Which line uses all trochees?

English
1 answer:
katrin [286]2 years ago
3 0

Since trochees consist of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one, we can see that the line which uses all trochees is:

C. Toy store sausages swung by.

  • The type of metrical foot known as trochee consists of a <u>stressed </u><u>syllable followed by an </u><u>unstressed </u><u>syllable</u>. The word "heaven" could be seen as an example of trochee.
  • In a poem, a trochee can appear as one word with two syllables, like the example above, or as two words. In this case, the first word would be stressed while the second one would not.
  • The rhythm we notice while reading a line with trochees is: DUM dum DUM dum DUM dum.
  • That is what happens in line C. Let's highlight the stressed syllables so that we can notice the trochee pattern:

"Toy store sausages swung by."

What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?
rosijanka [135]

What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?

Answer: It is <u>an allusion</u>.

Explanation:

As a figure of speech, an allusion is a brief reference to an event, person, place or idea. This reference does not include a detailed description. In the first stanza of “Monet’s Waterlilies”

, Robert Hayden makes a quick allusion to the civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, which took place in 1965:

<em>"Today as the news from Selma and Saigon</em>

<em>poisons the air like fallout"</em>

How does this example of figurative language affect the last line of the stanza?

Answer: It sets up contrast.

Explanation:

In the last line of the stanza, the author mentions<em> "the serene, great picture" </em>that he loves. This is in direct contrast with the first line of the stanza, where he describes a disturbing event in which people who protested in peace were attacked by police. This picture looks like anything but serene - the word serene means untroubled and peaceful, and serves as a direct contrast to the scene from the first line.
