The English language is typically divided into three historical periods (option "C"):
The Old English or Anglo Saxon which was brought to Britain due to the Anglo-Saxon invasions, was spoken in England and Scotland between 450-1100 AD (early Middle Ages).
The Middle English, which developed after the Norman conquest in 1066, was influenced by the French. It started replacing the Old English; however, the Middle English was considered the language of the upper classes.
The Modern English was spoken since the beginning of the Tudors (15th century) and spread through the British Empire colonies during the 18th century.
Answer:
Imagery and figurative language are used in the short story as a way to understand some thoughts transmitted in sentences, as well as to intensify the reader's perception of these meanings.
Explanation:
Imagery is used in the text to intensify one of the reader's senses and make him better understand what is being described in the text. In this way, imagery has the ability, literally, to provoke a strong sensation in the reader and bring him closer to what he is reading. In the text we can see this in the lines:
<em>"At length, watching the sea-gulls in the air—the only creatures that were sure of liberty—he thought of a plan for himself and his young son Icarus, who was captive with him."</em>
Figurative language aims to express an idea based on the use of words that are not objectively related to that idea, but establishes a subjunctive relationship that gives a lot of meaning to the text, in addition to exercising the reader's reasoning and understanding of the constructions. We can see a figurative language in the lines:
<em>"He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind, down, down, with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away. "</em>
This will either be power or reputation. Most likely power, with the fact that they are the accusers.
I think its D because when they need to build up the speed the strong winds try to push them around, so they fall off.
