The phrase "the lamplight gloated o'er" is an example of personification.

In literature, personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristic to something non-human. In the phrase, a lamplight is <em>gloating</em>, which, according to the dictionary, is to "dwell on one's own success or another's misfortune with smugness or malignant pleasure." Clearly, a lamp cannot gloat, hence it is being personified.

Answer:

Explanation:

When New York State recently marked the 100th anniversary of its passage of women’s right to vote, I ought to have joined the celebrations enthusiastically. Not only have I spent 20 years teaching women’s history, but last year’s Women’s March in Washington, D.C. was one of the most energizing experiences of my life. Like thousands of others inspired by the experience, I jumped into electoral politics, and with the help of many new friends, I took the oath of office as a Dutchess County, New York legislator at the start of 2018.

So why do women’s suffrage anniversaries make me yawn? Because suffrage—which still dominates our historical narrative of American women’s rights—captures such a small part of what women need to celebrate and work for. And it isn’t just commemorative events. Textbooks and popular histories alike frequently describe a “battle for the ballot” that allegedly began with the famous 1848 convention at Seneca Falls and ended in 1920 with adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. For the long era in between, authors have treated “women’s rights” and “suffrage” as nearly synonymous terms. For a historian, women’s suffrage is the equivalent of the Eagles’ “Hotel California”: a song you loved the first few times you first heard it, until you realized it was hopelessly overplayed.

A closer look at Seneca Falls shows how little attention the participants actually focused on suffrage. Only one of their 11 resolutions referred to “the sacred right to the elective franchise.” The Declaration of Sentiments, written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and modeled on the U.S. Declaration of Independence, protested women’s lack of access to higher education, the professions and “nearly all the profitable employments,” observing that most women who worked for wages received “but scanty remuneration.

Answer:

Most people prefer lies to the truth.

Explanation:

The speaker of this poem most likely would agree with the statement that most people prefer lies to the truth. In these lines, the speaker tells us that his "love" tells him some lies. She lies because she thinks he will not know the truth. However, he knows that she is lying. Nevertheless, he does not think this is a serious problem, because he lies as well, and most people prefer to hear lies than hear the truth. This allows them to have a peaceful relationship.

________ definitions are subject to individual interpretation.<br> A. Denotative <br> B. Connotative
antiseptic1488 [7]
Connotative definitions are subject to individual interpretation.  

Connotative meanings are meanings using different figures of speech or symbolism that the person still needs to think it over before knowing the actual meaning of the word, sentence or story. Denotative meanings which are meanings explicitly given to the readers or the person being told to. In this type of meaning, the person doesn’t need to think the words too much or ponder on the meaning because they could easily understand what the other person or the author implies. <span> </span>
