Answer:

Sample Response: Whitman begins by comparing Lincoln to the captain of a ship and his army to a boat. The metaphor honors Lincoln and the army for helping defend and win the idea of freedom. Whitman ends the poem by saying that Lincoln, the captain, has died. The army and the United States have lost an important leader.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

1). It reveals Hamlet’s anger with himself.

4). It reveals Hamlet’s hesitation to act.

Explanation:

The figurative language implies the employment of 'figures of speech' or literary devices that aids the authors to express a connotative meaning to the content that requires to be inferred by the readers and therefore, such language compels them to imagine or apprehend the meaning of the work.

As per the question, the effect created by the figurative language employed in the given excerpt would include that it aids to 'reveal or disclose Hamlet's anger with himself' that reflects his feelings of guilt('I should have fatted')and impotence('what an a** am I') to take the necessary actions to revoke his previous actions. Then, the figurative language also assists to display 'Hamlet's hesitation to act' which is reflected through the use of phrases like 'I am pigeon-liver’d' and 'lack gall'. Therefore, <u>options 1 and 4</u> are correct.
