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.

Answer: The website address.

In a citation for an essay, this is the section where the website address should be located. The title of the speech and the name of the website have already been included. Citing your sources properly is one of the most important skills when writing an academic essay. Citations make it easier for people to check your primary sources, whether to corroborate your claims, or to learn more about a topic. It also makes your paper more credible.
