Answer:
Quotation 1 contains a capitalization error.
Quotation 2 wrongly uses 'ellipses.'
Quotation 3 makes incorrect use of a comma.
Explanation:
The first quotation communicates a complete sentence and therefore, the first letter must be capitalized('The brave men') to make it grammatically correct.
In the second quotation, ellipses have been used incorrectly. It is a punctuation mark consisting of three periods('...') to indicate the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from the text. It communicates a complete idea but in this quotation, the idea is not completed after 'nation...' and therefore, the readers are not able to understand it.
The last quotation employs comma inappropriately succeeding the word 'finally' as the sentence is quite short and the use of comma unnecessarily breaks its meaning. There is no need for a comma here as the meaning is more clear and precise without using it.
Explanation:
Yesterday's prefect induction at XYZ School was carried out after a mini election at the school.
This mini election also prepared eligible student voters for the September elections.
We agree with school Principal Sir John when he said-^ triangleleft It a new initiative because we are having our national election this year. We wanted to empower students to independently think of those who they
wish to lead the school, the teachers don't have any say at all." Students nominated their own form captains and the whole school nominated six students to be school heads. They were given three weeks to campaign. They put up their own posters and organised classroom campaigns.
Every recess and lunch break they were given a chance to talk to students on why they should be elected as Head Boy or Head Girl. For these students becoming a prefect is a great way to end time at the school, and is a massive advantage for them in the future.
Research shows that many successful business people held positions of responsibility while they were at school, and school prefect looks great on anyone's curriculum vitae (CV).
For the voting students they listened to all campaigns by the aspiring six candidates for the top prefect posts - Head Boy and Head Girl. They were given the right to vote for the best candidate and there was no interefence from anybody.
The Head Boy, Roseru Naiwasetawa, admitted to the Fiji Sun that he had campaigned hard to get the top prefect post.
"My campaign team put up posters around the school telling the students of what I'll do for them if they vote for me as head boy of the school," he said
Don't you think other schools should follow LMS way in the selection of their head prefects next year? In many schools teachers select prefects and students have to accept their selection.
Surely students should have a say in the selection of their leaders because they would be their representatives to the teachers.

The answers will be as follows
1. purring kitten. Onomatopoeia. An Onomatopoeia is a word that has the same attribute as the sound associated with it. In this case, the word "purring" sound like the actual purr of a cat. Other example may be words that are used as sound effects like "Ding!".
2. playing people passed the pond. Alliteration. An Alliteration is the repetitive use of the initial sound to form a melodious or pleasant musical feel. In this case the initial sound of /p/ is used. This is common among poem writers and lyricists.
3. I know that goat odor. Assonance. This is a bit like alliteration which deals with musicality of a piece, but assonance is on the vowel that occur inside the words of the line, in this instance the sound that produces the melodic feel is the sound /o/.
4. <span>He looked at his totaled bicycle and said calmly, "It's just a scratch." Understatement. The speaker here uses an understatement of what happened, he is downplaying the incident. This is commonly used in writing stories, especially when the incident that happens to the speaker forces him to resign with the fact that it happened.
5. </span><span>Although the monarchy lacks formal power, he still respects the crown.
Metonymy. Metonymy is the use of a particular word to refer another term, event or person. In this case the speaker used the word crown to refer to the royalty. Other examples may be the white house, to refer to the US government.
6.</span><span> My computer is moody this morning. Personification. The device used here tries to personify the inanimate object. The computer which is an inanimate object was given a character of a human, which was being moody. Another example may be, My alarm clock starts my day by screaming at me.
7. </span><span>"Son, that finger painting is a masterpiece!" Hyperbole. The statement here is overstating the facts. Knowing the the child was the son of the speaker, and that it was a finger painting, which is a common activity of a child, it could be deduce as such.
8. </span><span>"This is wonderful," he said while looking at his totaled bicycle. Irony. The speaker here does not mean that his totaled bike is totally awesome, instead he means the opposite, which was this suck and now he has to either replace the bike, or go without it.
</span><span>9. Her smile is a breath of fresh air. Metaphor. Metaphor is the use of a term to describe a thing that is not related to it. A breath of fresh air would be oxygen, but a smile does not give that. But speaker here means that her smile is full of life and makes him feel happy.
10. </span><span>His disposition is as light as a marshmallow. Simile. Simile are comparisons of objects that uses the marker "like" or "as _____ as a". This is commonly used in most poetry, and often the first literary device a person learns to use.

I believe, honeysuckle and bees represent the little glimmer of hopes that the narrator felt to escape the toxicity in his house.
Whenever the father start yelling again, the beautiful view of honeysuckle and the sounds made by the bees will help the narrator to seclude all noises from the screaming father.
