Answer:

C. Metaphors.

Explanation:

<em>'Litany' by Billy Collins is a love poem containing a series of ordinary and extra-ordinary metaphors.</em> The metaphorical comparisons employed by the poet makes it a light- hearted poem with a profound directive to humanity. <em>The poet begins with the metaphors like 'bread and knife', 'goblet and wine', ''dew on morning grass', 'burning wheel of sun', 'white apron of the baker', 'marsh birds' and many more to describe and compare his beloved while he concludes it by himself comparing to the "moon in the trees' and 'blind woman's tea cup'.</em> The entire poem is a chain of metaphorical analogies and symbolizes his praise and admiration for his beloved.

Alla [95]
I think the answer would be the spelling of Emily Dickenson is wrong. So she is the answer. However, Emerson's transcendentalism influenced the work of writers Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson. The transcendentalists championed individualism.

In a chivalrous gesture, Morgan sat in the hard chair, leaving the soft one for the elderly woman.
tekilochka [14]
Assuming this question is asking for a definition/synonym/"other word" for chivalrous, the answer is courteous. leaving a more comfortable seat for an elderly person is a respectful and polite gesture, which shows courtesy.
