Reread the simile. Describe how it helps you see and understand what the author is experiencing. Abe We always started with the

easy (words] I had already learned, and which I wrote down and read from the slate. The new ones I had to listen to first, putting them together as well as I could from the sounds. At the end of the lesson I had to listen to the formidable words that sounded more like trapezes in full swing. ​

Answer:

As we know, a simile is a literary device that involves a comparison between two distinctly related things using 'like' or 'as' in order to explain or elaborate them for a better understanding of the reader.

In the given simile, the author compares the 'sound of formidable words' with the 'sound of trapezes in full swing' which suggests that the author is experiencing a very hard time learning these words and connotes his negative mood. The word 'formidable' means 'something frightening or dreading' which suggests that the author was having a terrifying experience as supplemented by the phrase 'trapezes in full swing' implying that the words were confusing and difficult for him to learn.

How does Shakespeare's use of triumph instead of victory
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

A. It shows that Cassius thinks that Brutus is too optimistic.

Explanation:

Shakespeare's use of triumph instead of victory in the excerpt in the passage affects its meaning because it shows that Cassius thinks Brutus is too optimistic, that is, Brutus expect they would win the war.

Cassius is trying to ask Brutus if he could face the humiliation of losing the battle and be led through the street of Time as trophy.

This means that there are two consequences of fighting a war, either to lose or to win.

Loosing means to be paraded as trophy and winning means to parade the losers as trophy.
