In which passage is it clearest that the author is using diction to achieve some kind of effect?

English

I think the correct answer is: B) The bride floated down the aisle to her awaiting love.

First of all, diction is the writer's choice of words. By choosing the words, the author defines the mood and the style of writing. This can be the difference between a great writer or an average one, between capturinf the readers attention or not.

In the options given, the B seems like a sentence that was well thought by the writer as he uses profound words that evoke a certain feeling, in this case it could be love. The use of the word "floated" gives us a clue on how the bride was feeling, she didn't just walk. The rest of the options only describe mere actions without giving them a deeper meaning.

Which sound device is emphasized in both of these poetic passages?
____ [38]

Hello

The sound device that is emphasized in both of the passages is C. repetition.

In poetry, repetition helps create a rhythmic pattern as well as emphasize an idea. It can consist of repeating the same word or phrase, sometimes even whole lines. In the passages we are inserted here, we can notice the repetition of a several words and phrases:

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,

By the shining Big-Sea-Water,

Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,

Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.

Dark behind it rose the forest,

Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,

Rose the firs with cones upon them;

Bright before it beat the water,

Beat the clear and sunny water,

Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "The Song of Hiawatha")

We rest.—A dream has power to poison sleep;

We rise.—One wandering thought pollutes the day;

We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;

Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:

(Percy Shelley, "Mutability")

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
