The author uses metaphor, personification, hyperbole, and onomatopeias as it is explained below.
- A metahpor is used to make readers understand the connection between the two words but doesn't literally make sense. For example: a) You are <u>frozen</u> as the <u>clouds</u>, b) You are <u>far and sweet</u> as <u>the high clouds</u>.
- Personification which means to give human characteristics to inanimate objects, example: I dare <u>touch</u> the rim of<u> your brightness.</u>
- Hyperbole: is an outrageous exaggeration that emphasizes a point. It tends toward the ridiculous or the funny. In this sense, the author states: I <u>leap</u> beyond <u>the winds</u>, For my throat is keen as a sword. Sharpened on a hone of ivory.
- Onomatopoeia. My throat sings the joy of my eyes
Answer:
The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".
It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.
It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.
The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.
The correct inference of the given passage from "The
Cask of Amontillado”, "Enough," he said; "the cough's a
mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough."<span> "true --true," I replied.” would be Montresor,
not the cough, will kill Fortunato.</span> The correct answer
