Answer: B) Sonnet

An Italian sonnet, or Petrarchan sonnet, is a type of poem named after the famous Italian poet Petrarch. Although the sonnet was often employed by him, it was developed by other previous Renaissance poets. In this type of poem, the octave poses a problem, and the sestet solves it. Moreover, the break between the octave and the sestet is called the <em>volta</em>, or turn.

Read this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 93 and fill in the blanks in the paragraph.
VARVARA [1.3K]
<span>The correct answer to the first question is romantic. The speaker of the poem explains how beautiful the face of his beloved is. She is so beautiful that her face could never appear hateful.

The correct answer to the second question is praising. The speaker is praising the subject of the poem, not denouncing her.

The correct answer to the third question is simile. The speaker uses the simile of Eve's apple to make a comparision between the apple and the face of his beloved. It is a simile, not a metaphor, because he says, "How like Eve's apple..."

The correct answer to the fourth question is deception. The simile of Eve's apple symbolizes the deception in beautiful things.

The correct answer to the fifth question is virtue / corruption. The speaker contrasts his beloved's beauty and her virtue to show that her beauty does not reveal her inner corruption.</span>

Why were Americans, including President Jefferson, unable to to treat Haitians as “brave and courageous human beings"?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

:The Haitian Revolution and the subsequent emancipation of Haiti as an independent state provoked mixed reactions in the United States. This led to uneasiness in the US, instilling fears of racial instability on its own soil and possible problems with foreign relations and trade between the two countries.

US president Thomas Jefferson realized the revolution had the potential to cause an upheaval against slavery in the US not only by slaves, but by white abolitionists as well. Southern slaveholders feared the revolt might spread from the island of Hispaniola to their own plantations. Against this background and with the declared primary goal of maintaining social order in Haiti, the US attempted to suppress the revolution, refusing acknowledgement of Haitian independence until 1862.

The US also embargoed trade with the nascent state. American merchants had conducted a substantial trade with the plantations on Hispaniola throughout the 18th century, the French-ruled territory providing nearly all of its sugar and coffee. However, once the Haitian slave population emancipated itself, the US was reluctant to continue trade for fear of upsetting the evicted French on one hand and its Southern slaveholders on the other.

Against this, there were anti-slavery advocates in northern cities who believed that consistency with the principles of the American Revolution — life, liberty and equality for all — demanded that the US support the Haitian people.

Which words in these sentences are used as puns? 1. An English teacher is like a judge in that she hands out long sentences. 2.
-BARSIC- [3]
"Sentences" is the punning word in #1, for judges give out sentences. And teachers, as well. Get it? Sentences?
"Manor" is the punning word in #2. Get that? Castle? Home? Manor instead of manner? A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings. 
Another example of a pun is:
The pigs were a squeal.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. And then it hit me.

Do you understand now? LOL. (: Hope this helps(:
