Sonnet 19 is one of the more than a hundred sonnets published by William Shakespeare in 1609.
It is considered a typical Shakespearean or English sonnet because of:
-The use of three quatrains (a stanza or poem consisting of four lines) followed by a couple (two successive lines that rhyme and have the same metre). Here is an example of a rhyming couple from Sonnet 18
<em>So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
</em>
<em>So long lives this and this gives life to thee.</em>
-It follows the typical rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg
-The widespread use of iambic pentameter based on five pairs of metrically weak/strong syllabic positions. For example, "<em>But I forbid thee one more heinous crime"</em> (19.8).
The answer is B.Round. A round character is a complex character that often undergoes change and character development. While round characters are often main characters, this is not always the case and therefore the answer cannot be A, C or D.
Answer:
- <u>Peak</u> is the word that best accomplishes the sentence.
- '<u>Climbing for hours</u>' is the context clue that supports the above answer.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence would be 'peak' as it appropriately goes with the context. The word 'peak' <u>implies 'end or top of anything' which is contextually relevant</u> to the meaning of the sentence implying that 'the hikers finally reached the top(of the mountain) after hours of arduous efforts in climbing it<u>'</u>. Thus, the other two words become insignificant(contextually).
<u>Context clues are described as the hints or clues that are provided by the author in order to assist the readers to determine the meaning of an unusual word</u>. These clues usually involve synonyms, antonyms, explanation, etc. Thus, the phrase 'climbing for hours' functions as the explanatory context clue that defines the hikers approach to reach at the top i.e. 'peak'.
