ion, oxymoron, and/or alliteration.
Richard drummed his fingers on the arm of the chair waiting for his name to be called. The whirring of the drills increased his anxiety, but he held his head high with a sort of cowardly courage. Richard brushed and flossed his teeth like clockwork to avoid the wrath of the dentist’s tools, so the news that he had four cavities certainly took him by surprise. He looked over to see the receptionist’s poppy red hair peeking up from the high desk. When her voice called out his name, he felt like he was sinking in quicksand. A polite, sad smile came across his face as he stood up for his appointment.

PLEASE HELP!! BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!
Vikentia [17]

Answer: in the first passage the author means lonely as the regular definition which is being alone. He talks about the flowers and things because he is having alone time admiring them. He also talks about how he usually go on this walk to admire plants. Also, he talks about how he is so alone that nature is pretty much his friend.

The second passage refers to being lonely as in the greatness in enjoying your imagination when your friends are not around. For example, boredom can be used as the way this passage describes being lonely. In the first stanza, the poet says that he was wandering lonely as a Cloud that floats on high o'er vales and Hills. The phrase refers to him being roaming around without any purpose. He was all alone like a cloud that floats high in the valley.
