<u>D. Personification</u>

Personification is a metaphor and a literary device that provides a thing, idea, abstract qualities, nature, emotions or event with human characteristics (such as dancing, talking, thinking, among others.). In the excerpt, the narrator uses personification in the sentence by giving "the words" the attribute of dancing (as if they were alive), which is a characteristic of humans: "He felt elated as he watched the words dance across the page"

5. Analyze the claim the author makes about distracted teenage behaviors and evaluate whether the evidence used to support this
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

After realizing a trial with green and red circles, where the participants had to find a correct target in order to obtain a reward, Zachary Rooper and his team announced that the attention of adolescents is related to rewarding information.  

<em>Once the  teenage brain has linked a behavior to that reward, it continues to seek the reward again and again.   That’s why teens are likely to opt for the reward of social media when they should be studying. Or why  they respond to texts while driving. </em>

Explanation:

This evidence cannot be sufficient to support his statement that teenage brains are constantly seeking to reward. Teenage distractions and lack of attention could be related to their studying habits and their interests, not with the rewards they are expecting from social media websites. Although the rewarding system can motivate middle school and high school students, it should not be related to another habit in their life. It's true that many parents reward their children for achieving good results at school, but their concentration is also related to their personality, study habits, etc.

Therefore, Rooper's statement could be partially applied to the teenage population, but it shouldn't determine their behavior, as some of these behaviors are related to their age and the essential period of their development.

Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

A. The simile compares the poison to a fast-moving, toxic element, emphasizing its deadliness.

Explanation:

The ghost doesn't compare the uncle to poison. Nor does he personify the vial. He is literally explaining how the uncle poisoned him by poured the poisonous plant hebona into his ear. Lastly, an apostrophe in literature is when you address someone who isn't there. The ghost isn't addressing the uncle. I believe he is speaking to Hamlet in this scene.
