"Fear knocked on my door" is an example of what kind of figurative language? Spelling counts.
Correct Answer
PersonificationExplanation
"Fear knocked on my door" is an example of personification because it attributes human qualities (knocking) to a non-human entity (fear). Personification is a figure of speech that gives human characteristics to inanimate objects, animals, or abstract concepts. In this case, fear is given the ability to physically knock on a door, which is a human action.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. "These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die, like fire and powder Which as they kiss consume."Explanation

The quote serves as a clue that their love will not have a happy ending and that their actions will have violent consequences.Rate this question:

Therefore, her sorrow was solely for Romeo.Rate this question:

"Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out" is a poem that relies on what type of figurative language the most? Spelling counts.The poem is below for help: Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would not take the garbage out! She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans, Candy the yams and spice the hams, And though her daddy would scream and shout, She simply would not take the garbage out. And so it piled up to the ceilings: Coffee grounds, potato peelings, Brown bananas, rotten peas, Chunks of sour cottage cheese. It filled the can, it covered the floor, It cracked the window and blocked the door With bacon rinds and chicken bones, Drippy ends of ice cream cones, Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel, Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal, Pizza crusts and withered greens, Soggy beans and tangerines, Crusts of black burned buttered toast, Gristly bits of beefy roasts. . . The garbage rolled on down the hall, It raised the roof, it broke the wall. . . Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs, Globs of gooey bubble gum, Cellophane from green baloney, Rubbery blubbery macaroni, Peanut butter, caked and dry, Curdled milk and crusts of pie, Moldy melons, dried-up mustard, Eggshells mixed with lemon custard, Cold french fried and rancid meat, Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat. At last the garbage reached so high That it finally touched the sky. And all the neighbors moved away, And none of her friends would come to play. And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said, "OK, I'll take the garbage out!" But then, of course, it was too late. . . The garbage reached across the state, From New York to the Golden Gate. And there, in the garbage she did hate, Poor Sarah met an awful fate, That I cannot now relate Because the hour is much too late. But children, remember Sarah Stout And always take the garbage out!
Correct Answer
alliterationExplanation
The correct answer is alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words or syllables. In the poem, there are several examples of alliteration, such as "scour the pots and scrape the pans," "chunks of sour cottage cheese," and "greasy napkins, cookie crumbs." These repetitions of consonant sounds create a musical and rhythmic effect in the poem, making it a prominent use of alliteration.Rate this question:
