<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
1. English
Edmund Spenser is English. He varied the traditional Shakespearean English sonnet form by changing the rhyme scheme which creates couplet links that connect the quatrains together.
2. abab bcbc cdcd ee
Spenserian sonnets repeat the last rhyme as the first rhyme of the next quatrain. This continuation of a rhyme from quatrain to quatrain ties them together more than previous sonnet forms.
3. lasting love
The poet uses phrases like "endure for ever" and "naught but death can sever" to show how long love can last.
4. metaphor
He is comparing the burning oak to the patience it takes when wooing. He does not use like or as which would indicate a simile. Also, the oak is not being given human traits which is required for personification.
5. knot
He compares the depth of love to a knot so tightly tied and tangled that it cannot be undone.
The answer is C. Interrogative/Nominative
In that case the answer should be number 3.
I’d say A. noun clause since it’s the subject of the sentence and is describing a singular person (noun)
Ship - Union
Captain - Lincoln
Fearful trip - Civil War
prize - victory
Walt Whitman's elegy "O Captain! My Captain!" is an extended metaphor wherein the captain of the ship is Abraham Lincoln. The ship is the Union. The fearful trip the Captain undertakes is the Civil War and his prize at the end is victory. The poem begins with the speaker celebrating the victory that the captain has just won, eventually the speaker notices that the captain lies dead on the ship.
