Answer:

The correct answer is The mirror crack'd from side to side;

Explanation:

In Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem, the lady is a prisoner on an island near Camelot. The Island of Shalott.

She can't look directly at Camelot, or else a curse will fall on her.

That's why she does it through a mirror. As the poem progresses, the lady meets Lancelot and cannot help looking at him.

The moment of the climax in this poem is when the Lady of Shalott's mirror finally breaks, and she realizes that she is cursed.

Which poetic technique is used in the first three lines of the taxi?
galben [10]

The correct answer is "Apostrophe, allusion".

The first three lines in Amy Lowell's poem "The Taxi", read as follows:

"When I go away from you

The world beats dead

Like a slackened drum"

In poetry, Apostrophe <u>refers to a literary device in which the narrator adresses an absent figure</u>. In this case, the poet is speaking of <u>a certain person that seems to be elusive in her life</u>, which brings a great deal of grief upon her.

On the other hand, an Allusion is composed as <u>an indirect reference that is lacking in detail and feels vague</u>. These usually present themselves when the narrator is recalling a past event or figure that we have no information about. In the beginning of this poem, <u>the author introduces her longing for a specific person that we don't know</u>, displaying a clear case of Allusion.


Hope this helps!
