted.</em>

If someone is squeamish, they are easily upset, shocked, or disgusted by things they find unpleasant or don't approve of.

The word with the similar meaning is<em> </em><em>fastidious</em><em>,</em> meaning <em>paying attention to small details and wanting everything to be correct and perfect</em>, or <em>having high standards, difficult to please</em>. In dictionaries, it is often listed as a synonym of <em>dainty.</em>

The rest of the words don't have similar meanings.

A vixen is a female fox.

If something is cryptic, it is mysterious.

<em>Mortified</em> means extremely<em> embarrassed.</em>

By highlighting absence in these lines from a poem, which technique is used to add emotional intensity?
Nat2105 [25]
I am pretty sure that device which is used to add emotional intensity in the excerpt is repetition. As for me, such appeal to captain is used to persuade the reader to pay attention and create <span>thrilling tone. I hope you find it helpful.</span>
