Answer:

C). Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is demonstrated as the literary device that establishes an implicit comparison between two distinct things in order to explain and clarify a point to the readers. It assists the author or speaker to display that assists the readers to have a clear and comprehensive understanding.

In the given excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr's 'Nobel Price Acceptance Speech', 'metaphor' is employed to compare the two completely unrelated or contradictory ideas i.e. 'justice and an injured person' to explain the implicit similarity or resemblance between the two as they both are helpless. Thus, he displays a need to uplift the justice from this 'dust of shame to reign supreme.' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Which words in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe create an ominous and spooky atmosphere?
andrew11 [14]
Words such as 'bleak', 'dying', 'wrought', 'ghost', and 'sorrow' create an ominous and spooky atmosphere in "The Raven". These words have negative connotations, meaning that the words sound dark and frightening to the reader. For instance, if you wanted to create a spooky atmosphere in the following sentence, you might replace the verb with another word that has a more negative connotation.

A chill passed through the room.
A chill crept across the room.

While both sentences mean essentially the same thing, the second sentence sounds scarier because the verb has a more negative connotation.

Hope this helps!

Papessa [141]

Personal pride and stong ambition have sustained the speaker

Answer: Option (C) is correct

<u>Explanation:</u>

I think it is personal pride and strong ambition of the speaker that has sustained her. It shows that the speaker is highly ambitious and has immense pride in herself. This helps her a lot in overcoming any kind of disappointment.

Even if currently she is experiencing sadness but she can overcome it as it is temporary and will vanish soon because of her strong ambition and personal pride.

Which sentence is not relevant to the paragraph and should be deleted?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The reason is option D or "music has been proven to calm animals and to make humans smarter." That is because the entire paragraph was about the science to why humans enjoy music so much. Earlier sentences suggested MRI scans, monitoring brain activity, and people being willing to spend more on music based on their brain activity. The final sentence was information about how music calms animals when the entire paragraph was about the science to why humans enjoy music which is why that is your answer.

Hope this helps.
