The given quote is taken from the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and said by Juliet on the banishment of Romeo.

The literary device thatt has been used in this quote is hyperbole, personification, and alliteration.

Hpyerbole is a literary device that is used to exaggerate a point extremely. The word 'hyperbole'  is derived from Greek, which means 'excess.' So, this rhetoric device is used to make an exaggerated point.

In this quote, this rhetoric device is used to exaggerate the point that the banishment of Romeo is like slaying ten thousand Tybalts, which means that Romeo's banishment was worse than the slaying of Tybalt.

Alliteration is a rhetoric device in which the beginning of a word or phrase have same consonant sound. This device is used to highligh a point that the author is trying to make.

In the given quote, the use of this device can be found in the consonant sound of 'that', 'banished', 'ten' and 'Tybalts.'

Personification is the literary device that is used to attribute human characteristics to an inanimate objects or non-human things such as trees, clouds, animals, etc.

In the given extract, personification is used by attributing the human characteristic of slaying to 'word.' 'that one word banished, hath slain slain.' Since a 'word' can not have the ability to 'slain' but it is attributing that the 'word' banished had slain ten thousand Tybalts.

So, the correct answer is hyperbole, personification, and alliteration.

explanation:

read the following excerpt from “greece” by oscar wilde.

the sea was sapphire [colored], and the sky

burned like a heated opal through the air;

we hoisted sail; the wind was blowing fair

for the blue lands that to the eastward lie.

which words does the poet include to the reader visualize the scene?

“the sea was sapphire”

“through the air”

“was blowing fair”

“to the eastward lie”

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.
