Answer:

The figurative language used in the stanza is: alliteration.

Explanation:

Alliteration is a literary device that repeats consonant sounds at the beginning of words that are close to each other in a structure. A simple example would be a well-known tongue twister: She sells seashells by the seashore (the /s/ sound is repeated).

In the stanza we are analyzing here, alliteration takes place when the author repeats the sound represented by the letter "h":

<em>In the silence </em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>h</em><em>as </em><em>h</em><em>eard</em>

We have three words in a row beginning with the same consonant sound. Thus, we have an alliteration.

The stanza is an excerpt from the poem "The D.um.b Soldier," by Robert Louis Stevenson.

What type of modifier error is in each sentence? Type M for "misplaced" and D for "dangling". Then correct each sentence:
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Overeating, a weight problem was developed. D

The doctor examined the X-ray in the lab coat. M

Explanation:

As their name suggests, modifiers are used in a sentence to modify another word, giving further information about it.

A dangling modifier is a modifier that does not refer to anything specific in the sentence, which makes it ambiguous. In the sentence "Overeating, a weight problem was developed," we do not know to whom or what "overeating" refers. To correct it, we must specify the word it modifies. For example:

- Due to his overeating, a weight problem was developed. → "overeating" refers to "he" or "him"

A misplaced modifier is simply a modifier whose position in the sentence is too far from the word it modifies, which makes it ambiguous as well. To correct it, all we need to do is change its location. In the sentence "The doctor examined the X-ray in the lab coat," "in the lab coat" is misplaced. Let's correct it:

- The doctor in the lab coat examined the X-ray.

Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they
Gekata [30.6K]

Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they are made up of:

1) verb +  –ing form . This is called PRESENT PARTICIPLE and it has the function of an adjective (not a verb)

Example:  The singing bird is beautiful. The word “singing” modifies the noun “bird” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The bird that sings is beautiful.”

2) Verb+ ed / past participle form. This is called PAST PARTICIPLE and it has also the function of an adjective as it provides information or qualities of a noun.

Example: The wounded dog was crying all night. The word “wounded” modifies the noun “dog” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The dog which was wounded was crying all night”
