Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Epic simile can be defined as an extended simile which runs over several verses in an epic poetry. It is also known as Homeric simile. This device is used to compare one action with the other action in epic poetry. In the epic of Beowulf, epic simile is used extensively.

When the poet describes the beam of wood that Beowulf has found, it can be compared picturized like the mast of an enormously large ship based on epic simile.

The lines from the epic <em>'And it was like a mast /a lugger of twenty oars, broad in the beam— /a deep-sea-going craft—might carry: /so long, so big around, it seemed.'  </em>suggests that the size of the beam is enormous as that of a ship.

Thus the correct option is D.

Of their married felicity but little is known, perhaps for the reason that Tennessee, then living with his partner, one day took
Svet_ta [14]

The themes of friendship and loyalty are developed in the first excerpt from Bret Harte's "Tennessee's Partner" by suggesting three infidelities, since the character Tennessee courted his Partner's wife, and the bride accepted him, but later on she abandoned him and went out with another man. The excerpt also suggests a strong affection and loyalty from Tennessee's Partner towards Tennessee, even though he has stolen his wife. The second excerpt likewise reflects Tennessee's Partner's unconditional affection and admiration for Tennessee, even after his death. The character's delirium is making him seeing his beloved friend, whom he fondly calls "old girl", coming his way. He struggles to accomplish his goal of putting him (his dead body) in the cart.
