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;

pshichka [43]

Answer:

   The correct answer is "The dense throngs stood quiet as the first survivor stepped down the gangway."

Explanation:

The falling action is what we know in literature as the moment of calm after the greatest problem in the story when it has reached its peak (climax).

It always occurs after the climax and is when the problem should have been solved, or come to an end.

It is something that is usually found at the end of the story.

Given this information, we can say that the correct answer is: "The dense throngs stood quiet as the first survivor stepped down the gangway."
