The answer is D: ewish people, such as Kafka, were often persecuted and referred to as that word.

The German word that Kafka used in the opening lines of his novella was <em>ungeziefer, </em>which best translates into English as <em>vermin. </em>Kafka made sure that his character, Samsa, was not given a specific form, so that the reader would have to form an image of his character based on imagination and not description. A vermin can be considered a bug, like a cockroach, but it could also be considered a rat. The word was used to designate Jewish people in a very negative sense, as unwelcome within German public life (<em>lebensraum</em>). Later, after Kafka´s death, this word would become pervasive in all forms of anti-Semitic expressions before and during the rise of the Nazi party in Germany.

Answer:

10- Oxymoron

The words "safety" and "hazard" are right by each other and those are complete opposites so that is an oxymoron.

11- alliteration

The use of the b's at the beginning of a lot of the words is alliteration because it is the repetition of a similar sound at the beginning of the word. The only other one that it could be is consonance because consonance also repeats a sound, but only consonants and it is usually at the end of the word. Even though b is a consonant, I don't think it is consonance because the repetition appears at the beginning of the word.

12- Anaphora

This is anaphora because the word "singing" is being repeated in most of the clauses in order to place emphasis on it.

As you may know, adjectives are words that modify nouns, and adverbs are words that modify verbs.  When we look at the sentence, “The baby is very sleepy,” there is only one noun—“baby.”  And, there is only one verb—“is.”  When looking at the sentence closer, there are three adjectives—“The,” “very,” and “sleepy.”  “Very” can serve as either an adverb or adjective depending on what it is modifying.  In this particular case, however, because it is modifying “sleepy,” and “sleepy” is an adjective, “very,” too, is an adjective.  As such, the following in bold are correct:


Adjectives Choices-

A) the

B) baby

C) very

D) sleepy

E) none in this sentence  

Adverbs Choices-

A) baby

B) is

C) very

D) sleepy

E) none in this sentence  

Prepositional Phrases Choices-

A) baby  

B) is

C) very

D) sleepy

E) none in this sentence
