Answer:

One example of a sound device such as rhythm used in "The Courage That My Mother Had" is in this quote "The golden brooch my mother wore..She left behind for me to wear; I have no thing I treasure more: Yet it is something I could spare." This is a simple rhyme scheme. This gives the poem that sing-song effect. Another example of spund devices used in this poem is repetition in the following quote. "Now granite in a granite hill."

Rhyme and rhythm. In the poem, the author employed these two poetic devices to emphasize the musicality of the poem. The rhyme scheme is alternate (abab cdcd efef). The rhyme isn't perfect, but the intention to rhyme is clear. Like the rhyme scheme, the rhythm is also evident although, again, not perfect. Each line has 8 syllables, few have 7. This uniform number of syllables create a steady beat when the lines are read.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

A.He feels inadequate for the task.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A.He feels inadequate for the task.

B.He is eager to condemn Hester for her crime.

C.He is fearful of Hester’s response.

D.He desires to help Hester confess her sin.

In this text, we learn that Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale is introduced to the crowd as an expert on the matter at hand. He is being asked by Mr. Wilson and the Governor to speak about matters of the heart, and in particular, those of women. We learn that this task is of a "trying nature," which implies that Mr. Dimmesdale finds it really difficult. Moreover, we also learn that this situation leads him to lose colour on his cheeks and make his lips tremulous. These are all signs of nervousness, so we can assume that Mr. Dimmesdale feels that he is inadequate to the task.
