<span>B. Metaphor
A metaphor is a comparison of two things without using like or as. In these lines, Helena is being compared to a spaniel. She is saying that no matter how poorly she is treated by Demetrius, she is devoted to him.
Imagery is a vivid description that appeals to the senses. Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like its meaning. Boom, crack, hush all are onomatopoeias.
Personification is giving non-human things human-like traits. The tree branches waved in the wind is one example. </span>
Let's break down the sentence word for word:
- The = article
- children = noun (subject)
- excitedly = adverb (modifies the verb "talked")
- talked = verb
- about = preposition
- the = article
- fun = noun
- of = preposition
- fishing = noun
There's only one adverb and it is "excitedly" which modifies the verb "talked". It describes how the children talked. There are no adjectives in this sentence.
If the sentence said "they talked excitedly about big fish" then the word "big" would be the adjective that describes the noun "fish"; ie it elaborates more on the fish.
