Answer:

I believe that, in these specific lines, the literary device is indeed a simile.

Explanation:

It is known that in his poem "To a Skylark", Shelly employed several types of literary devices, among which we have allusions, an apostrophe, and a couple of metaphors as well. But since we should focus on the lines offered in the question, the literary device that is evident from the get-go is the simile.

A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like". In that sense, it differs from the metaphor. The simile makes a direct comparison while the metaphor makes an indirect one.

The very first line, "Like a poet hidden", compares the skylark to a poet by the means a simile. The other lines simply prolong such comparison by attributing actions and characteristics of a poet to the bird.

Read the paragraph from Gayle's story.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1. After an hour, they turned down a dirt road that led into a forest.

Explanation:

Putting or narrating a story in order means that the story will be narrated in such a way that the events are told in a sequence, in the pattern of how they occur. This means that the narration will start from the beginning and then eventually move on to the next event, without fluctuating from a past event to a future one and so on.

In the given story, Gayle's narration of the events leading to their fishing trip has been told in order, step-by-step process. And in between the sentences, if Gayle includes sentence 1, then the order or sequence will ensure that the narration is still in the order of what happens.

So, the correct answer is option 1.

Part I

Part I

The text structure is how the text is organized. Text structures include most of the time compare and contrast, sequence, description, problem and solution, and cause and effect. The text structure is one of the most important parts of a text. Some examples of a text structures are the sequence structure, which sorts out the text according to the order of the steps in a process or the chronological order of the events of the stories. And the problem and solution text structure, which presents a problem and then tries finding a solution and its consequences.

Part II

In the consistent text structure in the story "To Build a fire" the author consistently develops the northern theme in his work. cause-and-effect relationships are important for the author, he is interested in the psychology of the main character, the motives of his actions and the internal sources of forces for resistance. In "Gumption" the descriptive structure makes it easier for the author to emphasize actions and reveal how can each person of foolish decisions contribute to its downfall. they both tell a story of someone that is suffering. in "To Build a fire" he has to survive out in the wilderness, and in "gumption" they have to deal with racism.

Part III

The story "Gumption"  has a descriptive structure, because it describes an idea. In the story, the author makes the reader understand Clara's individual interpretation of  "Gumption" by depicting it to the reader. But in "To build a fire" the author uses a sequential structure (the ideas are presented as they happen in time) and it shows the reader how each one of the man's unintelligent decisions plays a part in his undoing.
