Which statement best describes the use of sound devices in the lines? Both excerpts use alliteration as a sound device. Both exc
Lina20 [59]

The statement that best describes the use of sound devices in the lines is the one that reads as follows: "Excerpt 1 contains alliteration, and excerpt 2 contains onomatopeia".

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the first example, the sound /t/ is repeated in "turbulency tells". On the other hand, onomatopeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. In the second example, there are "moaning" and "groaning", both verbs relating to sounds and being formed from the sound they are associated with.

How are the Greek values of family and perseverance shown through Odysseus’s return home?
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>Although we see these values, we must also recognize the tremendous double standard between genders at play here. That Homer never reproaches Odysseus for his extracurricular romances but condemns the unfaithful women in the poem recalls Calypso’s angry statement about the double standard for immortals: male gods are allowed to take mortal lovers, while female goddesses are not. Likewise, men such as Odysseus have some freedom to "wander" sexually during their geographical wanderings -- so long as they are ultimately faithful to their home -- while Penelope and the other women in The Odyssey are chastised for their lack of chastity. Indeed, Odysseus does remain true to Penelope in his heart, and his desire to reunite with her drives his faithful journey. Fidelity is also central at the end of the poem, when Odysseus tests the loyalties of his servants and punishes those who have betrayed him.</span>

The Hermit Story -
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The idea that has been suggested through using the word 'grace' is that there are moments of grace; unearned and undeserved, around us that we need to observe.

Explanation:

"The Hermit's Story" is a short story written by Rick Bass. The story is about the magical world.

It is evident in most of Rick's story that people found grace in the elements of earth, sky, water, etc.

In "The Hermit's Story" as well, people found grace in elements such as water, animals, etc.

<u>The idea that the author wants to suggest using this word is that there are moments of grace around us, only we need to observe them. The author wants to convey that just like there was a magical world beneath the ice surface, there's is a magical and essential things beneath the surface of the body, that is soul</u>.
