(1) Can you imagine paying a year’s salary for a single tulip bulb? (2) During the early 1600s, wealthy investors in Holland did

just that. (3) It was all part of a craze for tulips that became known as Tulip Mania. (4) Tulips, which were introduced to Europe in about 1550, seemed unusual to Europeans at that time. (5) Tulips had deeper, more intense colors than did flowers native to Europe. (6) Tulips therefore became highly prized. (7) Tulips’ popularity made tulips attractive to investors in Holland, where the economy was flourishing. (8) Tulip bulbs, the investors reasoned, would keep going up in price. (9) Tulip bulbs did not hold their high prices, however. (10) Tulip prices suddenly crashed in 1637. (11) Tulip bulbs that had sold for huge prices suddenly sold for much, much less. (12) Tulip Mania was over. Which is the most effective way to vary the sentences in the passage?

The most effective way to vary sentences in this paragraph would be to combine a few into complex sentences. They are all simple right now, so making them complex would help vary flow and diversity.

An example of how to do this can be found in combining sentences 8 and 9. 

<span>Tulip bulbs, the investors reasoned, would keep going up in price. Tulip bulbs did not hold their high prices, however. 

can be changed to:

Tulip bulbs, the investors reasoned, would keep going up in price, however, they did not hold their high prices. 
Adding a comma and conjunction word (however) creates a complex sentence. </span>

Answer:

A: Have you ever really struggled to make a decision? I sure did. It was springtime. I was 11 years old and living with my grandma and grandpa in Florida. The weather was wonderful. I couldn’t wait to try out for spring sports!

B: That spring I had to decide between playing soccer and volleyball. I loved both sports but knew that if I wanted to be able to perform at my best, I would have to choose one over the other.

C: Beginning action topic sentence: I loved playing sports in the spring. The weather was just right.

Supporting detail 1: Every day, I’d rush home after school, gobble up a snack, and rush out again to play soccer in the park with my friends.

Supporting deta

il 2: Sometimes I went to the tennis courts on weekends with my best friend, Anna, who was on the tennis team at school.

Supporting detail 3: And then there were the afternoons we spent playing volleyball on the beach.

D: Middle action topic sentence: I had played soccer since I was 6 years old. My dad taught me to play because the little boys in my neighborhood wouldn’t let a girl like me play with them.

Supporting detail 1: From that day on, my dad was my coach. Playing soccer became one of my favorite things to do with him.

Supporting detail 2: It was my dad who encouraged me to join the junior soccer team when I was in the sixth grade.

Supporting detail 3: By then, soccer was not just an important part of my relationship with my dad; it was also my go-to whenever I felt down or discouraged.

E: End action topic sentence: Volleyball was a new sport for me.

Supporting detail 1: I only ever played it when I went to the beach with my friends. I had never played for a school team.

Supporting detail 2: I knew from the few times I’d played volleyball that I enjoyed the game. It was exciting, and it got my blood pumping.

Supporting detail 3: But I also knew that my serves were very weak; they never went where I wanted them to go. Usually the various members of the other team ducked the minute I served the ball. They didn’t want to get hit.

F: After I really took the time to think about it, I decided I would choose soccer as my spring sport. I had played it for so long that it just felt like the best choice. I will always remember this time in my life because it taught me to trust my instincts. Even though I still enjoy volleyball, soccer is my true love. I’m glad that I’ve stuck with it all these years.

What literary device is used in these lines from "Music, When Soft Voices Die (To--)" by Percy Shelley?
Serga [27]
If the options are metaphor, alliteration, allusion, and apostrophe, I believe the answer is metaphor, because the others don't fit.
Alliteration is the repetition of a consonant.
Allusion is reference to something or somebody outside of that literary work.
And apostrophe is the author speaking directly to somebody outside the poem, usually gods or a muse.
