"The whole house was constantly in a state of inundation, under the discipline of mops and brooms and scrubbing brushes; and the
Lisa [10]

The correct answer is "In this selection, the use of the word <em>inundation</em> is probably exaggerated."


In this situation, inundation is not a real inundation/flood, therefore it is not literal. It is a word used to exaggerate the fact that the housewives are constantly cleaning the house, sweeping and mopping. You can see that too in the excerpt <em>"under the discipline of mops and brooms". </em>We know the author is referring to the cleaning process and therefore, chooses to use the word <em>inundation</em> to create more depth to what he's describing.

sattari [20]

In 3-5 sentences, write about the author's repetitive use of the "s" sound and its significance in the excerpt.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The author made use of consonance in the poem.

Explanation:

In the poem, "Out Where The West Begins," by Arthur Chapman, the poet applied consonance, a form of alliteration. Consonance is the repetition of consonants anywhere in a set of consecutive words. The consonant, 's', was repeated several times by the poet. This repetition is significant because it creates a form of rhythm that makes the poem enjoyable and helps the reader remember it.

<em>“Out where the handclasp's a little stronger, </em>

<em> Out where the smile dwells a little longer, </em>

<em> That’s where the West begins; </em>

<em> Out where the sun is a little brighter.”</em>
