I think the correct answer would be:
<span>B: The poor, plague-ridden, residential areas of the town were shut off from the rest of the world.</span>
The quote is incomplete. It should read: "For language is arbitrarily produced by the imagination, and has relation to thoughts alone; but all other materials, instruments and conditions of art have relations among each other which limit and interpose between conception and expression. The former is as a mirror which reflects, the later as a cloud which enfeebles the light of which both are mediums of communication. Hence the fame of sculptors, painters and musicians...has never equaled that of poets..."
A Defence of Poetry- Percy Shelley
In my view the correct answer should be B: “and has relation to thoughts alone”.
The reason being that as Shelley explains later, he considers that language has a direct, unique and exclusive relation with thoughts. Logically, thoughts are a direct product of the imagination, whether they are spontaneous or a result of external stimuli, and if according to his logic language is intimately and exclusively related to them it follows that language comes from the imagination. For Shelley as a poet, because language comes directly from imagination without the mediation or interference of any kind, poetry is the purest form of art.
Answer:
Diction refers to the linguistic choices a writer makes to effectively convey an idea, a point of view, or tell a story. In literature, the words used by an author can help establish a distinct voice and style.Diction is the language a writer chooses to express an idea. The choice of words in a literary work is said to be diction. A work's diction develops one of its centrally significant literary elements. writers use the words to convey action, exhibit character, mention attitudes, recognize themes and intimate values.
The figurative language that is used by Mr Shiflet reveals that he is a character who is intelligent and wise. To be able to use an appropriate analogy requires knowledge and experience. This means that Mr Shiflet is old and has gone through a lot of things in his life.
