Answer: A) use of wit.
The metaphysical poets are a group of poets from the 17th century. They are loosely associated, and their writings differ greatly, so the commonalities among them are not obvious. However, one of the clearest ones is the use of wit. This can be seen in the metaphors they used. These metaphors, called <em>conceits</em>, are extremely creative, and at times comical or absurd. They also excelled in their use of wordplay.
Answer:
The word which signals a nonrestrictive clause in a complex sentence is:
B. which
Explanation:
We can eliminate the two last options since "while" and "yet" are not words that initiate restrictive or nonrestrictive clauses. They can be a part of them but are not essential.
We are left with "that" and "which", both having similar uses. However, "that" can be used with restrictive clauses, but not with nonrestrictive ones. That is the reason why we chose "which" as the correct option above. A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. A nonrestrictive clause is set off by commas, and the information provided by it can be taken out without any harm to the meaning or the message being conveyed. Take a look at the examples below:
- The clothes that I bought online must be delivered tomorrow. (restrictive)
- The clothes, which were donated by Jen, were impeccably clean. (nonrestrictive)
The answer is pathos, Since it has a sense of sadness
Hamlet wants to kill Claudius as he is having a discussion with his mother, Gertrude, however he accidentally kills Polonius instead. It is important that he finds him praying, because he holds back killing him because he does not want him to be killed while he is praying for his sins, because that would mean he is going to heaven. Hamlet wants him to go to hell. He decides to wait until Claudius commits another crime such as incest or heavy drinking.
