"Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now,

Will be a totter'd weed of small worth held: "

(William Shakespeare, Sonnet 2)

answer:metaphor  

Answer:

Metaphor - "Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now,

Will be a totter'd weed of small worth held: "

(William Shakespeare, Sonnet 2)

Personification - My reason, the physician to my love,

Angry that his prescriptions are not kept"

(Edmund Spenser, Sonnet 147)

Simile - "And her fair countenance, like a goodly banner,

Spreads in defiance of all enemies."

(Edmund Spenser, Sonnet 5)

Hyperbole- "More than most fair ... "

(Edmund Spenser, Sonnet 8)

Explanation:

1. Metaphor is the literary device that writers use phrases or groups of words to apply to an object or an action but which is not applicable literally. In this poem "Sonnet 2" by Shakespeare, the speaker is talking about when a person gets old. His young skin and appearance that people love looking at will become saggy, with "small worth".

2. Personification is the attribution of human qualities to an abstract thought or idea. In "Sonnet 147" by Spenser, the author personifies "his reason" as a "physician" who is angry with the lover for not keeping his prescriptions.

3. Simile is another literary technique of figuratively speaking when the speaker compares one thing with another thing of a different kind. In Spenser's "Sonnet 5", the speaker compares his beloved's fair appearance or face to that of a banner flying over the enemies.

4. Hyperbole is an exaggerated claim which cannot and should not be taken in the literal sense. "Sonnet 8" of Spenser's sonnet describes his beloved as "more than most fair" which is an exaggeration for the beauty f his beloved.

Diversity in groups leads to broadened perspectives, innovation, and creative problem-solving but can also introduce communication barriers and mistrust. Engaging in social activities and understanding cultural differences can ease communication and build an inclusive environment. Navigating these dynamics effectively transforms challenges into strengths, enriching the group's outputs.

The impact of diversity in a group can indeed have both positive and negative effects, and a well-rounded understanding of these can enhance how a group functions. The positive aspects of diversity include a broadened perspective, improved problem-solving, and enhanced creativity. Having a mix of cultural, ethnic, and experiential backgrounds can introduce varied viewpoints and solutions to problems, fostering an environment of innovation and creative thinking. For example, in a project team, varied perspectives can lead to the development of a more comprehensive and universally applicable solution. On the other hand, challenges such as communication barriers, potential mistrust, and the complexity of coordination can also arise. Studies have shown that ethnic diversity may decrease political participation due to mistrust and communication difficulties, indicating the crucial need for cultivating an inclusive environment that encourages open dialogue and mutual understanding.

To leverage the benefits of diversity, groups may find it beneficial to engage in social activities outside of work or project time to build rapport and find common ground. This approach can help ease communication and foster a culture of inclusion, minimizing the fear of offending and facilitating more meaningful interactions. Simultaneously, understanding the dynamics of cultural and communication differences, as outlined in studies like Chapter 8 'Culture and Communication', can prepare individuals to navigate through the complexities of diverse groups more effectively. Ultimately, recognizing and respecting each member's uniqueness while finding unity in shared goals or tasks can transform the potential challenges of diversity into its strengths, leading to enriched group dynamics and outcomes.

Theme is the lesson learned in the story want and need is a big question for real life people I say theme is the answer

The correct answer is D) the colonies continue to depend on Britain for protection and governance.

The argument does the author counter in this excerpt from Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" is that the colonies continue to depend on Britain for protection and governance.

The author clearly states that America does not need the association with Britain and its against those voices that said that "that as America has flourished under her former connection with Great Britain, the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect."

Thomas Paine wrote the pamphlet "Common Sense" in 1776. In this pamphlet, Paine challenged the authority of the English monarchy. Un a clear language for everybody to understand it, it was the first document that expressed ideas of independence from the British.

This is the portion of the text that the author commented: "I have heard it asserted by some, that as America has flourished under her former connection with Great Britain, the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect. Nothing can be more fallacious than this kind of argument. We may as well assert that because a child has thrived upon milk, that it is never to have meat, or that the first twenty years of our lives is to become a precedent for the next twenty."

The other options of the question were A) Britain provides ample welfare to all her colonies, including America. B) The colonists do not benefit from their alliance with Britain. C) Britain does not provide adequate resources for the growing colonies in America.

I got it right on my test on Plato/ edmentum

its like in plot the tension and stress picks out

The climax in a story is the turning point where the main conflict achieves its highest tension, leading to a resolution. It often changes the protagonist and the situation significantly, and may be preceded by sub-climaxes that build suspense.

The term climax is often described as the turning point of a story, which is the peak moment in the narrative where the main conflict is at its most intense point. This pivotal moment leads to the resolution of the story and enables the characters to solve their problems. The climax can manifest in various forms, for instance, as an epiphany that the protagonist has about themselves, a confrontation or battle between the protagonist and antagonist, or as the culmination of an internal struggle within the protagonist. A climax is designed to be the central event toward which the entire narrative has been building, providing a resolution that often changes the protagonist or the situation in a meaningful way.

Many stories may also include smaller points of high tension or minor climaxes within the rising action that serve to build suspense and further develop the primary conflict, leading up to the main climax. These are called sub-climaxes and are significant in their own right, serving as pivotal moments for secondary conflicts within the story.

Thus, the figurative device reflected in this excerpt is 'simile' as it compares 'terror' to 'crash of cymbals' with the use of the word 'as'. Had there 'as' not mentioned, then it would have been a metaphor. Since it compares with the use of 'as', thus, option C is the correct answer.
