Answer: C) Personification.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given excerpt we can see an example of personification in the description of the house, it says "the lonely house." A house is a non human object, and being lonely is a human characteristic, so the correct answer is the corresponding to option C.

<span>When constructing an argument, one thing writers do is concede a point.  This technique demonstrates to readers that the author considered both sides of the argument and that the argument being presented is not entirely one sided.  Thus, what the author is doing here is conceding the point that tablets can be cost prohibitive.  However, when conceding a point, it is best to immediately follow it up with a rebuttal.  In this particular instance, what the author should do is include information on cost and perhaps try to undermine the point being conceded by mentioning the cost of text books, which can, too, be quite pricey and cannot be updated as easily as information on a tablet. </span>

How is Wordsworth’s definition of poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" a reflection of the Romantic period?
Vaselesa [24]
The Romantic period is characterized by passion and emotion being more credible and trustworthy than logic and reason. Wordsworth defines poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" reflects Romanticism because it is full of feeling, not thinking. An Enlightenment definition would be something like "literary work expressing something using style and rhythm." This definition shows the importance of feelings over thinking for Wordsworth, and how reality doesn't matter in his style. Poetry was the form of choice because it lacks structure especially since most Romantics wrote in blank verse, completely devoid of structure. Poetry is meant to be an emotional art form without structure in blank verse, and Romantics preferred feeling, so lack of structure would remove an obstacle to really let emotions shine in their work.

Crazy boy [7]
I already used this for a test so you might want to rephrase it:

<span>Scientists have often wondered what bellybutton lint is made up of. An Austrain chemist named Georg Steinhauser decided to find out, and since he had a belly button, he searched himself! He examined over 500 pieces to see what the lint has occupied. He found that it has cotton from clothes, AND dead skin, sweat, basically the stuff our body resists and extracts. Goerg Steinhauser found all this out within a teeny tiny part of your stomach.

Hope this helps!
