Odysseus spends a lot of time talking about the very strong wine that Maron gave him. What kind of literary device is this? epic simile
foreshadowing
extended metaphor
argument

Answers

The literary device used in this sentence is extended metaphor.

The phrase “spends a lot of time talking about the very strong wine” indicates that the words used to refer to the object are not literally applicable to the action performed. 
Actually, it would be foreshadowing. The hinting at the wine tells that he will be using the wine soon

Thinking back to the hazy days of his youth, Rene recalled the odors of the barnyard and the scent of a spring in 1943. He remembered the dreamy pleasure he had gathered during his morning parade among chickens in the barnyard, scattering feed from a battered pail. Perhaps, he thought, that was because the clucking and scratching of the hens and their pullets seemed like evidence of gratitude. On the other hand, Nazi soldiers had recently occupied the nearby village of Reims. No doubt because he detested the Nazis, and no doubt because he associated swine with German soldiers, he now found slopping the hogs an odious task.

Answers

From this passage, odious means? 
choices: tedious, hateful, difficult, or harmless.

ODIOUS means HATEFUL.

Rene detested the Nazis whom he likens to swine.

Detest is synonymous to hate. Swines are also known as hogs.

Because Rene associates the detestable Nazis with the hogs, he finds feeding the hogs a hateful task.

Odious is also defined as extremely unpleasant and repulsive. Thus, doing an odious task is hateful.

Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder... Which word in the sentence from The Crisis is loaded or charged with emotion?

A)murder
B)induced
C)support
D)treasures

Answers

Answer: A) murder

Murder is a word with a strong negative connotation. Murder refers to the premeditated killing of a person, and it is usually associated with cold and cruel feelings. In this excerpt, the speaker wants to make it clear that he believes offensive wars are never justified. His use of the loaded word "murder" highlights the illegality of it, while at the same time gives the reader a negative feeling.
It is probably murder, because the word is most commonly thought of as being hateful and full of unbridled emotion, and in this particular passage, it is most likely used to convey disgust.

A. The crowdroared as the bull charged.
B. June was a collector of memorabilia.
C. Ishall be all that I am and more.
D. Ibelieved every word he said.

Sometimes, a verb phrase is seen in a very strict sense; a s verb and parts, such as auxiliary verbs. Then the correct answer is
