1. The correct answer is <span>A) three quatrains and a rhyming couplet.
All of Shakespeare's sonnets have this structure - three quatrains (a stanza of four lines), and a couplet (a stanza of two lines). The other options are common for all sonnets, but only Shakespeare's sonnets are a bit different when it comes to stanzas.
2. The correct answer is </span><span>C) humorous and realistic.
The poet is talking about his loved one in a strange manner - he is describing her using unconventional words to express his love. He says that she is not beautiful, that she is actually quite the opposite of what a lady should look or behave like, but that he loves her nevertheless.
3. The correct answer is </span><span>B) metaphor.
Metaphor is a figure of speech in which you compare two or more things, but without using comparative words such as 'like' or 'as.' So here, the poet is comparing his loved one's hair with wires, alluding to their similarities.
4. The correct answer is </span><span>B) Some ducks, which were cute and fluffy, begged for food.
A is not correct because the way this sentence is written, it would seem that the table had a red-and-white checkered pattern, and not the cloth; C is incorrect because the way this sentence is written, it would seem the burner was boiling over, and not the sauce. </span>
Answer:

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.” “Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.”
Explanation:
Answer:
Passive
Explanation:
The passive form of writing a sentence structure, in which the subject receives the action, can be a good choice for being diplomatic in some contexts.
Definition
Active and passive voices are two forms of writing or describing a sentence. In active voice, the subject comes first and it states the action that is given by the verb in the sentence, whereas in the passive voice, the subject comes after the action of the verb.
Usage
Passive voive is usually used when addressing a public in general, to give a message not to an individual but is equally applicable to all and also acceptable to many.
One other area where passive sentence structure is used when someone has to indicate preference in the person/object that encounters an action than the person performing that action
The sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's <em>The Death of Ivan Ilyich </em>that shows that Ivan Ilyich's son is still innocent and uncorrupted is "His son had always seemed pathetic to him, and now it was dreadful to see the boy's frightened look of pity".
In this novella by Leo Tolstoy, Vasya, Ivan Ilyich's son, is presented as an uncorrupted character. <u>He is the one who actually feels sad for his father's suffering</u> before he dies at the end of the book. At the same time, Vanya is one of the few characters whom Ivan feels compassion for since <u>his son has not fallen into the trap of a society full of inauthentic people</u>. In other words,<u> Vanya is presented as a genuine and caring child: he remains innocent in a society where everyone is false. </u>
