Answer:

  • Synecdoche - They drive their keels o'er the darkling wave
  • Alliteration - Grim and greedy, he grasped
  • Kenning - The whale-path
  • Epithet - The Ruler-of-Man

Explanation:

  • The synecdoche is a figure of language characterized by the substitution of one term for another, occurring a reduction or amplification of the meaning of that term. This is because the relationship that the substituted term and the substitute term establish is unequal. Mostly, a relationship is established between the part and the whole.
  • Alliteration is defined by the repetition of consonant phonemes in a statement. This means that these sounds can be similar or equal and are usually located at the beginning or middle of the word. Alliteration produces an interesting sound effect, marking the rhythm and suggesting some sounds similar to the words that make up the text.
  • Kenning, in the medieval literature of Scandinavia, is a figure of poetic language in which idiomatic expressions are made through compositions. In its simplest form, it comprises two terms, one of which (the 'base word') is related to the second forming a meaning that neither term has individually.
  • Epithet is an adjective or a participle that intends to characterize a name. Its main purpose, therefore, is not to specify or determine the name in question, but to evidence intrinsic characteristics of the noun.

Which word does not describe Aragorn? A. angry B. secretive C. devoted D. brave
valentinak56 [21]
The correct answer is A, angry.
Whereas he is secretive in the beginning when he doesn't want to show his identity to the Hobbits, and he is definitely brave and devoted, he doesn't really show the emotion of anger, either in the movies, or in the books.

Write letter to ur friend describe how u save a who was in danger​
dedylja [7]

Dear ZhNya,

you won't believe what happened to me today I saved a kid from death. The kid was in a apartment that was catching on fire! I walked up to the apartment when I noticed a crowd. I asked what was going on, and a man answered there's a kid in a apartment that was on fire. That reminded me of my sister who died in a fire so I, ran into the apartment without a second thought. I went in and looked everywhere until I found the kid. Then I ran out in a hurry because I was running out of breath. That's the story of how I saved a kid.
