for A it should be: The exhibits on the lower level are not currently open to the public.
for C it should be: That man, wearing sunglasses, seems to be an undercover police officer.
for D it should be: Perry, like his younger sister Pauline, writes very neatly.
Hopefully this helped and good luck.
metaphor.
alliteration.
allusion.
apostrophe
Answer:
I too believe the answer to be letter B) alliteration.
Explanation:
The lines we must analyze are:
"Odors, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken."
By defining each of the devices provided in the question, we can choose the one that applies to those lines. A metaphor is comparison between two different things stated without the help of support words ("like" or "as"). A metaphor claims that "thing A is thing B", for example: your eyes are stars. In the lines above, we do not have a metaphor. There is no comparison being made.
Alliteration is a literary device in which sounds or letters at the beginning of words that are close to each other in a structure are repeated. Such repetition creates mood and rhythm. That is precisely what we have in the lines above. The letter s is repeat in three close words:
"Odors, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken."
An allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone, but in an indirect manner. For instance: you are more beautiful than Aphrodite - that's an allusion to a Greek mythology figure. The author does not explain who Aphrodite is, he simply mentions her trusting the audience will grasp the reason why she was mentioned. We do not have an allusion in Shelley's lines.
Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the author of a poem speaks directly to someone who is not there, someone who is dead, or an inanimate object. As we can note, that does not happen in the lines we are studying. If the speaker had been talking to the odors instead of about them, then we would have an apostrophe.
The correct answer would be B. alliteration

Answer:
The sentence that contains an appositive phrase is sentence B.
Explanation:
An appositive phrase is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. Because the information provided by the appositive is nonessential as the meaning of the sentence does not depend on it, it is offset with commas. If you removed the appositive from the sentence, the meaning would be left unchanged (see 1).
1) The safari stopped at an oasis
The answer is B.) The safari stopped at an oasis, a moist fertile spot in the desert.
The appositive phrase is a moist fertile spot in the desert. You can read the rest of the sentence without that part and still have a complete sentence. It describers oasis.
B. The Trumpet Shall Sound
C. The Bridge of San Luis Reynolds
D. The Women of Andros
The correct answer is: C) The bridge of San Luis Rey.
The Bridge of San Luis Rey was written by Thornton Wilder (1897 - 1975) on 1927. Although his first book was "The Cabala", it didn't made him famous, "The Bridge of San Luis" did. It made him win a Pullitzer Prize and was adapted for TV and film. It focuses on the lives of five people in Peru who died in the collpase of a bridge in the 18th century.
