Answer:

A. Epic poetry consists of one general form, whereas lyric poetry includes several specific forms, such as the sonnet.

Explanation:

An epic poem is the type of poetry that narrates the heroic deeds of a character(s). It is typically written in honor or praise of the character(s) and can be as long as a whole book. It also involves the presence of supernatural beings such as gods and monsters etc. Most common and famous epic poems are Homer's "The Illiad", John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Dante's "Divine Comedy" among others.

On the other hand, a lyric poem is where the verses are short and has a musical tone to it. They are different types of lyric poems, such as the sonnets and expresses personal emotions and feelings while also using the first person narrative voice. Examples of lyric poems are William Shakespeare's "Sonnets", "I Felt A Funeral In My Brain" by Emily Dickenson etc.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Compare and contrast these words: annihilate vs. decimate eradicate vs. massacre

Naddik [55]

Annihilate and decimate both mean to destroy something or someone, but annihilate means to destroy something as a whole, and at a bigger scale, while decimate doesn't have to mean destroying the whole thing.
Eradicate and massacre are both violent words with the intent to convey destruction, but eradicate is a more general term, as massacre is meant to simple destroy/kill a large group of people.

Is it A, B, or C? Giving brainliest to correct answers.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The word, if used to replace "quiet," in the given sentence "Then the people went to their beds, and the camp was quiet." would give this sentence a more negative tone is (B) Stifled.

"Then the people went to their beds, and the camp was stifled."

Explanation:

The word "Quiet" literally denotes a place which is void of noise. Here, in the given sentence, when the people who used to camp went back to bed, one should expect a calm and a peaceful atmosphere. During the bed time, no one will make such loud noises which will distract the people in the environment as everyone tend to take rest during night. The word "Quiet" denotes that type of environment too.

The word "Silent" is similar in meaning to the word "Quiet" and it generates a positive tone too. The word "Still" denotes the environment which is undisturbed by any external factors. Hence, the word "Still" also projects the exact nature of the environment. If we use the word "Stifled" in the above sentence, it refers to the environment which is generally constrained from doing something i.e., enforcing an order to do something. Here, the word "Stifled" creates a negative tone when replaced in the given sentence.
