Excerpt of The Grapes of Wrath:
And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and

come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the
fruit-and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.
And the smell of rot fills the country.
The answer is A.

Answer:
Personification
Explanation:
This is a type of personification. Personification is like a figure of the speech in which the non-living things are present as living things such as human beings. This is an art in which non-human things are present as living things. Personification is the quality that presents the qualities, feelings, emotions, and sensation and the gestures with the help of metaphor.
Thus here the lines such as where far remote/ the moonbeam gloats carry a personification in its meaning.

Answer:
Mrs. Schachter kept screaming "fire" even though she was getting beaten for it because she had foreseen what will happen to them, the Jews. She is like a warning for what will be the fate of the people and how most of them will end up.
Explanation:
The memoir <em>Night </em>by Elie Weisel tells the story of how the Jews were discriminated against and treated inhumanely by the German Nazis. The book became one of the most read and first-person accounts of the horrors of the Holocaust, one of the greatest genocide in world history.
Mrs. Schachter and the captured Jews were stuffed into the cattle cars and transported to other camps for their imprisonment. She was with her ten-year-old son. Along the way, she began screaming <em>"Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire! [. . . .] This terrible fire. Have mercy on me"</em>. This happened not just once or twice but more than thrice. She was badly beaten up for causing panic among them and was even gagged. But she kept on shouting about the fire.
Her 'vision' of the fire seems to be the<u> foreshadowing of the fate of the Jews</u>. Most of them will be put in the chamber and burned. She seems to foresee what will happen to them. And even though she was beaten up for shouting and claiming she saw a fire, she kept on repeating her claim to warn them of their fate, which, unfortunately wasn't understood by the people at that time.
To refute something means to prove that something is not true, wrong, incorrect. So the answer would be none of those... I would choose B, it's close in meaning.
But id the questions ask what is the antonym, then the answer would be A.<span /><span />
