Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

A simile is when a direct comparison is made between dissimilar things using "like" or "as". This literary technique is used to provide a more detailed and understandable description of the concerned elements/things.

The given quote is from Act I scene iii of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Spoken by the Nurse, the quote is from when the Nurse revealed to Lady Capulet about Juliet's childhood incident where she had fallen and hit her forehead. This resulted in a big bump on the forehead, which the Nurse admits is <em>"a bump as big as a young cockerel's stone."</em> The use of the comparison word "as" makes it a simile, where the bump is compared to a rooster's testicle.

Thus, the correct answer is a simile.

He also says that he and she will walk among the grass, and together they'll pluck the "silver apples of the moon" and the "golden apples of the sun" until the end of time

. What is Sarah Jewett suggesting when she writes about Sylvia's increasing attraction to the hunter in "A White Heron"?
qaws [65]
I think the answer is that Sylvia is experiencing falling in love. She is extremely attracted to the hunter, and might be actually falling in love with him, but the important thing here is that she doesn't follow her physical attraction, she follows her philosophical learnings.
