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.

What does his nostrils stood out and quivered suggest
Margarita [4]
I am not sure if you are doing the same quiz as the other girl but this was her answer: Like a pig or a dog with ultra-sensitive nasal hairs, he was trying to pick up a scent. "He could smell something". Alternatively, his nostrils quivered as he took in air in readiness for an action, so possibly a preparation for an act of aggression.

What is a limited or omniscient point of view
larisa86 [58]
A limited point of view means you only know the thoughts of one character. An example is: Mr.Kirk looked at Joey strangely. Joey thought that Mr. Kirk was a creep. Here you only know Joey's thoughts. Omniscient means you know everyones different thoughts. Here is an example using the same people: Mr.Kirk stared at Joey strangely, feeling like he recognized him. Joey just thought Mr.Kirk was a creep. Here you know both characters thoughts. Limited can let you know more about one person while omniscient lets you see other sides of the story.

Agata [3.3K]

A compound-complex sentence is a sentences that has two independent clauses joined to one or more dependent clauses. An example of a compound-complex exclamatory sentence about travel would be: While Jack likes the mountains, Peter loves the sea, but Amelie prefers to stay at home!

("Peter loves the sea" and "Amelie prefers to stay at home!" are independent clauses. On the other hand, "While Jack likes the mountains" is the dependent clause.)
