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.

What is the effect of changing the story to present tense in the radio broadcast version?
Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is B. It makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past

Explanation:

In literature, the tense used in a narrative affect the atmosphere of it and the perception the audience has on events. In the case presented an excerpt for The War of the Worlds has been adapted for radio and in this process, the tense has changed from past to present tense. In both cases, one character who is also the narrator describes the way he or she observed an object or creature that resembled a snake.

However, in the case of the original excerpt the use of past shows this event already occurred and the character is just reporting them, while in the case of the second excerpt the use of present means the character is experiencing the events at that moment or that the story is happening which makes the actions go faster but also makes the story more dynamic and alive. Considering this, it can be concluded the effect of changing the tense to present is that it makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past.
