What does the phrase “as they turn from Praise” in line 8 mean?a. As people are embarrassed by praise
b. As people do things without needing praise
c. As people usually do in spite of themselves
d. As people rarely do

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

a. As people are embarrassed by praise This is the correct option.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 - 1861) wrote this poem "How Do I Love Thee?" to show her unconditional love to the poet Robert Browning. The title of the poem is a question and the answer is given through the poem. So, she loves him purely and she tells him he should not get embarrassed by her love: "...I love thee freely, as men strive for right // I love thee purely, as they turn from praise..." Her love is genuine and she does not want anything in return.

These options are not right:

b. As people do things without needing praise (  Praise is a feeling not a need. In the poem, praise is related to getting too much attention).

c. As people usually do in spite of themselves ( People do not feel praise involuntarily. Something happens and this makes them feel praise).

d. As people rarely do ( The focus is not set on any frequent event , but on the loved one's feelings of embarrassment).
Answer 2
Answer: The correct answer would be 'b'

Which literary device is employed in the following sentence from Herman Melville’s short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener"? And here Bartleby makes his home, sole spectator of a solitude which he has seen all populous—a sort of innocent and transformed Marius brooding among the ruins of Carthage!.

Answers

The literary device in use in this sentence is metaphor.

In the sentence, the author explains how Bartleby is looking at an area that is practically empty now, but used to be busy with people ("sole spectator of a solitude which he has seen all populous"). He then directly compares Bartleby with Marius, who had looked upon a once-busy, but now-destroyed, Carthage.

If the sentence had read
"And here Bartleby... all populous - like a sort of innocent and transformed..."
then it would have been a simile, not a metaphor.

However, because the author simply states that Bartleby IS "a sort of innocent and transformed Marius", without a word like "like" before it, it is a metaphor.

Tough, stone-faced, and "stubborn", she fought her way through a truck-load of friends, leaving a well-worn rut of broken people behind her--this would be the best option since stubborn people are hesitant to change their ways.

If the following sentence contains a simile, choose the option that contains the entire simile. If there is no simile, then select "none."He snored as loud as a tractor.

He snored as loud as a tractor.

The answer is "as loud as a tractor" it is not "he snored as loud as a tractor" because that's just the whole sentence and you want just the whole simile part. Good luck!
