Hopkin's use of "seared," "bleared," and "smeared" is an example of C) assonance.
It's not a metaphor or simile because you aren't comparing anything.
Alliteration means repetition of the same consonant in the beginning of the word, and since there are no same consonants, this isn't correct.
Answer:
Explicit textual evidence is stated directly in the text. So A does not fit here, that refers to implicit evidence. B is also not correct. I would pick C here but I am not 100% sure.
Answer:
Pronoun
Explanation:
<u>In the sentence - </u><u>This is a big mess.</u><u> - </u><u>'this' </u><u>is used as a pronoun, to be exact </u><u>a demonstrative pronoun. </u>
A demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun that is used to point at something specific within a sentence. It can be items in space or time.
These pronouns are This, That (for singular), These and Those (for plural).
This / These are used for singular items that are nearby. That / Those are used for multiple items that are not near us.
<u>Examples:</u>
This is my cat. - we can point at it, the cat is near us.
That is a plane. - the plane is not near us, so we use 'that'.
These are my favorite toys. - we point at many toys, and they are near us.
Those are my classmates. - we point at the classmates, they are not near.
Why 'this' is not a determiner in the sentence - This is a big mess.
A determiner is a word that introduces a noun. <u>It always comes before a noun, not after or without a noun near!</u>
<u>This car</u> is bad.
<u>These pies</u> look delicious.
I hope it helped you :)
