Answer:

This is an example of Onomatopoeia

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia es the process in which the word and the pronunciation of it, phonetically imitates the sound of what it describes. Thwack is a short and loud sound of something hitting a surface, then this word imitates the sound of the action it is describing when it refers to the sound of the ball hitting the mitt back and forth.

The correct answer is swords.

The Anglo-Saxons frequently used kennings in their work. A kenning is a mini riddle, usually hyphenated, that was used to describe something. For example, the kenning "she-wolf" was used to describe Grendel's mother, as it highlights her ferocity.

Here, the kenning "battle-shaft" is used to describe their swords, which must wait to be used until the deliberations have finished. This is an appropriate kenning for a sword because swords (a) are used in battle and (b) are long and narrow.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

1. Open form - These poems have a relatively loose structure when it comes to length, meter, rhyme, or syntax.

2. Blank verse - These poems are written in iambic pentameter, a meter commonly used in poetry and verse drama.

3. Free verse - These poems do not follow any rules. Authors use various elements to communicate their intended meaning.

4. Closed form - These poems follow specific patterns in terms of rhyme, meter, and length.

Explanation:

A poem that presents an open form does not observe the rules strictly. It may present some metric, it may establish some rhythm, but nothing to the point of having a fixed pattern throughout the whole work.

Free verse is a type of poem that does not follow any rules for meter or rhyme schemes at all. NOTE: You will find books and sites that use "free verse" and "open form" as synonyms.

Blank verse happens when the lines do not rhyme, but they do present a regular metric pattern - usually, iambic pentameter.

Finally, a poem that has closed form presents a fixed, rigid pattern for rhythm, rhyme, and metrics from beginning to ending.
