Answer:

A. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height / My soul can reach.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is a literary device used by writers and authors in representing or comparing things that are an exaggerated form of claims/ statements. These exaggerated comparisons are impossible to be seen or done in real life.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning in her poem "How Do I Love Thee?" is about a woman's love for someone. This love is not measures in degrees, the quantity of her expression but rather in the quality of her expression. When she writes/ says "<em>I love thee to the depth and breadth and height/ My soul can reach</em>" she is exaggerating the love she had for him. There is no possibility ever to see how far a person's soul can reach, nor is it possible or will ever happen. So, this is a case of a hyperbole in use.

IrinaVladis [17]

As in so many mystery novels, Roger Ackroyd is set in a small, isolated community where everybody knows everybody else. The isolated, close-knit setting 1) suggests that the criminal is someone who everybody knows, and 2) creates a paranoid, suspenseful mood, since the criminal is hiding a big secret from their neighbors. It’s also telling that the owners of the two most “important houses” in town are also the two main victims of the novel.

In a paragraph of no less than 125 words, describe the steps you can take to effectively organize your writing.
Mashutka [201]

You can write a draft of ideas you have for an essay, making sure that all ideas are presented, and you can make a chart of how you want something to be presented, i.e. what will be in the introduction, what will be in the body and what will be in the conclusion. You can also plan out how you want the reader to see it. Sometimes in films they show something happening and then say "48 hours earlier" or something. It gives the reader an idea that you actually thought about how you want the story to be told. When you organize writing it's always important to have an open mind about what you're talking about. You can't have a narrow topic that you can't talk a lot about, you need ideas first.
