Answer:

He fills his English with Igbo language patterns and rhythm.

Explanation:

Achebe makes a strong use of Igbo words and expressions to create a new English and show how language and communication is a living organism, completely adaptable and innovative.

Igbo is one of the languages spoken in nigeria, which in itself is full of different adaptations, dialects and accents. Using this language together with the English language, the author questions the supremacy of the English language and raises the importance of other languages.

Answer:

I believe that the correct answer is the third one: <em>arrogance</em>. The phrase <em>growing feathers</em> represents arrogant tone in the speaker.

Explanation:

When reading that particular line: "<em>These growing feathers plucked from Caesar's wing / Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,</em>" we can feel the arrogance in the tone of the speaker. Specially, when reading the word <em>plucked</em>, like the feathers were stolen from Caesar, like he feels proud of it. It represents an arrogant tone in FLAVIUS.

Is this an imagery question Safe and sound like a hibernating bear waiting for winter to pass
kodGreya [7K]

lol

Imagery is when a sentence has descriptive details that help you see what the author wrote.

Example: The frail girl crept through the dark, dusty hallway. Her bare feet blue from the cold, stone floors.

so i would say that the sentence you provided was using imagery :)
