Answer:

Awestruck- a. In the next room, the door of which was open, I could see a magnificent glut dressing case, with some splendid diamond and ruby shirt studs lying by it, and a chest of drawers, and a cupboard apparently full of clothes. (The Notch On The Ax by William Makepeace Thackeray )

Calm- b. A hearty hand-clasp from Jack, a frank and smiling greeting from Polly (she looked handsomer than ever, Harold thought, with her lustrous black hair and soft, dark-gray eyes ), put him at his ease at one. ( The Emergency Men by George H. Jessop )

Humorous- c. By reason of my tender age (and there are some critics who, I hope will be satisfied by my acknowledging that I am a hundred and fifty-six next birthday ), I could not understand what was the meaning of this next excursion—this candle, this tool house, this bag of soot. ( On Being Found Out by William Makepeace Thackeray )

Explanation:

1. The excerpt from "The Notch on the Axe" by William Makepeace Thackeray shows an awestruck tone with the description of the room, the things the speaker can see inside the room. The depiction of the room with "full of clothes, ...diamond and ruby.. and a chest full of drawers" exudes an image of grandeur which will impress anyone.

2. George H. Jessop's "The Emergency Men" exudes a calm tone when he uses the words "put him at his ease".

3. William Thackeray's "On Being Found Out" is a humorous one for it is quite unbelievable and funny when the speaker talks of his age as "a hundred and fifty-six next birthday".

Answer:

C. Next came the Tin Pan Bangers. Some had dishpans, some had frying pans, some had potato peeling pans. All the pans were tin with tight tin bottoms. And the Tin Pan Bangers banged with knives and forks and iron and wooden bangers on the bottoms of the tin pans.

Explanation:

Repetition is a literary device that has the same sound or words being repeated in succession or in close gaps in a sentence. In it, the same words or phrases are repeated more than once in order to reemphasize the words or phrases.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter or sound of a word in close consequence in a sentence. It is also more commonly known as head rhyme or initial rhyme for the very first consonant letter or the sound of the word is repeated in the same sentence in sequence or close quarters.

From the given passages from The Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle and Who Was in It by Carl Sandburg, repetition and alliteration can be found in the third passage. This is because the passage contains words such as "such as" which is repeated thrice which shows it is a repetition. And alliteration is seen in the words "potato peeling pans", "tin with tight tin" and "bangers on the bottom".

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
