Answer: Symbol: What happens to a dream deferred?, Imagery: Plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood, Tin flatware, Metaphor: The fog comes/on little cat feet and Simile: Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Explanation: A symbol is concept that we can assign to a word to change its literal meaning and making it deeper and more significant. Imagery is the use of descriptive language in order to create a picture in the readers' minds. A metaphor is a direct comparison that doesn't use the words "like" and "as". And a simile is also a comparison but it uses the words "like" or "as." " What happens to a dream deferred?" is an example of a symbol, "Plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood, Tin flatware" is an example of imagery. "The fog comes/on little cat feet" is a metaphor that compares fog with cat feet and "Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" is a simile.

Explanation:

A conjunction is a word used to connect other words, phrases, or clauses inside a sentence. A coordinating conjunction, more specifically, connects parts that have the same importance inside a sentence. It doesn't establish a subordinating relationship between clauses, for example. Both clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction are equally important. The coordinating conjunctions are: FANBOYS (for, and, not, but, or, yet, so).

Subordinating conjunctions are used to introduce a dependent clause. They establish a relationship of dependence in the sentence - for the subordinate clause the make sense, it needs the main one. Examples of subordinating conjunctions are: whenever, while, until, although, because, if, even though, etc.

Finally, correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that connect two ideas. These ideas are usually expressed in similar structures. They are: neither... nor, either... or, both... and, not only... but also, whether... or, so/as... as.
