Which literary device has been used in the underlined line? "Or the sun slumbers in the ocean’s arms"

2 answers:

7 0

The answer is C: Personification because the sun is given human-like qualities ("slumber").
It can't be A because a simile compares two things using "like" or "as".
It can't be B because imagery refers to the senses. The sentence isn't very.. descriptive.
It can't be E because nothing is being exaggerated in any way.
I'll be completely honest and say that I haven't learned about synecdoche yet, haha.

Match the lines in the poem with the themes they represent.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

There passed, as a shroud

A fleecy cloud,

And I turned away to thee, - The night is changeable

I gazed awhile.

On her cold smile;

Too cold—too cold for me— - Moonlight can be uninviting

And dearer thy beam shall be;

For joy to my heart

Is the proud part

Thou bearest in Heaven at night, - Stars evoke wonder

Explanation:

In this poem, "Evening Star" by Edgar Allen Poe, a fleecy cloud passing by the moon at night changes the view of the speaker. His gaze falters and he turns away from the "cold smile" of the moon to look at the evening star. This could represent how the night is changeable in its views, how things are constantly moving and changing- every slight passing of a cloud, variation in the moonlight, appearance of the stars, their positions, etc. It could also represent how the changing night changed the speaker's gaze.

The speaker doesn't connect to moon well and calls her smile "cold", "too cold," and despite it being brighter than the stars, calls her moonlight "pale" and "lowly." He describes the moon as residing among her "slaves"- the planets, and presents the moon in an image of coldness and arrogance. Hence, moonlight, for him, is uninviting.

The speaker's heart is filled with joy when he looks at the evening star. He says that the beam of the star is "dearer" to him even if it is so far away. His affection towards it is all the more because of the distance, despite which its light reaches him, and the significant part the star has in the night sky or the "Heaven," according to him. He admires and prefers its "distant fire." All this adds to the sense of how the stars evoke wonder by the virtue of their light, distance, position and personal significance to the speaker.

How do I thank you for the help?

kolbaska11 [484]

As for this question, when you want to thank someone for the help, it all depends on how that someone has helped you and if the manner that you were helped would also come in as a factor.

When there is immediate contact between the helper and the one being helped, the most direct way to thank someone is to vocalize it and say it to that person that gratitude that you wanted to express. Other ways would be to return the favor to that person. Most people prefer them to be of equal or more than the value of the help given at the moment. If there is no such available way, then what others tend to do is to remain in debt for that person. So when the time comes that the person needs help, they can readily assist and offer the help they needed.

List four things to look for when you're proofreading

dezoksy [38]

Spelling. Word choice. Consistency. Style. 

When you proofread (which is different from editing, by the way), you’ll really just be going over your writing for small mistakes/typos that may have slipped by you earlier in the writing process. Proofreading can be considered a type of “polishing up,” if you will, of a document before it is finalized. You’ll be on the lookout for little errors such as spelling errors and misused words/word choice—words that spell check may have missed because spell check generally only catches misspelled words, not correctly spelled words used incorrectly such as “their” when “there” should have been used or “two” when “too” should have been used.

Additionally, when we are writing/typing, typically, our minds work more quickly than do our fingers. Thus, our fingers may miss words we intended for them to type. Too, our minds are such powerful things, if we read over our work too soon after typing, we’ll read our writing as we intended for it to be written, not as it actually is.

Other things to look out for are consistency and style. When looking for consistency, it is important to make sure you are using the correct verb tense throughout because when speaking, we tend to switch tense for effect, and it is easy to let our speaking mannerisms find their way into what we are writing.

On the topic of that, many of us often use clichés and figurative language when speaking, and this is something for which to be on the lookout when proofreading because we tend to speak figuratively in our daily lives so much so that when writing, we don’t even know we are doing it, and in academic writing, it is always best to be as literal as possible.

Which detail provides specific evidence to develop the authorâ€™s claim in the passage? excerpt from ""Shoes: Feet First!"" from

Zigmanuir [339]

A detail which provides specific evidence to develop an author's claim is the proof which backs up the claim of a person and validates their claim by making use of either:

Statistical data
Figures
Scientific reports, etc

A supporting detail or evidence is important as it helps to provide evidence which shows that a claim is valid.

For example, if a person states that America has more blacks than Hispanics, he would have to bring statistical data from a trusted source to prove his claim.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to get a better understanding of the concept.
