English
1 answer:
posledela3 years ago
7 0

The excerpt from Homer’s Iliad which contains an epic simile is:

“As wasps, provoked by children in their play,

Pour from their mansions by the broad highway,

In swarms, the guiltless engage,

Whet all their stings, and call forth all their rage: traveler”

The simile in the above excerpt is 'like a swarm of bees.' A simile is a direct comparison between two things. It compares two things by using ‘as’ or ‘like.’ A simile is the figure of speech which directly compares two things which have some features common in them. In the above excerpt, the number of people has been compared with the swarm of bees.

Romanticism was characterized by its focus on emotion and individualism along with glorification of all the past and nature, preferring the medieval rather than the classical.

I believe that the most fitting answer for this question would be the word "giggle." Even if you have never read this story before, you can assume from the girls' laughter that what is about to happen is going to be amusing and fun. This word is the best hint that something amusing is going to happen. I hope this helps.
