The correct answer is B, the sound devide used is alliteration. Throughout the first and thirds lines, words beginning with the letter "b" are repeated: birches, bend, boy and been.

Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby stressed words or syllables. In the two lines signaled by the question, of all the sound devices mentioned, alliteration is the only one used.

Why is Calixta happy at the end of the story? How can everyone be happy at the end of the story? What does the author's attitude
babymother [125]

This question is about "the storm" by Kate Chopin

Answer Explanation:

1. Calixta is happy at the end of the story because her son and her husband arrive home safely, even in the face of the storm, besides, she does not feel any remorse for the adultery she committed.

2. Everyone is happy because she has a family that was not destroyed by her actions, and they know that adultery is impossible to be discovered, so their lives, as they are used to, will be maintained.

3. Reading the short story, we have the impression that the author does not encourage adultery, but does not see it as something capable of destroying a family and ruining the marriage, but rather as something that can be kept secret, without hurting anyone.

4. The only moral tone that can be considered in this story is that people should do what they want and make them happy regardless of the rules established by society.
