Iam in the middle of a !

read the passage from the time traveler's guide to elizabethan england.

there are no roads across this wasteland, only track ways. elizabethans see it as good for nothing but pasture, tin mining, and the steady water supply it provides by way of the rivers that rise there. many people are afraid of such moors and forests. they are "the ruthless, vast and gloomy woods . . by nature made for murders and for rapes,” as shakespeare writes in titus andronicus. certainly no one will think of dartmoor as beautiful. sixteenth-century artists paint wealthy people, prosperous cities, and food, not landscapes.

what is the effect of the author’s word choice in the passage?

a) it creates a condescending tone that conveys the author’s dislike of the countryside.

b) it supports the author’s purpose of challenging the image of the romantic countryside.

c) it emphasizes the author’s position that travelers should go visit the countryside.

d) it uses second-person point of view to compare the author’s and reader’s views of the countryside.

"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
