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.

Which statement best expresses how Prospero treats Caliban?
andre [41]

Answer: He treats him badly by cursing him with pains and behaving in a patronizing or superior manner toward him.

Explanation: Prospero treats Caliban as a slave. Caliban's speech states Caliban's point of view of his treatment by Prospero early on in the play, and the audience needs to keep this in mind throughout the remainder of it.
