<span>The correct revision is this: The well-known actress accepted the award.
The word "the" should be capitalized because it is the first word of the sentence. Next, "well known" should be hyphenated because the two are working together to form a single adjective. Finally, a period should come at the end of the sentence.</span>
At the beginning of this excerpt, we see the narrator (Theodore Dreiser) reflecting on the nature of his brother. The excerpt then switches to the narrative storytelling of an event that clarifies and supports this reflection. Because this is a work of nonfiction and Dreiser is recounting real people and their experiences, he makes it known that it’s almost impossible to use words to capture the essence of what his brother was truly like. He proceeds to narrate an incident that helps the readers get a better understanding of his brother and his nature. Dreiser describes the incident as though he is telling a fictional story. He provides descriptive details about the atmosphere and the character (his brother) in the scene, just like a scene from a piece of fiction. He draws on his factual knowledge of his brother’s traits and uses this brief, real-life incident to help readers understand his brother and how he was generous, sympathetic, and a tad bit mischievous. He uses descriptive language to add depth to the incident and maintain readers’ attention.
Since there are 8 syllables in this line, that means that this is a 'tetrameter', meaning 4 meters. 1 meter = 2 syllables.
And since the sequence of accents is: first is the stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one, it means it is a 'trochee'.
So the answer is 'trochaic tetrameter'.

Answer:
Personification - "...until the small hours of the morning began to grow large".
Simile - "the shop fronts stood along that thoroughfare with an air of invitation, like rows of smiling saleswomen".
Hyperbole - "I was coming home from some place at the end of the world, about three o'clock of a black winter morning..."
Explanation:
Personification is a figure of speech that presents an object or animal with human qualities. In this case, the hours are described as growing, which only living things can do.
A simile compares two unlike things using the words "like“ and "as“, such as in the comparison between the doors and the rows of smiling saleswomen.
A hyperbole states an exaggeration to emphasize a point, such as describing a faraway place as somewhere at the end of the world.
