Answer:

C). Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is demonstrated as the literary device that establishes an implicit comparison between two distinct things in order to explain and clarify a point to the readers. It assists the author or speaker to display that assists the readers to have a clear and comprehensive understanding.

In the given excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr's 'Nobel Price Acceptance Speech', 'metaphor' is employed to compare the two completely unrelated or contradictory ideas i.e. 'justice and an injured person' to explain the implicit similarity or resemblance between the two as they both are helpless. Thus, he displays a need to uplift the justice from this 'dust of shame to reign supreme.' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

How is suspense handled differently in different mediums?
vampirchik [111]
There are many ways to convey suspense. In movies, you can do it with choosing specific tunes in the background and making sets that look eerie or by zooming in on people's faces (which was an old method). In music you can slow the tempo down and add some random high pitched notes from time to time such as those found in old horror films or classical tunes. In books, it is usually done through descriptions of the unknown or mysterious.

Identify the term that best describes the italicized words. We left the auditorium before the concert was over. noun clause
BaLLatris [955]
Well, this really depends on the word or words that are italicized. However, I did find somewhere on the Internet that the italicized words are <em>before the concert was over.
</em>If that is the case, then the correct answer is adverbial clause, given that it functions as a simple adverb, that is, it answers the question - when did something happen?
<em />When did we leave the auditorium? - Before the concert was over.
