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.

In the poem "Grass", the grass is the speaker. True or False
Maksim231197 [3]

True, the grass growing in the battlefield's role was to replace death and loss with growth.

The type of poem "anyone lived in a pretty how town" is narrative. Ballad is a poem or song that is narrated in short stanzas, while acrostic is a type of poem where certain letters spell out a phrase or word. E.E narrates the life of anyone living in pretty how town beautifully, so I'd say narrative.

False. "In a Station of the Metro" is an iconic Imagist poem, but is more considered as the first haiku, even though it lacks the structure of a traditional haiku.
