Answer:

The third option

Explanation:

Metaphysical poetry is known for its use of stylistic features that include love poems, religious and meditative lyrics. As a matter of fact, probably the most fascinating characteristic of the metaphysical verse is the application of religious images and ideas to human love, and the other way round, the application of the language of love to refer to a religious experience. Such is the case of Donne's Holly sonnets.

What situational irony occurs in “The Colomber” by Dino Buzzati¿

Mazyrski [523]

The Situational Irony that occurred in "The Colomber" by Dino Buzzati was the fact that Stefano gave up his dream of becoming a sea captain to ensure that he will live a long life after seeing the Colomber.

It was believed that the Colomber was a harbinger of Death and that whoever sees it will be doomed for life.

However, the reason why the Colomber was after Stefano was because it was tasked to give Stefano a pearl that will give him good luck and success in life.

It is ironic because the reason Stefano feared the Colomber was false and baseless.

Read the passage then answer the question. “The poppies bobbed their heads like helmeted soldiers in formation.” What type of la

Kruka [31]

It's certainly sensory. And it's figurative too. I think I'd pick figurative because the central piece of language is a simile. That's pretty good use of language when you compare the bobbing heads of flowers to helmeted soldiers.

The correct answer to what do Bixby's expressions suggest about his character is the last option: He has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.

When Bixby says things like "By the great Caesar's ghost" or "you don't know enough to pilot a cow down a lane", it becomes clear that he has a funny, comical and somehow inventive character. His expressions are jokes or puns that seem to be natural, they appear to be common or usual in his speech and to come intuitively. So, the correct answer to what the expressions suggest about Bixby's character is that he has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.

The correct answer couldn't be the first option, "He has a large and somewhat imposing personality" because there is nothing imposing about the comments Bixby does. He is, indeed, a little bit acid, but not at all imposing. On the contrary, he asks for Moses' help and says that he believes him. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be "He has a large and somewhat imposing personality".

The correct answer couldn't be the second option, "He does not get along well with any other people", because there is nothing on his way of speaking which indicates that his jokes, puns or way of expressing himself are not well excepted by people. On the contrary, he seems to be acid, humorous, but also friendly. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be "He does not get along well with any other people".

The correct answer couldn't be the third option, "He is extremely well read and well educated" because Bixby shows no signs of that. On the contrary, when he speaks, his expressions are informal and conversational. So, the correct answer couldn't be "He is extremely well read and well educated".
