30 points! the climax of "the oasis: africa" is when the traveling men find the oasis. which of the following answer choices support this fact? for eight weary days we had crawled across the burning desert. in all directions stretched the wastes of the mighty sahara. sand, sand, and always sand; hills of sand, valleys of sand, and paths of sand. sand in the scanty food, sand in the brackish water—water that was drunk lukewarm from a clammy, loathsome water-skin. sand in one’s mouth, nose, and eyes. this danger past, we had lost another day making a wide detour to the east in order to avoid the fierce, tameless tuaregs, who were marauding in the district. matchlocks were primed, cartridges rammed home, and swords loosened in their sheaths. was it the tuaregs again across our path? but mohammed, the keen-eyed, shouted joyfully— “the oasis, the oasis! i see the palm-trees.” the oasis was set in the sand of the desert like an emerald on a shield of gold. the massive green foliage of the graceful palms was delightfully welcome to eyes smarting and sore with the glare of the eternal sand. how delightful it was to sit in the shade of a moss-grown bank, while at one’s feet a brook ran babbling, picking its way through the cultivated patches!

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
