Answer: Personification

Explanation:

On this current sonnet, personification is the figure on speech that's being used.

This literary concept refers to those writings in which the author presents non-human objects, such as animals, furniture or even an abstract idea, and gives them human characteristics in order for the reader to feel as if it was being talked about one (human).

Following Sonnet 10 as an example, we can see that the author is personifying death as if it was speaking to us personally, and asking not to be afraid from it.

Which sentences use correct pronoun case? Select two options. He thinks the culprit is Jimmy whom was at the store last night. W

Zina [86]

Answer:

"The program was written by Sara, who is an expert in her field."

"To whom should I talk to about the report?"

Explanation:

Who is a pronoun that represents the subject of a sentence:

Who would like to go to the supermarket?
Who built that castle?

Whom is a pronoun that represents the object of either a verb or a preposition:

To whom was the song dedicated?
Whom do you trust?
I am not sure with whom I will go to the concert.

By replacing the pronoun with he/she or him/her it is easier to realize its function:

Who/whom took my laptop?

He took my laptop (RIGHT) - him took my laptop (wrong)

So in this case, the correct pronoun to use is who.

Who/whom should I talk to about the issue with my boss?

I should talk to he (wrong) - I should talk to him. (RIGHT)

Here, the correct pronoun to use is whom.
