Answer: The right answers are World War I, World War II and the Cold War.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the Vietnam War (1955-1975) must be excluded from the list, since it was fought between South Vietnam and its ally, the United States, and North Vietnam, although a few other countries were also involved. World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945) did affect the whole world, even though the former initially only involved Serbia and Austria-Hungary and the latter originally only confronted Germany with France and the United Kingdom. As per the Cold War (1947-1991), it was a conflict primarily between the United States and the Soviet Union, and their respective allies, but it eventually permeated the while world. Many colonial regimes fell as a result of this worldwide conflict. In her poem, poet Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) is stressing that she lived in the first century that witnessed the emergence of those worldwide and devastating conflicts and that, in spite of the horror, she hopes for a better future.
Answer:
Imagery and figurative language are used in the short story as a way to understand some thoughts transmitted in sentences, as well as to intensify the reader's perception of these meanings.
Explanation:
Imagery is used in the text to intensify one of the reader's senses and make him better understand what is being described in the text. In this way, imagery has the ability, literally, to provoke a strong sensation in the reader and bring him closer to what he is reading. In the text we can see this in the lines:
<em>"At length, watching the sea-gulls in the air—the only creatures that were sure of liberty—he thought of a plan for himself and his young son Icarus, who was captive with him."</em>
Figurative language aims to express an idea based on the use of words that are not objectively related to that idea, but establishes a subjunctive relationship that gives a lot of meaning to the text, in addition to exercising the reader's reasoning and understanding of the constructions. We can see a figurative language in the lines:
<em>"He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind, down, down, with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away. "</em>
