Which literary device has Edmund Spenser used in these lines from Sonnet 9?Long-while I sought to what I might compare
Those powerful eyes, which lighten my dark sprite,
Yet find I nought on earth to which I dare
Resemble th'image of their goodly light.
Not to the sun: for they do shine by night


A.simile
B.metaphor
C.hyperbole
D.personification

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The correct answer is C. Hyperbole. This is because her eyes do not really shine goodly light nor do they shine by night, he is just overreacting. It isn't a simile because it doesn't have the famous "as something as something" pattern, nor are they a metaphor because he describes her eyes obviously and doesn't try to symbolically represent them. They aren't personified and do not show human emotions or thoughts and opinions, or behavior.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

C). Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is illustrated as the literary device that offers an overstatement or acute exaggeration to highlight a specific idea or point. It helps the author to create a splendid and distinguished effect in order to emphasize a particular point.

As per the question, the literary device employed by Spenser in this excerpt from his 'Sonnet 9' would be 'hyperbole' as the poet exaggerates the description of eyes by saying 'powerful eyes....lighten...dark sprite' and contradicts it by describing it as 'resemble ...image of goodly light', 'shine by night' that helps emphasize the beauty and gleam of his beloved's eyes which however is contradictory as the words 'dark' and 'goodly' proposes a self-contradiction. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Which is a line of dialogue? "Give me back that notebook," she said. "This data supports our conclusion," the article states. The long drive became even longer with the storm. She said an item of value was missing from her safe.

Answers

"Give me back that notebook," she said. Is a line of dialogue.

The correct answer is A. "Give me back that notebook," she said.

Explanation:

In narrative texts, dialogue refers to a conversation between two or more characters. This can be identified because the words of characters are enclosed in quotations (") and after this it is common to find expression such as she/he said, comment, claim, etc which makes dialogue different to quotation in formal document in which the words quoted belong to a character, article or document instead of being the words of a character. This means "Give me back that notebook," she said is a line of dialogue because it includes the word of a character that can be identified due to the use of quotations and the expression "she said".

The option B “Kevin was relieved the meeting was over by noon” is a sentence that uses prepositions properly. The preposition ‘by’ is well-put on the sentence.

 

EXPLANATION:

The word “by” is usually used in English. It can be used in lots of different conditions and contexts. It is mainly used as a preposition but it can also, in fact, be used as an adverb. The explanation below describes the general uses of “by” as a preposition.

1. “by” + place

meaning is: at the side of, beside, close to, next to. Examples:

• The house is by the office.

• Erika lives by a garden.

• I would love to live in a house by the lake.

2. “by” + method of transport

+ train/car/boat/plane/taxi/bus/coach. Examples:

• Ernest went to Manchester by train.

• I go to work by motorcycle.

• My cousins often go to France by plane.

• Our grandparents have never traveled by train before.

3. “by” + method of communication

structure explains how to communicate with someone.

+ telephone/post/email/fax. Examples:

• I spoke to Diana by telephone.

• She will send you the invoice by post.

• Please confirm the order by email.

4. “by” + method of payment

structure explains how to pay for something.

+ credit card/cheque. Examples:

• We paid for the machine by cheque.

• Can I pay by credit card?

• that “by” can be used for cash payments. It must use the preposition “in”:

• Elisa paid in cash for the books.

• is also possible to delete the preposition wholly, especially in spoken English:

• Elisa paid cash for the books.

5. “by” and the passive

the passive voice, “by” signifies WHO is doing the action. First, take a look at the sentence using the active voice:

• Eki is cleaning the kitchen.

• the above sentence, “Eki” is the person who does the action. When it is converted this sentence to the passive voice:

• The kitchen is being cleaned by Eki.

• are some examples. These are in the past tense:

• Salma wrote the book. (active)

• The book was written by Salma. (passive)

• Our office organized the concert. (active)

• The concert was organized by our office. (passive)

6. “by” + reflexive pronoun

structure means to do something alone.

+ myself/yourself/himself/herself/itself/ourselves/yourselves/themselves. Examples:

• I enjoy eating by myself.

• Salma is studying by herself.

• Let’s do this thing by ourselves.

• My parents usually go on holiday by themselves.

7. “by” + -ING verb

the structure explains how to do something. It provides us more information about how to get a certain result. Example:

• You can turn on the TV by pressing that button.

• the phrase “pressing the button” explains how to do something (how to turn on the radio).

8. “by” + time expression

meaning of this structure is: not later than; before or at a particular time. The preposition “by” can also be employed in deadlines. A deadline is a time before that something must be done. Examples:

• Guests must leave their hotel rooms by 11 am.

• Please send us the evidence by tomorrow.

• Students must enroll by the end of August.

In Nathan’s creative writing class, he learned some writers make surprising, interesting, or amusing contradictions in their work. Which literary device did Nathan learn about?

Answers

The literary device that Nathan learned about is called a paradox. Paradox usually matches things that you wouldn't normally match because one negates the other. For example: I know one thing - that I know nothing. This sentence is self-contradictory, and thus it is paradoxical. Usually there is a funny or silly effect to this literary device.
