Answer:
Two devices that are being used in the lines are:
C. repetition
D. rhyme/rhythm
Explanation:
Repetition is a literary device consisting of repeating the same word or phrase for emphasis or clarity. Repetition can appear in both prose and poetry, and it can also be a rhetorical device. In the lines we are analyzing here, the phrase "I'm growing" is repeated at the beginning of each line:
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;
I'm growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my sighs;
Rhyme is a correspondence of sounds between different words. In the lines above, we have a rhyme scheme of ABAB, that is, "staff" rhymes with "laugh" - lines 1 and 3 -, and "eyes" rhymes with "sighs" - lines 2 and 4.
As for rhythm, I believe we have an iambic tetrameter - a four time repetition of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Take a look below:
I'm growing fonder of my staff;

Answer:
The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Explanation:
Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.
1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.
2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.
Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.
3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.
4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.
A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)
Hope it isn't confusing, and it helped! :))

Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Raven," is written in the trochaic octameter. Let us break down what that means:
1. trochaic - this refers to the meter of the poem, trochee. Trochee is the type of meter which consists of two syllables, where the first one is stressed (written in capital letters), and the second one is unstressed (written in lower letters), like in option C
2. octameter - this refers to the number of syllables within the entire line. Octa means eight, and one meter consists of two syllables, so if you multiply those two, you will get the exact number of syllables in one line, which is sixteen.
