Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

I believe the poem in the question uses FL (figurative language) in an innovative way.

Explanation:

Figurative language refers to techniques used by writers in which they employ words with meanings that differ from their original ones. That is what we have in the poem "The Night is a Big Black Cat." Notice how every single line uses a metaphor. The night is being compared to a black cat, the moon to the cat's eyes, the stars to mice, and the sky to a field. Normally, authors do not use a metaphor in every line. And, in this case, the metaphors make the poem vivid and playful. We can't help but imagine the black cat chasing mice in a field and, because of the comparison, think of the night as if it chases the stars.

Answers

It seems that you have missed the given options of this question. But anyway, here is the correct answer. The settlement that was established as a natural harbor near the mouth of Puget sound is SEATTLE. Other choices include Centralia, Port Townsend and Walla Walla. Hope this answer helps.

Answer: Seattle

Explanation:

In 1851, settlers from Illinois established the first non-Native American settlement in the Seattle area. They would later relocate the settlement to build a harbor in Puget Sound. By 1853 the new settlement was built, and although initially named for the nearby Duwamish community, it was later renamed to acknowledge the head of the local tribes, Seattle for the hospitality they had shown to the settlers.
