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.

Answer:

To me I always have to do more than what is required of me because when I just do just the minimum I feel a little bit let down by my self because I know what I can truly do. I always like to be the best and that means that I have to give the best answer I possibly can. This also reminds me of my friend who always just did the minimum and now well he's sleeping on the streets no car no money and hardly any food. He took the easy way instead of doing the assignment as good as he possible could. These are the reason that I feel it is best to do more than what is required.

HELP! According to the author, is the law of the jungle strong on its own? If not, what makes it strong? Give one example from t
svetoff [14.1K]
Okay so I'm not the best at poetry so please bare with me.

Answer:(I hope) I believe that 'The Law' of the jungle is not strong just on its own. I mean there has to be people...or animals to support it, to make it stronger. (see what I did there) 

It says, "For the strength of the Pack is the wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack." They both support each other which make the law stronger.

((Hope this helps))
