Answer:

Explanation:

She is pious, brave, and loyal to her family. Upon returning to Thebes and learning that Creon has forbidden anyone from giving her brother, Polynices, a proper burial, Antigone decides to bury him herself. Rather than doing so in secret, Antigone is proud of her actions and readily claims responsibility. She accuses Creon of impiety and asserts the superiority of the so-called unwritten laws of the gods over the laws of men. Faced with execution, Antigone exclaims that she can die happily knowing that she preserved Polynices’s dignity in death.

Read this excerpt from A Room of one's Own by Virginia Woolf:

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:
B. Women have been held back by men’s view of what they can do.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, at the beginning of the 20th century, when the book was written, society still was very unequal and men didn’t believe in women’s independence. Fathers didn’t have high hopes and expectations for their daughters: instead of wanting them to study, have money of their own and a career, they preferred them to stay at home with their families until they met someone and got married. This why the society was strongly patriarchal. Power was given to men in most areas of life and women were given the role of homemakers.

What literary device is being used in the following quote: “That ‘banished,’ that one word ‘banished,’ / Hath slain ten thousand

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Hyperbole, Personification, and Alliteration.

Explanation:

The given quote is taken from the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and said by Juliet on the banishment of Romeo.

The literary device thatt has been used in this quote is hyperbole, personification, and alliteration.

Hpyerbole is a literary device that is used to exaggerate a point extremely. The word 'hyperbole' is derived from Greek, which means 'excess.' So, this rhetoric device is used to make an exaggerated point.

In this quote, this rhetoric device is used to exaggerate the point that the banishment of Romeo is like slaying ten thousand Tybalts, which means that Romeo's banishment was worse than the slaying of Tybalt.

Alliteration is a rhetoric device in which the beginning of a word or phrase have same consonant sound. This device is used to highligh a point that the author is trying to make.

In the given quote, the use of this device can be found in the consonant sound of 'that', 'banished', 'ten' and 'Tybalts.'

Personification is the literary device that is used to attribute human characteristics to an inanimate objects or non-human things such as trees, clouds, animals, etc.

In the given extract, personification is used by attributing the human characteristic of slaying to 'word.' 'that one word banished, hath slain slain.' Since a 'word' can not have the ability to 'slain' but it is attributing that the 'word' banished had slain ten thousand Tybalts.

So, the correct answer is hyperbole, personification, and alliteration.
