I think the poem in question is actually "Ashes of Life" by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

If your question pertains to the subject of the poem as a whole, I believe the correct answer to your question is B. metaphor.

Metaphor means that a thing is not to be regarded in its literal sense, but as representative of something else. In this case, there are no ashes in the poem. But they are a metaphor of what's left of her life now that her beloved has abandoned her. We can also take this as an example of imagery, suggesting that she was burning with love, and now only ashes have remained.

However, if you take a closer look at some of the lines, such as "<span>Love has gone and left me", it is a personification - giving human attributes to animals, abstract notions, or non-living things.</span>

Est-ce que tu es en forme? Answer either in english or french
raketka [301]
  • English: "Yes, I feel great, thanks!" or "No, I've got a cold."
  • French: "Oui, merci, je me sens plein(e) d'énergie !" or "Pas vraiment, je suis malade."

In French, <em>être en forme</em> means to feel fit, dynamic, ready for action. When you ask someone <em>"Est-ce que tu es en forme ?</em>" you are basically asking them if they're fine physically.

Examples where this question could be appropriate is when someone is coming back from sick leave, or about to perform a show or a sports trial.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
azamat

Answer: The right answer is "moving from the details of the individual hieroglyphics to the big picture of hieroglyphics being both representations of sounds and symbols."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, in this excerpt from James Cross Giblin's entertaining account of the discovery of the Rosetta Stone and its translation by French historian Jean François Champollion (1790-1832), the narrator is pointing out that reflecting upon the hieroglyphs further gave Champollion a chance to understand that, far from simply representing the sounds that identified the names of the pharaohs, or, as some scholars thought, having solely a symbolic meaning, hieroglyphs were both sounds and symbols. He, therefore, advanced the knowledge on the spoken language of ancient Egypt.

How is sanger rainsfords epiphany is caused by the external conflict in the most dangerious game
Maslowich

Rainsford had an epiphany at the end of the story when he was being hunted by General Zaroff. The external conflict was General Zaroff hunting him. His epiphany was about how animals felt when they were being hunted because, in the beginning of the story, he said that animals don't feel fear when hunted. At the end of the story, he understood how it felt to be hunted like an animal and that they do feel fear.
