Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

The speaker thoughts, (inanimate) is floating up like moths (animate) among branches of perfect trees all night long.

The speaker is deep in thoughts so much they suddenly developed wings and started floating as a kite would or in this case a moth among branches. These branches are also hindrances because it could get stuck in them, and because it got stuck, he had to do the thinking all night.

So far, there was no breakthrough in his thoughts.

Envision someone lying awake in bed all night and staring at the ceiling in the dark, left alone with troubled or pleasant thoughts.

Try not to antagonize the lion by shouting at it.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Create conflict

Explanation:

Based on the context clues from the sentence, we can narrow our answers down to two options: "create conflict", or "fight with". Avoid battle, set free, and accept a challenge are all illogical, as simply yelling at the animal would not lead to any of those results. With the root, prefix, and suffix meanings though, we can choose "create conflict" over "fight with". Agon means a struggle, which would allude to a conflict. Anti means against, or a struggle against the lion. Lastly, ize means cause, and with all of those put together, we get "Try not to cause struggle against the lion". This again alludes to creating a conflict amongst the lion and whoever the character is in this context. Therefore, our answer is "create conflict".
