Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. stoic-songbird.

Explanation:

A kenning phrase consists of two words combined, usually by means of a hyphen, that function as a metaphorical description. Kennings are a tradition from Anglo-Saxon poetry. For instance, in the famous epic poem "Beowulf", the compound expression "battle-sweat" is used to refer to blood. Battle-sweat is thus a kenning, a phrase that metaphorically describes blood.

In the sentence we are studying here, we have a compound expression in "stoic-songbird." It is the combination of two words used to metaphorically describe a musical instrument. We could substitute it for the word "piano", for example. As we can see, using kennings helps embellish descriptions - stoic-songbird sounds more melodious than the word piano itself.

In 150 words or more, offer tips to giving a successful speech. Use details from President Kennedy’s speech and from other parts
ra1l [238]
To give a successful speech you need to know what you are talking about and you need to support the thing your giving a speech about. You must know all the facts of whatever it is, otherwise, you will look like a fool and your speech will fail. If you are not passionate about the topic you give a speech about you won't be able to express feelings and just simply be stating something, this is not good because speeches are supposed to open people's minds and hearts and if your not passionate about it how could you expect to make someone else care? Lastly, you need practice. Practice, practice, practice. This will help you know how to say your speech, prevent slip ups, and gain confidence.

Those are my tips for giving a successful speech.

Hope it helped. Have great day!
