Answer: C

Explanation: If you read the excerpt the character is in a very difficult situation. He is swimming in high waters and as “he stroke” or swam with his arms he was becoming more slow due to all the physical effort he is putting into. Each kick in the water caused an enormous tension on his ankles. “Emphasized” here refers to “put stress on” because the other options don’t have anything to do with the situation. “Took note of” would mean he knows he’s hurting physically but will ignore the pain, “gave ease to” would mean he would find relief and “used strength for” would mean he’s putting all the strength he’s got to the pain or the ankle.

The sentence should be clear like this: “He recognized that his stroke was slowing as each agonizing kick in the water put stress on his throbbing pain to his ankle”

What phrase points to Grendel's evil nature - list 2? (Use exact text<br><br> evidence)
Dimas [21]

Answer:

1.<em> The kindred of Cain crushed with his vengeance;</em>

2<em>The monster of evil, Greedy and cruel tarried but little,</em>.

Explanation:

The poem Beowulf is about a dangerous creature named Grendel who terrorized King Hrothgar of the Dane Kingdom. He would intercept the banquets held by the King and then slaughter anyone he laid his hands on, even eating them.

He was described as a descendant of Cain probably because of his vengeful hatred which made him take people's lives. The evidence is in this text from the poem:

<em> </em><em>The kindred of Cain crushed with his vengeance;</em>

<em />

He was also described as a monster because of the harm he perpetuated and his fearful physical features. The evidence is in this text:

<em>The monster of evil, Greedy and cruel tarried but little,</em>

He was later conquered by Beowulf who left his kingdom to come and defeat him.

Helga [31]

The correct answers are: B) the dystopian world that Gregor enters as an insect, and C) Gregor's sudden transformation into a giant insect.

A Kafkaesque situation is a nightmarish one, and also strongly surreal, so in that sense, the options that relate the most to said expression are the ones that have to do with dream-like things, like the dystopian world and Gregor becoming an insect.

What is Lincoln’s use of figurative language in the gettysburg address?
In-s [12.5K]

1. “The Gettysburg Address” by Abraham Lincoln is remarkable through the use of rhetorical devices like allusion, antithesis, and tricolon.

2.This is a simile because MLK Jr. is comparing Justice rolling down LIKE water. He is also comparing righteousness like a mighty stream.

The impact of figurative language is to show the idea that everyone should be free.

The figurative language gives visual picture on what desegregation would look like.

Figurative Language in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Speech

"Let Freedom Ring"

"Let freedom ring" is a repetition because "Let freedom ring" is repeated throughout the speech.

In Loving Memory:

This means that Justice will be like a mighty stream and will be everywhere.

"Let Freedom Ring" means let freedom be everywhere.

Impact of figurative language

"Until Justice Rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream"
