Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail :
The water flowing out of the chasm is strong and powerful. The purpose of these similes is to show how the water sprays and bounces around similar to the way hail falls and bounces once it hits a surface. It is also compared to grain being turned and tossed in a thresher, rolling and flying everywhere.
I think that it is Douglass's fight with Covey that renews his desire to be a free man. After two hours of fighting, Douglas prevails over Covey.

Answer:
A gerund is a form of a verb used as a noun, whereas a participle is a form of verb used as an adjective or as a verb in conjunction with an auxiliary verb. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that modifies a noun. This grammatical construction usually sits next to another noun and modifies it by renaming it or describing it in another way. Appositives are generally offset with commas or dashes.
Examples:
Gerund: Verb: Read; Gerund: Reading; Sentence: Her favorite hobby is reading.
Participle: A participle is an adjective made from a verb. Verb: Sleep; Participle: Sleeping; Phrase: The sleeping dog.
Appositive: Sentence: "The boy raced ahead to the finish line"; Appositive: "The boy, an avid sprinter, raced ahead to the finish line."
For the first two, the difference is really the context of the phrase/sentence. The gerund turns the verb into a noun, turning the <em>action </em>of reading into a <em>thing, </em>or a <em>hobby</em>. A participle phrase takes the <em>action </em>of sleeping and turns it into an adjective, and results in "the sleeping dog."
The answer is D. all of the above
