Answer:
I believe the answer is A. soliloquy.
Explanation:
A soliloquy is an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play. Linda says, "Help me, Willy, I can’t cry. It seems to me that you’re just on another trip. I keep expecting you. Willy, dear, I can’t cry. Why did you do it? I search and search and I search, and I can’t understand it, Willy. I made the last payment on the house today. Today, dear. And there’ll be nobody home." Her husband, Willy has died, but she is still speaking her thoughts out loud to him.
The purpose and effect of Beowulf describing his own great deeds rely on showing how confident he is about his strength and bravery to fight the monster. In this way, he is demonstrating his honor and fearless pursues to others.
This must be from a standardized test. The wording is a little confusing, but I'd say it is a metaphor. Google says the definition of metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." This is saying something <em>is</em> something, or comparing two items without using "as" or "like". Have a good night/day!
