In Act II, Scene I, of "The Tragedy of Macbeth", by William Shakespeare, the most likely reason he chose to use apostrophe instead of simply describe a menacing dagger when Macbeth addresses an imaginary dagger is to create a more dramatic effect. An apostrophe is a literary device that authors use when addressing a character that is not in the scene or when they address a personification, an idea or an inanimate object like in this case. Macbeth has made up his mind to kill the King. When left alone he sees this imaginary dagger signaling the way. "I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshall’st me the way that I was going,.."

A. anyone is capable of inventing something useful; they just have to start thinking of themselves as an inventor.

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Goemon jumped up. "Agreed," he said, jamming his "knife" into his sash and slashing at Manjiro’s "sword." Their imaginary swords clashed and clattered as they lunged or leaped aside to avoid being hit. Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace?
A. "imaginary" and "aside"
B. "sash" and "swords"
C. "slashing" and "lunged"
D. "Goeman" and "Manjiro"
Answer:
The words that contribute most to the excerpt's pace are C. "slashing" and "lunged".
Explanation:
<u>When we think of pace, we think of rhythm, of moving fast, slow, with regularity, with cadence, etc. </u>The words an author uses help readers feel the pace of what is being described more intensely. <u>If the characters are acting or moving fast, or if conflicts are developing slowly, the only way for readers to visualize that is through the author's word-choice. In the case of the excerpt we are studying here, we can say the writer establishes a fast pace through the use of the words "slashing" and "lunged". Both words imply rapidity of movement, celerity, quickness and, for that reason, has the readers imagining the scene in a vivid, accelerated manner.</u>
