Your answer is lines 2 and 3.
The answer is A. prepositional phrase
Answer:
A. to establish credibility, suggesting many want to hear his tale
Explanation:
In the excerpt from "Treasure Island," by Robert Louis Stevenson, the narrator directs attention to the number of credited men who wish to read his story, such as Squire Trelawney and Dr Livesey, who have asked him "to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island." Besides, the author creates interest by mentioning an undiscovered treasure and the arrival of a mysterious character in the narrator's life.
The use of a, an, or the is a signal that a noun is coming.
In the English language, only nouns are preceded by articles. A is used when a noun starts with a consonant (a book, a table, a bottle); an is used when the noun starts with a vowel (an apple, an umbrella, an avocado); the is used when you are referring to a particular thing (The boy I just met is called Mark.)
Answer:
D. alliteration
Explanation:
Oxymoron: figurative language where two contradictive terms appear together (i.e. all alone). There's no oxymoron here, though.
Onomatopoeia: figurative language with a word that represents a sound. There's no onomatopoeia here, though.
Allusion: a form of figurative language where one mentions something indirectly. (i.e. he's a Romeo with the girls). There's no allusion here, though.
Alliteration: figurative language where many words begin with the same sound. There is alliteration here: sudden stillness, everyone snoring.
Therefore, the answer is D.
