This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Anthony felt like he had finally overcome his fear of writing. Once he put pen to paper, the writing came easier and easier. He felt elated as he watched the words dance across the page.
Which literary device do the bold words represent?
A. implied metaphor
B. imagery
C. simile
D. personification
Answer:
The literary device the bold words represent is:
D. personification.
Explanation:
<u>Personification is a literary device used by authors to give human qualities or characteristics to objects, animals, or even ideas. By doing so, they make their writing more descriptive, poetic, and imaginative.</u> In the passage we are analyzing here, personification is used when the words are described as having the ability to dance. <u>Of course words cannot dance. But, by describing them in this manner, the speaker evokes a sense of beauty, harmony, and effortlessness in readers, a sense that is related to dancing.</u>
Answer:
<em>"They're not down on the da mn docks."</em>
Explanation:
Gary D. Schmidt's "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" is about a young boy's friendship with a Negro girl against the society's acceptance. The story deals with themes of racism, loyalty, friendship, family, society, status, etc.
In the given excerpt, Turner is warned by his father against going to<em> "visit a Negro girl on Malaga Island."</em> But Turner seemed reluctant to obey what his father or society wants him to do. So, when his father mentioned that "[Lizzie's family are] down on the docks", Turner reiterates that they are not. His repetition of <em>"they're not down on the da mn docks"</em> shows his exasperated feeling about his father.

Tara could not wait for summer.
An independent clause can be it's own sentence, while a dependent clause could not.
The full sentence could be:
Tara could not wait for summer as she was tired of doing homework.
The dependent clause would be ’as she was tried of homework’ because that can't be it's own sentence because it doesn't form a complete thought.
’Tara could not wait for summer’ is an independent clause because it has both a subject and a verb.
