Four feet in a line of poetry, six feet in a line of poetry, etc. is talking about the meter. Therefore, hexameter is a six feet line of poetry. Tri- would be three, and octo- would be 8. Rhyme is repetition in sounds. The differences between true and slant: slant means the lines end in similar, but NOT IDENTICAL sounds whereas true would be identical. Rhythm is the stressing of syllables. Syllable is a word or part of a word, and to mute would be to soften.
Answer:
"He was the finest young man that she had ever seen, he had given her three golden apples, and he had risked his life to win her."
Explanation:
The Greek mythology of Atalanta tells the story of the human huntress who was so adamant about being victorious over everyone and staying unmarried forever. But when Hippomenes came and participated in the competition for her hand in marriage, she 'intentionally' let him win so as to be married to him.
In the given excerpt, Atlanta was kept distracted by Hippomenes by using the three magical golden apples given by Aphrodite. Though distracted by the golden apples, she was also a bit interested in Hippomenes that she did not mind letting him win. She observed,<em> "He was the finest young man that she had ever seen, he had given her three golden apples, and he had risked his life to win her."
</em>
Thus, the correct answer to the question is the third option.
Sports have ALWAYS played a BIG impact on America.
Basketball, Football, who am I kidding, it's what brings us ALL TOGETHER.
We all bond with one another when we get together to watch the Super Bowl; cheering, hugging, happiness, hope. Those are all the expressions and emotions we share with one another. Without the sports and their games, our country would not be as a family as much as WITH the sports and their games. We all look FORWARD to something when a new game comes up, and they INSPIRE us. They INSPIRE US to go and become the new Lebron James. They INSPIRE US to make this country a proud family.

Answer:
Figurative language includes the use of figures of speech (metaphors, similes, allusions, etc.) to make the speech more effective and persuasive.
In Chapter 1 of <em>The Great Gatsby</em>, F. Scott Fitzgerald introduces the characters and the narrator, and establishes the setting. In doing so, he uses the following figures of speech:
- Hyperbole (an exaggerated statement or claim)
Jordan, while lying on the couch, says to Tom: <em>"I'm stiff. I've been lying on that sofa for as long as I can remember.
" </em>This is, of course, an exaggeration.
- Metaphor (reference to one thing/concept by mentioning another)
<em>"My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore."</em> Nick refers to his house as an eyesore (an ugly sight in a public place).
- Personification (giving human characteristics and traits to something that is not human)
<em>"The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person." </em>Nick, the narrator, personifies 'the mind', which detects certain qualities.
- Simile (comparison of two things by mentioning the similarities between them, usually through the use of words 'like' or 'as')
<em>
"Instead of being the warm center of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe." </em>Nick is not satisfied with his home after the war, and compares it to "the ragged edge of the universe."
