Which line in the poem London, 1802 by William Wordsworth uses metonymy to refer to art and literature? Milton! thou shouldst be

living at this hour: England hath need of thee: she is a fen Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen, Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower, Have forfeited their ancient English dower Of inward happiness. We are selfish men; Oh! raise us up, return to us again; And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power. Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart: Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea: Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free, So didst thou travel on life's common way, In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart The lowliest duties on herself did lay.

Answer: The right answer is "she is a fen Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen, Fireside [...]."

Explanation: These are all references to various institutions and disciplines: "altar" stands for religion, "sword" represents the military, and "pen" represents literature. This is an example of metonymy because the writer is replacing those names (religion, literature) with names of things that are closely related to them (altar, pen). By doing so, his text is more concise, more creative, more symbolic and, therefore, more engaging and intellectually deep. In this poem, Wordsworth is invoking fellow poet Milton, who lived in the 17th century, since their country desperately needs him.

In what way does the author convey the
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Unfortunately, you did not attach the whole text of reference. So we do not know the kind of text and who the author is. Without that information, we cannot include the supporting details of the text.

However, we can comment on the Battle of Athens, if this can be of any help.

Just by reading the paragraph in the screenshot you attached, we can say that the author is very descriptive in his narrative and uses mane figures of language such as metaphors.

The Battle of Athens was fought in August 1946, as part of a rebellion of the people from the towns Etowah and Athens in the state of Tennessee. The causes of this rebellion were police brutality, corruption in the police department, and interference with the local elections.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)

g100num [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the question. Here we just have a statement, but not a question.

What is your question? What do you want to know?

If this is a true or false question, then the correct answer is "true."

It is true that if Maurice has been asked to write a research paper on American abolitionist Harriet Tubman who lived from 1820 to 1913, Maurice must examine the sources he has collected.

This is the correct way to start the essay, researching the proper sources, primary or secondary, to support the arguments of his essays. He has to be aware of the exact information and validity of the sources to have his arguments correct. Otherwise, he could risk the accuracy of the information to be included.

Maurice must collect enough sources and then decide what kind of information best suits the approach of his essay. That is why it is so important that he can write a good hypothesis.
