The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes Licked its ton

gue into the corners of the evening Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains, Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys, Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap, And seeing that it was a soft October night Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.
In these lines, the poet metaphorically compares the fog to _____.

a rat
a cat
a blanket
a prowler

a cat

The poem describes the fog as having a back it rubs on the window-panes. This immediately eliminates blanket as an option since the blanket doesn't have a back. Also, it later talks about the fog having a tongue, which a blanket does not have. It's also not a rat. A rat is often described with much more negative traits. The words "slipped" and "leap" are not usually descriptions for rats. A prowler also has a more negative connotation than what is portrayed in the poem. There is no indication that anything has been stolen. Also, at the end, the fog simply curls up and goes to sleep. It is much more peaceful than a prowler or rat would be.

What word describes effective persuasion?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

D) Rhetoric

Explanation:

<u> The rhetorical model of persuasion means that the argument presented is effective and appealing, posing as the truth and presenting many valuable assertions. </u>Good persuasion should make the audience change their mind and find the presenter credible and the speech emotional. It is also good to use rhetorical devices – these are stylistic devices and figures of speech that make the argument and discussion more colorful, grab the attention of the audience, and tend to help the person persuade the audience into the argument.

Good persuasion should use the models of rhetoric persuasion which are <u>pathos </u>(emotional convention), <u>ethos </u>(the belief and principle, main idea that gathers people around it), <u>logos </u>(principle of reason), and <u>kairos </u>(timeliness of the argument, the fact that it can be used outside of the certain setting or context)

To whom is Roger Chillingworth compared in Chapter 9 of The Scarlet Letter? A. An angel B. God C. A saint D. The Devil
Virty [35]
I believe the answer would be C. A Saint. 
From the book "The Scarlet Letter"
This learned stranger was exemplary, as regarded at least the outward forms of a religious life, and, early after his arrival, had chosen for his spiritual guide the Reverend Mr.Dimmesdale. The young divine, whose scholar-like renown still lived in Oxford, was considered by his more fervent admirers as little less as a heaven-ordained apostle, destined, should he live and labor for the ordinary term of life, to do as great deeds for the now feeble New England Church, as the early Fathers had achieved for the infancy of the Christian faith.
