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.

uncommonly - adverbial

thrifty - subject complement (adjective)

2. The Oldsmobile was on its last legs

The Oldsmobile - subject

was - past tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

on its last legs - adverbial

3. Celia is the CEO of a large multinational corporation.

Celia - subject

is - present tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

the CEO of a large multinational corporation - subject complement (noun phrase)

4. The last performance of Death of a Salesman was on Friday.

was -  past tense of the verb <em>to be </em>

on Friday - adverbial

5. The plumber will be here soon.

Exercise 2

5. Ms. Yeziersky became a schoolteacher.

Ms. Yeziersky - subject

became - linking verb (past tense)

a schoolteacher - subject complement (noun phrase)

In all examples, we have an equation:

subject = noun phrase (what?)

               adjective (how?)

               adverbial (when? where? how? etc.)

To define if a subject complement is a noun phrase or an adjective, we always think of the main word:

like a nice man (noun phrase because everything modifies the noun MAN)

uncommonly thrifty (<em>uncommonly</em> modifies <em>thrifty</em> so it is an adjective).

B) with the air released

B) “pumps out”

The word deflated in paragraph 6 is used to describe a balloon that has all of the air released. The author uses this comparison between the balloon and the bladderwort to help the reader better visualize what is happening. The first sentence describes the bladderwort as pumping out all of it's water. This way when a bug comes by and touches a hair in front of it's door, it can suck in a great deal of water, and with it the bug that is now it's meal.
