C. Personification
At the end of these lines it says that the "taught gut vibrating hummed and sang a swallow's note". The cord is described as humming and singing. These are human qualities. Personification is giving a non-human thing human-like traits. A simile is a comparison of two things using like or as. There is no like or as in this at all so it is not correct. A metaphor is a comparison of two things without using like or as. 

C. the suitors

Them is a direct object. It is receiving whatever is being given. From the beginning of the sentence, we know that Penelope and her maids are the ones doing the actions of "walked" and "gave". This means they cannot be also receiving whatever is being given so the answer must be the suitors.

Romeo and juliet act 4 test
Damm [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

He will do this ritual every night for ever because of his love for Juliet. In the line, “Or, wanting that, with tears …,” the word “wanting” is used in the sense that “that” something is not there, but should be: if the “that” is not there, then the situation is “wanting” it. It’s an old-fashioned use of the word “want.” Nowadays, we don’t generally think of mere situations as being able to want anything. Another example of this is, “The boy gives me warning something doth approach. What cursed foot wanders this way tonight.”

This suggests that Paris does not want to be seen by Juliet’s grave because he is ashamed to have someone see him like this. The way the language is used portrays that he is nervous and in a hurry. He questions why anyone would be out this late at night. The word “Doth” is used by Shakespeare because it was relevant during the Elizabethan reign. “Doth” means “Do” in old English. Continuing his questioning, Paris says, “To cross my obsequies and true love’s rite? What with a torch! Muffle me, night, awhile.”

This implies that Paris is angry that someone has interrupted his “Obsequies” and “True love’s rite” because he wanted to be alone to grieve. He seems surprised that the person has brought a torch as he thought they would be more discreet. He sees that they would be able to spot him so he hurries away, hiding in the darkness for a while. The word “Muffle” suggests that Paris wants to be enveloped in the darkness. The effect on the audience is it creates tension.

The audience is eager to find out what happens to Romeo and what Paris will do to defend Juliet. After Paris watches Romeo for a while he declares, ”And here is come to do some villainous shame to the dead bodies. I will apprehend him.” This suggests that Paris supposes that Romeo means to continue the feud with the Capulets. Paris believes that Romeo has come to commit an awful crime against the dead bodies of the Capulets.

This would intensify the feud as the Capulets would assume that the Montagues did the crime therefore, creating conflict. To stop this Paris decides to catch Romeo. The word “Apprehend” shows that Paris is certain the Romeo is going to commit a crime. Apprehending someone is to arrest them
