Read the following Shakespearean sonnet.

Hyperbole is used when Shakespeare is speaking about his mistress. He is actually over exaggerating how ugly and repulsive his mistress is. He is saying that she doesn't have a lovely blush to her face when he says "But no such roses see I in her cheeks." He is also saying that her breath is awful when he contrasts her breath to nice perfume and says "than in the breath that from my mistress reeks."

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. That if any one man choose to enslave another, no third man shall be allowed to
gladu [14]

An inference is someone's belief or opinion based only on the information that he/she knows.

"Squatter sovereignty" was a term used by the people that disagreed with the political doctrine which stated that the owners of federal territories should decide if their lands would enter the Union as slave or free states.

The inference being made in the excerpt is the belief that slavery should be allowed inside the territories of people who chose to enslave others, without the interference of anybody else.
