English

Answer:

She claims that the Empire State Building still has poetry beneath its surface, and it´s a source of inspiration, something beautiful and spiritual.

Explanation:

When asked about what he "saw" from the top of the then newly-opened, Hellen Keller, who was famously both deaf and blind since she was a child, wrote a letter (1932) describing her experience. There, she deems those who see the building as a symbol of American Materialism and vanity to be cynics and supersensitive souls, unable to appreciate the beauty of the building and how it symbolizes the efforts put into constructing it.

Which type of figurative language is used in this except from John Keats's "Ode on Melancholy"?
Rzqust [24]
I would say "personification" and it seems to be used in the following passages, "joy whose hand is ever at his lips, and bidding adieu", "turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips"," Veil'd melancholy has his sovran shrine" and finally " his soul shall taste the sadness of her might". So joy is personified as being a hand at lips, the mouth like a bee (local simile) that sips, melancholy is like a person that has his shrine, and a soul can taste sadness.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The correct answer is C. Returning to the text

Explanation:

In group discussions, returning to the text implies referring to the ideas of the text being discussed to clarify or explain one point. This includes reading aloud the original words in the text, which is useful to understand what the author intended or support an idea. This technique is the one Jennifer uses because to explain herself she reads or recites to original words of the text, in "Looking into space is like...." Thus, the technique used is returning to the text.
