English
1 answer:
AlladinOne [14]2 years ago

Answer:

Connotation.

Explanation:

"Silence" poem is written by Marianne Moore. The poet speaks about the advice that the speaker's father has bestowed upon him/her in childhood. The advice given by the father was to be silent.

The literary device used in this line is connotation.

Connotation is the literary device which is used by the writer to suggest different meaning of the word than its literal meaning.

The word silence means willfully not expressing what one feels but restraint means a forceful suppression by which one is kept from speaking anything.

So, in the conclusive paragraph of the poem, the speaker is trying to say that her father is not teaching her to be silent, i.e., willfully not speaking but restraining her from speaking, meaning that even if she wants to speak she should keep silent.

So, the correct answer is connotation.

The boxed words are a compound subject.

In a sentence talking about people, the people are subjects of that sentence. Subjects are basically what is being talked about.

Because there are two people being talked about, Bob and Al, the subjects are counted as one, or compounded. This just means that you read the sentence as [Bob and Al] instead of [Bob] and Al.

Compound verbs follow the same concept, but for action words. For example, “to sing and to dance”. However, in this case since the boxed words are subjects, they are a compound subject.
