Answer:
O By creating a specific description of the time and place.
Explanation:
In literature, the term "diction" is used to suggest the specific words/ linguistic choices that the author/writer uses in his work. This form is used to convey the type of setting, idea, theme, or point of view to tell the story.
This style of speaking or writing through the use of selective or some specific words helps in determining or defining the literary work. And while the setting is the geographical time or place where the story or event takes place, diction further helped in creating or specifying the description of the exact time or place.
Thus, the <u>correct answer is option b/ second option.
</u>
This is an excerpt from Sonnet 18 written by Shakespeare. If you know anything about Shakespeare's sonnets, you know that they always have a regular meter, which means that all of them are written in iambic pentameter. This means that the first syllable is unstressed, and it is followed by a stressed syllable.
So, when applied to this poem, just split the words into syllables - the first one will be unstressed (so, as, can, or, can), and the second one will be stressed (long, men, breathe, eyes, see).
(I took the penultimate line as an example)
Is this a multiple choice question with different phrases to choose from?
