Answer:

Metaphor - charcoal gown, her four years of school had reached the final chapter

Simile - placed the cap on her head like a crown

Onomatopoeia - cracked

Personification - the words leapt off the paper, time had flown by

Oxymoron - bittersweet

Alliteration - celebrating her success as a star student, she would also be saying so long; mentioned many of the marvelous memories they made

Explanation:

All of these terms refer to different figures of speech.

Metaphor and simile are both used to compare two things. A metaphor compares things that aren't too similar but have something in common (charcoal gown - a gown as dark as charcoal). This comparison is more subtle than a simile, which involves the use of words like and as (place the cap on her head like a crown).

Onomatopeia is a word that sounds just like the thing it is describing. In the given passage, this is the word cracked.

Personification is the attribution of human characteristics to something non-human (words leaping off the paper, time flying by).

Oxymoron refers to a combination of contradictory words (bittersweet is an example of one word oxymoron).

Alliteration is the repeated use of words that begin with the same sound (mentioned many of the marvelous memories they made).

Iambic feet have _____. a. four beats b. two beats c. one beat d. three beats

Black_prince [1.1K]

Iambic feet have two beats. A "beat" would be an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. You can hear a "beat" in the way the emphasis is placed on the unstressed versus the stressed syllables. Iambic feet go on to make a variety of poetic styles, such as iambic pentameter. Hope this helps.

This passage reads like a script for stage or film.

The medium that would best interpret this passage would be film.

1) Camera focus in on Mrs Peters' eyes slowly turn to meet Mrs Hale's eyes.

2) Mrs Hales' eyes moving to spot the hidden box.

3) Sound of a knob turning with camera showing closeup of knob turning

Panning in & out on eyes and knob is best achieved through use of a camera in film.

Propensity score matching (1:2) was used to create balanced cohorts for two conditional logistic regression models; one examining the impact of an older sister’s teenage pregnancy and the other analyzing the effect of the mother’s teenage childbearing.
