A. apostrophe
B. simile
C. allusion
D. personification

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: D. Personification.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to nonhuman objects. In the given lines from Plath's poem "Edge" we can see a clear example of personification, because he is saying that the feet (nonhuman objects) are saying "We have come so far, it is over" and as we know, speaking is a human characteristic, so the correct answer is option D.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

D). Personification.

Explanation:

Personification is demonstrated as the figure of speech that approaches or proposes humanly characteristics/attributes to objects or animals and abstract ideas or notions, etc. It functions to bring life to these inanimate objects in order to relate and understand it more effectively and comprehensively.

In Sylvia Plath's poem "Edge" employs 'personification' in the given lines:

"Feet seem to be saying:

We have come so far, it is over."

Here, the 'feet' have been personified which is reflected through the words 'saying', 'we have... far' to offer a voice(human attribute) to the 'feet' in order to propose a specific effect in the poem. Thus, option D would be the correct answer to this question.

Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? Earlier, when Bruce arrived, I noticed that he _____ his shirt. A. torn B. had torn C. tear D. had tore

Answers

The correct answer is B-had torn (Past Perfect)
Because there are 2 actions in the past and the action of tearing occurred before the action of noticing.So, the 1st action is Past Perfect (had torn)and the 2nd action is S.Past (noticed)

A) torn
Look at clues if there are any -ed or -s. Since 'arrived' had a "-d" and 'noticed' did too, torn will sound better when put into words.
The sentence above is in past tense so I think it would be torn
