Well we can look at this question and eliminate Rhetorical Question due to the fact the excerpt above isn't asking anything. We can also eliminate an allusion because this is not an allusion it is a dream. We can then eliminate Logo's because it is a Greek word meaning logic. Pathos makes no sense because there is not pity or sadness involved. So the only option left is A)Ethos. I hope this helps
The figurative language used in the excerpt is a simile. It adds to the characterization because it compares <span>the mother as a calm/silent person.
-Hope this helps.</span>
Although no options are added to the question, but there are basically four features that are present in lyric poetry and which distinguishes it from other forms of poetry:
1. They are usually short length
2. They always have a musical quality
3. They express personal thoughts and feelings of the speaker
4. They are always from a first-person point of view
I believe your answer is C. If I'm wrong, then my apologies.
