Hello. Unfortunately, you did not present the speeches to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for me to answer you. However, I will try to help you as much as possible.
The only way to answer this question is to read both articles completely and understand the arguments and opinions presented by the authors. After doing these readings, you should identify the text that was most significant to you. It is likely that this is the text that you agree with the author's arguments, or that managed to provoke a strong reflection in you. Once you've identified this, you should look for which part of this text that made an impact on you and managed to make you choose it. This part is the text element that was meaningful to you.
The answer to the test is one of the following.
<h2>A</h2><h2>B</h2><h2>C</h2><h2>D</h2>
past is the correct answer!
Answer:
A.The fairy tale would rely more on plot events to express theme while the poem would emphasize key images or repeat key words or phrases.
Explanation:
A theme is the central message an article or literary work is trying to pass across.
A fairy tale is typically a story that involves magic and imaginary stuff that is usually written for children.
A poem on the other hand is a piece of literature that expresses ideas, thoughts and feelings with the use of literary devices for heightened effect.
Therefore, a fairy tale might express theme differently from a poem by using plot events to display theme while a poem would likely employ literary devices such as repetition, or emphasis on key images.
Answer:
It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework; it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.
A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."
An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.
Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.
