Answer: Alliteration
Alliteration refers to the repetition of the same initial consonant sounds within a group of words. Alliteration is commonly used in order to cause an emotional effect or to increase the persuasiveness of a text. Alliteration is also known as "head rhyme." In this case, the alliteration occurs in the words "swivel" and "still," which both have the same initial consonant sound.
No, this is false because an example of a present tense verb would be jump or turn. Past tense would be jumped or turned. So, this statement is not true because -ed, -d, and -t would be past not present part.
Answer:
marked by or showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference
Explanation:
Supine means, among other things, 'exhibiting passivity'; therefore, 'lying supinely' would be correctly defined as 'showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference'.
The supporting evidence in the text:
The phrase<em> lying supinely on our backs</em> is linked by the coordinating conjunction <em>and</em>, (which is used to join equal ideas), to the following: <em>hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot.</em> It definitely suggests passivity and indifference.
