The correct answer is I, II, and III.
The first sentence support the thesis statement by using a metaphor: it compares a settler cleaning weeds from a corn field with men killing all types of life to comfortably settle in a land.
The second sentence expresses how men have devoted years and centuries developing and improving different types of weapons that would make them better killers.
And the third sentence shows that man has taken his desire for killing so far that he even wants to kill the microorganisms that live in their homes.
In "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, the quote “succumbed to the prostrating power of her destroyer” refers to Madeline's condition shortly after the narrator's arrival. It means that she could not resist against her illness any longer and has passed away.
Answer:
How such enormous monuments
were moved across the land is a mystery, and
when asked to reveal the secret the chief will
say only, with a wry smile. "They walk"
Explanation:
Personification is a literary device in which an inanimate object is given human attributes.
The writer is filled with a sense of wonder how the inhabitants of the island were able to move the huge and obviously heavy 30-feet high stone statues. When he inquired of the chief how the stones got there, the Chief replied that the monuments walked there.
The stone statues are inanimate objects and so cannot walk. Saying that the stones walked which would even heighten the writer's astonishment, assigns them a human attribute.
Thus, the sentence best uses personification to show the writer's sense of wonder.

In the phrase, the author used "like", symbolizing that she is using a simile to compare her memory to the fresh watercolour painting left out in the rain (which would surely end a disaster as the painting would mix with the rain and become destroyed), which helps the reader have a familiar comparison to how she is feeling. You could also say she uses imagery to help the reader visualize and understand her struggles of her horrible past.
