The <span>sound device used in the following excerpt from "How the Animals Lost their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat" by Carl Sandburg is <u>repetition.
</u>You can see that the fragment <em>which family was </em>is repeated a several times throughout the excerpt, which is why repetition is the correct answer.<u>

Daniel [21]

I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek Walcott, which is as follows:

 

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, 
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.

 

So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable.

 

To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.

Answer:

"she expressed<em> them </em>imperfectly”

Explanation:

The speaker is not complying with concord. Her reference is ,realised by <em>them</em>,  ambiguous. <em>Them</em> lacks any reference if we move backwards in the excerpt. We may assume <em>them</em> refers to what she had to say,but <em>it</em> shoudl have been used , instead. However, <em>them</em> may refer to <em>thoughts</em> that comes later in the excerpt:"She expressed<em> them</em> imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.", in these sentences ,which are not coherently linked , we infer that <em>them</em> is referring to <em>thoughts.</em>
