Answer:

Hyperbole, Personification, and Alliteration.

Explanation:

The given quote is taken from the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and said by Juliet on the banishment of Romeo.

<u>The literary device thatt has been used in this quote is hyperbole, personification, and alliteration</u>.

Hpyerbole is a literary device that is used to exaggerate a point extremely. The word 'hyperbole'  is derived from Greek, which means 'excess.' So, this rhetoric device is used to make an exaggerated point.

<u>In this quote, this rhetoric device is used to exaggerate the point that the banishment of Romeo is like slaying ten thousand Tybalts, which means that Romeo's banishment was worse than the slaying of Tybalt</u>.

Alliteration is a rhetoric device in which the beginning of a word or phrase have same consonant sound. This device is used to highligh a point that the author is trying to make.

<u>In the given quote, the use of this device can be found in the consonant sound of 'that', 'banished', 'ten' and 'Tybalts.'</u>

Personification is the literary device that is used to attribute human characteristics to an inanimate objects or non-human things such as trees, clouds, animals, etc.

<u>In the given extract, personification is used by attributing the human characteristic of slaying to 'word.' 'that one word banished, hath slain slain.' Since a 'word' can not have the ability to 'slain' but it is attributing that the 'word' banished had slain ten thousand Tybalts</u>.

So, the correct answer is hyperbole, personification, and alliteration.

What statement best summarizes the argument the author makes in order to convince women to “adapt [themselves] to [their] husban
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

I would say the correct answer is D . Without her husband, a woman would lead a life of total misery.

Explanation:

In this passage, Jennings says that <u>both nature and "mankind" have made the man superior to his wife</u>. Some of his rights are "natural", others "acquired", but he has them all and his wife (obviously) none. It follows that a woman is utterly devastated if she chooses not to adapt and even submit to her husband.

This is not a general statement about avoidance of conflict. Nor is it about the man's social connections and influence - Jennings clearly thinks that man's power doesn't stem from social circumstances alone, but from nature too. It's not about women's education (or lack thereof) either. That part is not even mentioned.

One theme of twelfth night is that true love, with a little help from fortune, triumphs over man's folly.
emmasim [6.3K]

Theme 1: True love, with a little help from fortune, triumphs over man's folly.

<h3>What are the major themes of the twelfth nights?</h3>

The twelfth night's major themes are probably the difficulties of finding love and having it returned and identity, including gender roles and one's inherited social station.

It helps to stop discrimination and bring peace. Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy, and romantic love is the play's main focus. Despite the fact that the play offers a happy ending, in which the various lovers find one another and achieve wedded bliss, Shakespeare shows that love can cause pain.

In Act 2 of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, there are various plot points that are happening simultaneously. Sebastian is headed for Orsino's court, followed by a concerned Antonio.

Thus, Viola is leading her double life as Cesario, Orsino's page, and she has made Olivia fall in love with her.

The two components of a solution are solute and solvent. Which statement describes the solvent? A.it is liquid form in the solut
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The statement which describes the solvent is:

D. It is the component of solution in bigger quantity​.

Explanation:

The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solution. <u>The solvent, on the other hand, is the substance doing the dissolving.</u> Once the solute is dissolved, it breaks down into individual particles, which makes it impossible to distinguish it from the solvent. <u>The solvent is most commonly used in larger quantity than the solute. A simple example we can think of is when we make jello. We need to use a bigger quantity of water than of the jello powder. Water is the solvent, the powder is the solute.</u>
