Answer:

Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips.

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device in which human characteristics are attributed to something non-human. It is present in the following sentence: <em>Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips. </em>

Ferns are plants. When someone mentions fingers and fingertips, we usually think about human hands. Ferns can't have fingers. The writer is talking about their leaves but uses personification to compare them to fingers, this way giving them a human trait.

Makes the reader wonder what "doesn't love a wall."

Answer: Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

This line has been taken from the poem "Mending wall". In the line The fact that the speaker does not specify what, precisely, is the "Something" that "sends the frozen-ground-swell" under the fence could mean that the word something refers to nature, as another educator suggested, or even God.  The word "sends" in line two implies that the sender has a will, a conscious purpose, so it seems logical to consider the possibility we should attribute such a sending to a higher being.

Further, in the lines which follow the first two, this "Something" also "spills" the big rocks from the top of the fence out into the sun and "makes gaps" in the fence where two grown men can walk through, side by side (lines 3, 4).  These verbs are also active, like "sends," and imply reason and purpose to the one who performs the actions.  Therefore, it is plausible that the "Something" which sends "the frozen-ground-swell"—freezing the water in the ground so that the ground literally swells and bursts the fence with the movement—"spills boulders," and "makes gaps" refers to God.

viva [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The quote simply means that if one invests for a year, the person will get rice; if the person invests for ten years, he or she will get trees and for hundred years, the investment will yield people when contribute positively to the growth of the society.

The quote means that education takes time. It's not an investment that yield instant result like that of rice in a year. An example is when one has to go through nursery, primary, secondary or high school and later go to higher institution for their B.Sc programe. Even some go further for their Masters and PhD programmes. This shows that investing in education takes a longer period but it's definitely worth it.
