Answer:

Im leaning towards choice A.

Explanation:

Using the process of elimination, the answer could not be a simile due to the lack of "As" and "like" in the excerpt. Personification might not be the answer because the lonely man described in the text is a man, a person, and not an inanimate object. Let me know what the correct answer was!

The answer is: The personification makes the setting more vivid to the reader.

Figurative language is a nonliteral, metaphorical or symbolic choice of words,  and personification occurs when something nonhuman possesses human qualities, or when an abstract attribute takes human shape.

In the passage from "Morte d'Arthur," by Alfred Lord Tennyson, personification is used to offer readers a more forceful or powerful description of the scene. For example, <em>mighty bones, the wind-sea sang shrill</em> and <em>flakes of foam.</em>

Which sentences demonstrate correct use of commas with quotation marks?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

"Don't make me angry," Harry shouted, "or I'll really lose it!"

"You go look for Hagrid," said Hermoine.

Explanation:

In American English, these are the rules when it comes to the ways quotation marks and other punctuation marks are written:

  • Commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks <em>("You go look for Hagrid</em><em>,</em><em>" said Hermoine.)</em>
  • Dashes, colons, and semicolons almost always go outside the quotation marks.
  • Question marks and exclamation marks sometimes go inside and sometimes stay outside.

When you're splitting a quotation in half, you should add a comma after the speaker to separate the speaker from the second part of the quote <em>("Don't make me angry</em><em>,</em><em>" Harry shouted</em><em>,</em><em> "or I'll really lose it!").</em>
