Answer:

The line from the novel that is an example of amplification is <em>C: "It was wretched weather; stormy and wet, stormy and wet; mud, mud, mud, deep in all the streets."</em>

Explanation:

Let's remember that <em>amplification</em> in literature is a device that authors use in order to <u>embellish a sentence by adding more information to a fact that could have been missed by the reader otherwise.</u> The objective of this device is <em>to increase the readability and worth of the statement.</em> In this particular case, the  speaker says "<em>it was wretched weather</em>", he could have left it there, but instead he added that it was "<em>stormy and wet</em>", not only he adds this, he also repeats to stress the idea of the bad weather: "<em>stormy and wet; mud, mud, mud, deep in all the streets.</em>" He even expresses it in a kind of poetic way, he embellishes the sentence by doing this, and that is exactly the meaning of amplification.

The school letter has been excelling in academic work.​

Dear friend,

Hey ( so and so) our high school has been excelling tremendously in our academic work. We have tutors and extra help at lunch in the library. We even have students from colleges come in and help us with any subject we need help in. They even tell us not to have late work because, in the end, we can have dances and pep rallies. This works because believe it or not ( so and so ) nobody has bad grades due to studying and no late work turned in. We're on top of our work and most of us are ahead of the class.

sincerely
