I watched the ospreys hunting over the lake behind the house. One by one, they would stalk the defenseless fish swimming too clo

se to the surface and then dive into the lake when they'd selected their victim. Not a moment later, they'd break through the surface with a poor fish flailing and fighting for its life, only to carry it away and bring it to its final demise.
Which words reveal how the author feels about the birds?

Dive, break
Stalk, defenseless
Lake, house
Lake, swimming

Answer:

The answer are the words "stalk and defenseless."

Explanation:

The words that make it obvious how the author feels about the birds are stalk and defenseless because the author is describing how the fish in the lake fall victim to the birds. It seems the author does not like the birds for their instinct to stalk their prey by watching the fish in the lake closely. The author seems dismayed that it would only take the ospreys a moment to catch the fish who have no way to defend themselves against the birds.

Hyperbole is a stylistic element in prose and poetry that involves the use of exaggerated claims that are not literal in meaning. Hyperbole is useful in creating a dramatic effect when the writer is trying to explain a phenomenon or feeling to the reader. For instance, in the passage above the sentence, "</span><span>His heart was overflowing with love for people, animals, and things and with an all-engulfing sense of optimism and joy" involves the use of exaggeration and non-literal claims to paint a picture of a "happy man" to the reader. 

2. The correct answer is </span><span>B. Symbols generally have only one meaning.

Literary symbols such as figures of speech, metaphors, alliteration, etc., enhance the meaning of a text, adding a dramatic effect when discussing characters, objects and situations. They do not have only one meaning. While literary symbols usually have a primary intended meaning for the reader, they have multiple meanings subject to the reader's interpretations of the text. </span><span>
