Not 100% sure, but in my opinion I would say B. Personification.

The correct answer would be option B: "Personification".

Personification is when human atributes or characteristics are applied to animal or non-living things. For example, in the poem, the author says that the hawk, "accused him" and that he "complained", both being actions that an animal (such as a hawk) cannot literally do.

In the poem, the lines shown do not rhyme phonetically or visually and do not compare one trait to another (emphasizing it) therefore, options A, C and D are incorrect.

Can justice and forgiveness go hand in hand?
Arlecino [84]
This is a rather subjective question, and it really depends on your personal opinions about the topic. In my eyes, yes, justice and forgiveness can go hand in hand. Let's take an example of an offender who committed a particular crime.

He or she will be prosecuted for what they did, and thus justice will be served. However, after they've endured their punishment, they might become law-abiding citizens again, and this is where forgiveness takes place - they can be forgiven for their evil deeds and allowed back into the society (although, this depends on the crime they've committed).

Is it true demonstrating the abilities of the researcher should not be an objctive of research
Alla [95]

Answer:

False :

Values help to show what should be researched, rather than preventing researchers from being rigorous in their research. By being honest and open about their values, actively disclosing them as part of their publications, they enable readers to take this 'qualified objectivity' into account in evaluating findings.

Read this adapted excerpt from "The Third Philippic," written by Demosthenes in 342 B.C.:
maria [59]

Answer: B.  second person

Explanation:

In the second person point of view, the narrator tells the story to either the audience, or another character, and uses the word '<em>you'</em>. This point of view is also recognized by the use of pronouns 'your', 'yours', 'yourself', or 'yourselves'. In any case, the common use of the second person pronouns in a text indicate that it is written in the second person point of view. This is exactly what happens in this passage - the narrator includes phrases such as<em> 'I assure</em><em><u> you</u></em><em>', 'may </em><em><u>you</u></em><em> never find </em><em><u>yourselves</u></em><em>...', '..to do anything that </em><em><u>you</u></em><em> should do...', '</em><em><u>you</u></em><em> will not suffer any harm'.</em>

As opposed to second person point of view, the narrator speaks in the first person when he talks about himself, his opinions or experiences. Third person limited point of view is used when the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of one particular character. However, neither of these two options is the case in this excerpt.
