Answer 2
Answer:

Metaphysical conceit is a comparison of 2 things that are very different.   He compares violent actions like knockng , breaking, blowing and burning to the love of God.   He says even if God does those things, he wants to be imprisoned by him.

Answer:

Free will is the idea that we are able to have some choice in how we act and assumes that we are free to choose our behavior, in other words we are self determined. For example, people can make a free choice as to whether to commit a crime or not (unless they are a child or they are insane).

The War of the Worldsby H. G. Wells [1898]

KEPLER (quoted in The Anatomy of Melancholy)

BOOK ONE: THE COMING OF THE MARTIANS
CHAPTER ONE: THE EVE OF THE WAR, excerpt

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.

Which of the following techniques is key in the process of close reading?scanning
annotating
prereading
prewriting

Answers

The question is asking us the following: Which of the following techniques is key in the process of close reading? Close reading means that we read something very attentively, paying a lot of attention to it. Ideally, we should also underline important parts and make annotations - so the correct answer is indeed "annotating" - making notes and comments on the text. Scanning would be rather useful when we don't need to read the text closely, but only get a rough idea of it.

Answer:

the correct answer is "annotating'

What literary device is used in these lines from \"Music, When Soft Voices Die (To--)\" by Percy Shelley?. . Odors, when sweet violets sicken. . Live within the sense they quicken.. .
metaphor.
alliteration.
allusion.
apostrophe

Answers

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

Im 100% sure that the correct answer!!!
