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.

In Frankenstein what deaths is Victor responsible for and why?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Victor is responsible for William's death

Victor definitely considered himself responsible for their deaths. He carried a heavy weight of guilt on his shoulders for the deaths and so much so that he made himself sick. I believe that one of the driving forces in Victor's pursuit to kill the monster was guilt, along with anger and grief.

Use the passage to answer the question. Should cities be required to have detailed evacuation plans? In 3–5 sentences, answer th
qwelly [4]

Indeed cities should be required to have detailed evacuation plans

> We cannot provide specific textual evidence because you forgot to attach the passage. However, we can comment on the following.

> Every city should have a very thought-out plan to evacuate the citizens in case of a natural disaster.

> In the absence of this plan, citizens are at the mercy of luck, and that is no good.

> Every local and state government should foster the culture of prevention instead of only reacting when the problem has arisen.

> Natural disasters did not warn you. They hit a city and if people are not prepared to act, what follows is panic and chaos.

We can conclude that every city should create the proper evacuation plan and have simulacrums or rehearsals so people could know how to act in order to prevent tragedies.
