Answer:

The poet's aunts have both the soft, round bodies and the sweetness of pears

Explanation:

First, the Poet talks about the aunts' physical shape: <em>"My aunties, like pears, have swelled at the waits as they ripened"</em>. Then, about who they were: <em>"Not with the swelling of infection or with bloated self-importance, but in a natural, easy flow, as if all the goodness of their lives were trickling down to their laps, making a soft refuge for a child"</em>. They were sweet to be around. So they were like a pear in both senses.

A- Personification, because the sentence is giving human characteristics to a nonhuman object. The beach cannot literally call one's name.

"As thou hast said, they seek for us even now, these Russians. Show them the way, Negore, even as Old Kinoos showed them the way

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: Oona is planning to ambush the Russians.

In this excerpt, we see that Oona is instructing Negore as to how to lead the Russians. Oona states that Negore should show them the way, to where they wait in a passage up the rocks. The fact that they are hidden, and that they are waiting for the Russians to pass, along with their negative attitude towards them, implies that they are planning an ambush for the Russians.

Now look at the two lines that follow the ones you examined in part A. Do they support the speaker’s original assessment of the

dusya [7]

Answer:

In the next two lines, that seems to refer to the statement above about the second path being grassier and less worn. Now the speaker suggests that the second path was equally, not less, worn: “the passing there / Had worn them about the same.” This seems to say that the two paths had had a similar number of people walking on them, so they were fairly equally worn.
