Alliteration. Many experts also consider alliteration an example of figurative language, even though it does not involve figures of speech. Rather, alliteration is a sound device that layers some additional meaning on top of the literal language of the text.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box,

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Backstory.

Explanation:

The references to stones in the story "The Lottery" creates the backstory of the whole story. The ritual of the lottery wherein a member of a particular household is stoned to death is like an annual sport stemming from Mr. Joe Summer's free time. Even though the villagers no longer remember the relevance of the rituals associated with the 'lottery', they still remember to use stones for the killings. And it was with stones that they used to hurl at Tessie Hutchinson, the unlucky victim of the lottery draw which her own husband had marked the slip the previous night.

Answer:

(Infinitive Phrase) to the winds, (Gerund) Considering, (Verbal phrase) -

Threw.

Explanation:

Considering is the Gerund in this sentence.

Threw is the Verbal Phrase

"Juana, considering the matter, threw caution to the winds."

I cant write the same explantion because I forgot but, i hope you got all the notes that I did for you down..

But I can try to summarize

Verbal Phrase- It has to do with the action. For example: to the shopping mall or to the Candy Store.

Gerund- Always ends in -ing and if the verb is put in past tense then it ends in -ed.

Participle Phrase: A participle is a verbal ending in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) that functions as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifier(s), object(s), and/or complement(s).

If this gets deleted again please take a picture before so you can remember.

I hope this helped!
