Read the poem by A. E. Housman. XXXV

When first my way to fair I took
Few pence in purse had I,
And long I used to stand and look
At things I could not buy.

Now times are altered: if I care
To buy a thing, I can;
The pence are here and here's the fair,
But where's the lost young man?

--To think that two and two are four
And neither five nor three
The heart of man has long been sore
And long 'tis like to be.

What type of figurative language is best illustrated in this poem?

I'd go with Symbolism

bc the heart of man has long been sore?

Explanation:

nothing seems to be an undestament

there's no like or as comparisons

there's no irony

the correct answer is

the

third option. in the excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting

for" by senator elizabeth warren, she supports her point by noting:

"for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by.”

warren supported barbara mikulski’s the paycheck fairness act to combat wage

discrimination, as it would to ensure “that salary differences have

something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because

they are women”.
