The Declaration of Independence is non-fiction
"Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid" is an example of <em>D. personification.</em>
Personification is a literary device in which animals, objects or ideas are given human attributes. In this case, sorrow is given the ability to knock at someone's door, but as we know it is only a figure of speech because sorrow cannot knock at the door.
Answer:
The best source to learn more about the geography would be Option B) A detailed atlas of the Pacific Ocean and its islands.
Explanation:
The disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her plane has always been shrouded in mystery. It seems that poor preparation and poor visibility may have led to Amelia Earhart and Noonan running out of fuel about 100 miles off the coast of Howland Island where they were heading. Her last radio transmission was picked up at 7:42 AM on July 2, 1937: "We must be on you, but we cannot see you. Fuel is running low. Been unable to reach you by radio. We are flying at 1,000 feet." Another possibility is that they became plane wrecked on the Nikumaroro reef about 350 miles from Howland Island. Several excursions to the reef have turned up items suggesting someone was on the island like improvised tools and bits of clothing. There was even a bit of Plexiglas that could be from the window. The atlas would help to know the geography of this region.
