Answer:

B. “Can't see it,” Remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through <em>the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.</em>

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech that consists of giving human characteristics to nonhuman things, animals, concepts, ideas, etc. and which is often used to give readers new insights and make the writing more vivid. The line in bold from option B is an example of personification because it describes the “dank tropical night” as if it was a human by giving it the ability to press “its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.”

Which words from Shakespeare's "sonnet 73" create a gloomy tone??????????????????
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. "Fadeth" and "ruin'd."  

Fadeth is just the old English way to write fade, and the verb to fade has a slightly negative connotation. If something fades, it disappears and you no longer have it. Similarly, ruin'd (which obviously stands for ruined), has a clearly negative connotation - meaning that something is destroyed.  

So these two words give off the impression of a tone which is bad, sad, or gloomy, and therefore is the correct answer here.

Explanation:

Sad and gloomy. Words such as "expire," "death," and "ashes" give Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" which kind of tone? Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
