Explanation:
Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it.
"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following: <span>
♣ </span>He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. <span>(Personification)
♣ </span><span>The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man
can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.</span><span> (Personification)
♣ </span>A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)
♣ <span>He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor)
♣ H</span><span>e is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile)
These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more. But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case. </span>
The correct answer is C, as an air mass changes the weather of the area over which it moves.
An air mass is defined as a large portion of air, with a horizontal extension of several hundred kilometers, whose physical properties, especially temperature, moisture content and vertical temperature gradient, are more or less uniform.
Between two air masses fronts are formed, which can have different temperatures.
The cold front is a band of instability that occurs when a mass of cold air approaches a hot air mass. The cold air, being more dense, generates a "wedge" and gets under warm and less dense air.
The cold fronts move quickly. They are strong and can cause atmospheric disturbances such as thunderstorms, squalls, tornadoes, strong winds and short snowstorms before the cold front passes, accompanied by dry conditions as the front advances.
The warm front is the front of a warm air mass that moves to replace a cold air mass. Generally, with the passage of the warm front the temperature and humidity increase, the pressure drops and although the wind changes it is not as pronounced as when a cold front passes.
An occluded front is formed when a slower moving hot front is followed by a cold front with faster displacement. The cold wedge-shaped front reaches the hot front and pushes it upwards. The two fronts continue moving one behind the other and the line between them is what forms the occluded front.
Finally the stationary front is a limit between two air masses, of which none is strong enough to replace the other.

A. <em>The storm enhances the mysterious quality of Porphyria and her appearance </em>This is the correct option.
Robert Browning wrote this monolgue in 1836 during Victorian times. Porphyria was a mysterious woman who defied the morality of the times. She came from the simple and wild rural area; the poet was comfortable at home. He represented urban life. This sort of life was severly criticised by Victorian people. However, Porphyria wanted to escape from the rigid Victorian way of life. This was strange and ,in the monologue ,this strange characteristic of the woman's is emphasised through the storm.
These optins are not right:
B. The power of the storm underscores Porphyria's power ( On the contrary, the storm makes her more mysterious).
C. The wildness of the storm contrasts with Porphyria's conventionality ( In fact, Porphyria is not traditonal or conventional at all. She wants to rebel against the opression of Victorian England).
D. The destructive nature of the poem echoes Porphyria's limitless passion. ( The setting of the poem is related to the storm in this excerpt. There is not any destructive tone in this excerpt. )
