Answer:

The best answer to the question: What literary device is the term war gear, would be: It is a kenning.

Explanation:

This literary device, which is used as a figure of speech as well, is very common particularly in Old Norse and Old English poetry. And this particular kenning, war gear, is part of Beowulf, a poem that has been known for being rich in this type of figurative language.

A kenning is described as a literary device in which a compound of two words, are used to form poetic expressions, often metaphorical, and that make relation to either a person, or a thing. They tend to make reference to words, or concepts, that are more simple without the use of these literary devices.

stepladder [879]

In "Sonnet 30", by Edmund Spenser, the poet uses a metaphor to explain his situation: he compares the unloving heart of Elizabeth with <em>ice</em>, and his own loving heart with <em>fire</em>. He then wonders why, if her heart is ice and his fire, he cannot melt it and make her love him. Instead, he appears to push her away even harder with his love, <em>fortifying </em>the ice instead of <em>melting </em>it, but that makes him love her even more. Therefore, he wonders "What more miraculous thing may be told that fire, which all things melts, should harden ice: and ice, which is congealed with senseless cold, should kindle fire by wonderful device?"

The poet's message is that, even when you have everything to offer, sometimes love is unattainable.

Which pair of words shares the same word root? capable, readable rewritten, revision barber, unbearable inspect, spectacles
jeka57 [31]
The pair of words that shares the same word root are inspect and spectacles.
Their root word, or the most basic part of the word, which remains when all prefixes and suffixes are removed, is the root word spect. This root word comes from the Latin word <em>spectare, </em>which means <em>to see. </em>This root word is common to these two words because both of them have to do with seeing things.

vova2212 [387]

<span>1) In 'Inferno' as well as in the rest of 'Divine Comedy', Dante included a lot of elements from Bible and 'The Aeneid' by Vergil. Due to the lots of biblical elements this story can be defined as Biblical fiction and the depiction and meaning of Hell is a direct proof of this fact. Dante made a crossover of biblical and Vergilic elements describing his own personality in both allusional sacred way. </span>

2) Dante included such allusions because he wanted to represent the perception of human evil in its categorization into different realms. He categorized sins and described them gradually by their level of complexity showing that people tend to measure everything even sins that can lead them to the journey to the Hell.
