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.

Answer:

Cuban Missile Crisis- Sub incident

How it impacted my day to day life: I probably wouldn't be born.

October 27, 1962: A aircraft was shot down by the Soviets while over Cuba, killing its pilot, causing tensions to escalate to their highest point.

Later, a Soviet submarine was detected trying to break the blockade that the US Navy had established around Cuba. In response the destroyer USS Beale dropped fake warning torpedoes an attempt to make the submarine surface.

But while the action was designed to encourage the Soviet submarines to surface, the crew of B-59 had been incommunicado and so were unaware of the intention. They thought they were witnessing the beginning of a third world war. The captain of the sub, Valentin Savitsky, thought the submarine was under attack and ordered to prepare the submarine's nuclear torpedo to be launched at the aircraft carrier USS Randolf.  

All three senior officers aboard the B-59 had to agree to the launch before it happened. Fortunately, the B-59's second in command, Vasili Arkhipov, disagreed with his other two counterparts, and convinced the captain to surface and await orders from Moscow.  

Had it been launched, the fate of the world would have been very different: the attack would probably have started a nuclear war which would have caused global devastation, with unimaginable numbers of civilian deaths.

Which statement best expresses the connection between the supporting details and the key ideas in a memoir?
sdas [7]
Since statements are not stated, it is the <u>supporting details are what complements an idea. </u>

Ideas are the key elements of the story and the details that support them. <span>Idea is among the six traits that are very necessary to follow for effective writing. The ideas of the story contains the main message  and the concept of the story. It is also made up of all the other supporting details that develop the theme of the story. A good writer prefers details that are very interesting and informative and not the obvious ones. The writer must repeat what the reader already knows. It is always an edge to be able to convey an idea in the most unique and extraordinary way. </span>
