<span>A. Fountain
The words the author uses (including the actual word 'fountain') represent how bubbly and lively the bobolinks are. The words 'gushing' and 'gurgling' are sounds a fountain makes, and when the author says the birds are 'pouring forth floods of sweet notes' it is like the way a fountain pours out water. </span>
Answer:
The excerpt that is an example of zeugma is:
C. [H]e went down under an exceptional burden, more than 20 pounds of ammunition, plus the flak jacket and helmet and rations and water and toilet paper and tranquilizers and all the rest, plus the unweighed fear.
Explanation:
<u>Zeugma can be defined as a literary device that uses one word to refer to different things in different ways.</u> For instance, let's take the verb "run". When we say "run out the door," we are using the verb in a literal way. However, when we say "run out of time," the verb is being used in a different way, since this time it does not indicate the action of rapidly moving from a place to another by using your legs. Thus, if we use "run" in both ways at the same time, we have an example of zeugma: He ran out of time and out the door.
Having that in mind, we can easily see that we have a zeugma in option C, where the word "burden" is used to refer to the literal burden of carrying heavy things and the figurative burden of fear.

- Ethnocentrism.
Explanation:
'Ethnocentrism' is defined as the disposition in which an individual perceives the world through his own cultural point of view which is considers as the standard for evaluating and deducing all the other cultures. Such perspective is often considered biased or prejudiced as one is greatly influenced by his culture that makes him overlook the positives of other cultures.
As per the question, Abigail's attitude would be regraded as 'ethnocentrism' as she criticizes German culture as she perceives the world through the American(cultural) perspective(as a standard) and judges the German culture on the basis of her standard cultural perception. Thus, her attitude would be characterized as '<u>ethnocentrism</u>'.
