Which of these excerpts from poems by Emily Dickinson uses irony? A. My cocoon tightens, colors tease, I'm feeling for the air;

A dim capacity for wings Degrades the dress I wear. B. Could she have guessed that it would be; Could but a crier of the glee Have climbed the distant hill; Had not the bliss so slow a pace, — Who knows but this surrendered face Were undefeated still? C. One dignity delays for all, One mitred afternoon. None can avoid this purple, None evade this crown. D. There's a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes. Heavenly hurt it gives us; We can find no scar, But internal difference Where the meanings are. E. Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea, — Past the houses, past the headlands, Into deep eternity!

Answer:

The excerpt from poems by Emily Dickinson that uses irony is E.

Explanation:

The excerpt "Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea, — Past the houses, past the headlands, Into deep eternity!" is an example of irony since it shows death and the process of the elevation of the soul as something divine, something marvelous and enigmatically celestial experience. All the opposite of what most people think about it

Which is one way that Swift criticizes society in "A Modest Proposal"?
Alik [6]

Answer:

option A. In "A Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift criticizes society by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by Swift in 1729. In it, the author argues, ironically, that a suitable solution for helping the starving children of Ireland would be to fatten them all and later feed them to the rich Irish land-owners. By suggesting these, Swift is giving the statement that the Irish society, specially the high class of land owners, care so little about the children that they would be more willing to sell them and eat them than to actually help them.

Four feet in a line of poetry, six feet in a line of poetry, etc. is talking about the meter.  Therefore, hexameter is a six feet line of poetry. Tri- would be three, and octo- would be 8.  Rhyme is repetition in sounds.  The differences between true and slant: slant means the lines end in similar, but NOT IDENTICAL sounds whereas true would be identical.  Rhythm is the stressing of syllables.  Syllable is a word or part of a word, and to mute would be to soften.
