Answer:

Two devices that are being used in the lines are:

C. repetition

D. rhyme/rhythm

Explanation:

Repetition is a literary device consisting of repeating the same word or phrase for emphasis or clarity. Repetition can appear in both prose and poetry, and it can also be a rhetorical device. In the lines we are analyzing here, the phrase "I'm growing" is repeated at the beginning of each line:

I'm growing fonder of my staff;

I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;

I'm growing fainter in my laugh;

I'm growing deeper in my sighs;

Rhyme is a correspondence of sounds between different words. In the lines above, we have a rhyme scheme of ABAB, that is, "staff" rhymes with "laugh" - lines 1 and 3 -, and "eyes" rhymes with "sighs" - lines 2 and 4.  

As for rhythm, I believe we have an iambic tetrameter - a four time repetition of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Take a look below:

I'm growing fonder of my staff;

When you read an article, why should you always analyze the source of the information?
Vanyuwa [196]
It is important because the sources tell you whether the article was credible. When you have an article that has bad source, you are running the risk of having, wrong, opinionated data. This can discredit you paper if you use it.

5.<br> To confirm your understanding, write a summary of “The Feather Pillow."
uysha [10]

"The Feather Pillow" begins with a blond, young girl named Alicia, who had just recently been newly wed three months prior, in April, to an impassive man named Jordan. The young couple had moved into an almost empty house, which had little services to offer his housebound wife. Day by day, with little to do at home to keep her occupied, Alicia would occupy her time by waiting for her husband's arrival every evening. Soon, however, as seasons changed to autumn, the young girl contracted a mild case of influenza and began to feel languid. As the days followed, her symptoms did not subside, but became even worse. One day with the aid of her husband at her side, Alicia was able to walk around her garden, but unfortunately that was the last day. The following day she was too weak to even get out of bed. The doctors were summoned; unsure of the cause of her deteriorating condition they prescribed rest. The next day arrived, and Alicia's efforts to get out of bed were apparently becoming fruitless. Hallucinations began to plague her thoughts, which made the complications even worse. All that her worried Jordan could do was pace the floor frantically up and down by her bedside begging the doctors to save his wife's life. But with no prevail, the enigmatic doctors could not figure out what was wrong with poor Alicia. With no cure for Alicia's illness, the young wife died two days later. Preparing to wash Alicia's bed-sheets, the servant noticed two small, dark bloodstains. Trying to raise the pillow to the light to further investigate her findings, the heavy weight of the pillow caused it to crash on to the floor. Jordan picked up the pillow and placed it on the dining room table, where he sliced it in half. Beneath the feathers, there was a large parasite with a large proboscis. Within a period of only five days and five nights, this normally small parasite had made a feast of Alicia's blood, and had caused the newly wedded wife to die abruptly.
