What does line 12, "Her slaves become her sovereign now," suggest the speaker in the poem believes? A Women who once controlled
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Line 12 suggests that:

B Lovers who once did what women say, eventually become controlling husbands.

Explanation:

The line we are analyzing here was taken from the poem "Verses Written by a Young Lady, on Women Born to Be Controll'd!" Let's take a look at the context:

<em>The tyrant husband next appears,  </em>

<em>With awful and contracted brow;  </em>

<em>No more a lover’s form he wears:  </em>

<em>Her slaves become her sovereign now</em>

<em />

<u>According to the poem, a man who is in love with a woman will do anything to please her. He will appeal to her heart, make her feel loved and cherished. However, upon marrying her, he is no longer willing to work hard for her affection. Having secured her, he is now her owner, her boss, and will make sure to treat her in a way that makes that very clear.</u> This poem, written by an anonymous writer, expresses the awful fate of women - destined to be subservient to someone, be it a father, a brother, or a husband. Never free, never her own boss.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Metaphors: His voice was a cannon shot in the silence. Dad is as strong as an ox. She sings like a bird .  

Similes: My brother is a couch potato these days. My best friend holds me up like a rock .

Explanation:

Both the metaphor and the simile are figures of speech that promote subjective comparisons between two elements in the same sentence, however these comparisons have different relationships. The comparisons formed by the metaphor, relate two terms that have something in common, where one "lends" its meaning to the other term. The simile, however, makes comparisons between two terms that have nothing in common, but that can present a new meaning to this relationship between them.
