It is for sure <span>B. The aroma of bread baking in the oven permeated the entire house.
It's very descriptive. </span>
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.
The Poet uses litotes as a literary technique in the sentence That [sword] was not useless to the warrior now from Beowulf.
Litotes is a technique that communicates in a positive message through a negative structure, we can see in the sentence the use of was not, but the general meaning is a positive one saying that the sword was in fact really useful.
The other options are not correct because those techniques make reference to sounds and metrics or use of a combination of words no the general meaning of a sentence.
