Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the B) Consonance.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that the quote provides the best example of consonance because it involves the repetition of similar consonant sounds - hu<em>ge</em>, spon<em>ges</em>, <em>grow</em>th, hei<em>ght</em>, and li<em>ght</em>. Options A and C are incorrect, since alliteration involves the repetition of the first consonant sound in a series of words, and onomatopoeia is the naming of a thing imitating the sound that is associated with it (i.e. buzz). The quote does feature rhyme, or the repetition of words at the end of each sentence that sound similarly ("height" and "light"), but the quote does not provide the best example of that device.

Answer:

Situational irony.

Explanation:

Irony is saying one thing but meaning quite the opposite. It is mostly used for a humorous effect.

There are different types of ironies- <u>dramatic irony, situational irony, verbal irony</u>, etc. And the given example is situational irony.

Situational irony is when the situation is opposite to what is meant. Likewise, Chef Kylie may be a professional chef, proven by his signature dish, triple-dipped chip steak. This means he's good at cooking meat. But at the same time, he is a vegan, meaning his profession and personal lifestyle are opposite. It is ironic for he is a vegan who loves and is an expert in cooking meat.

Which of these statements best summarizes the events that take place in the land of the Lotus Eaters (Lotophagi) in Homer's Odys
Tpy6a [65]

Odysseus and his men encounter the land of the lotus eaters in Book Nine. Now, after being carried in the sea for nine whole days they land on Lotophagi on the the tenth day. Of course after all that time on sea, Odysseus and his men would grow hungry. So, before further continuation of their journey they ate. Soon after, Odysseus sent out three men to explore the island. Inevitably, they encounter the “Lotus-eaters,” who were the people of Lotophagi. They were rather kind and never wanted to cause harm. Now, again, the lotus-eaters ment harm to no man, so they offered Odysseus’s men a lotus. Although, the men of Odysseus had no knowledge that whomever ate the honey flavored fruit would no longer long to return home, or would no longer care for things that were once sacred to them. No, instead when one devoured the taste of a Lotus, they’d only crave for the taste of even more Lotus. Thus, after Odysseus men ate the Lotus, they forgot of their important mission; To return to Ithaca. Odysseus then has to force his onto their ship, so they can return home.


This short summary of what happened on the land the is called Lotophagi, proves that the correct answer to this question is b ) Some of Odysseus's men taste the lotus fruit and refuse to leave the island. Odysseus takes them back to the ship by force.
