Column B
a.
These lines contain a hyperbole that creates a vivid image.

b.
The passage of prose contains a metaphor that shows how we are all connected.

c.
These lines contain alliteration, which creates rhythm.

d.
These lines give human abilities such as singing and language to nature.

e.
These lines use a simile to show the power of nature.

A simile is a comparison using like or as. In this example the author is comparing the person falling to a thunderbolt. This comparison shows nature's power.

By describing the birds, winds, and waterfalls as singing, the author is giving these non-human things human-like qualities. This is also known as personification.

The passage says that "we are all part of a family". This shows how everyone is connected in this metaphor of everyone being in the same family and sharing air, water, and soil.

The description of the birds stretching across the entire sky all day long is an over exaggeration of how many birds were actually flying south. While there may have been many, it would not have covered the whole sky, all day long.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of a group of words to create a sound effect. In this passage the "w" sound is repeated to give the passage a rhythm.

Answer:

O if we but knew what we do When we delve or hew—Hack and rack the growing green!"

Answer:E

Internet Is Not a Substitute for Libraries Earlier, students could only scan libraries to research for their essays and reports. However, living in the age of the internet has made accessing information easier than ever. The internet as a source of information has enabled many students, researchers, professionals, and even teachers to effectively and quickly improve their work. But it is not the best source of research. People can write whatever they think or feel about a subject and publish it on the internet, which can be biased, inaccurate, and even insensitive. Libraries, on the other hand, only house selective and original resource materials that have been thoroughly researched and reviewed before being published. A major problem with the internet is that the information is uncatalogued and saturated with a lot more information than what is needed. For instance, a search engine will provide an ample amount of recent content regardless of how useful. Libraries have not only a proper classifying system to organize all the information but also a person to sort and filter that information. Still, many people argue that libraries are not ideal for research because they do not work around the clock, but the originality and many benefits of libraries are undeniable. Therefore, the internet, despite being an essential tool for modern life, should not be the only nof research for students to explore. 3 Select the correct answer. What claim does the author make about the resource materials available on the internet? A. The information is exclusive and provides an in-depth analysis of a topic. B. The information is unreliable because the internet lacks quality control. C. The information is unfiltered and provides a platform for opposing views and opinions. D. The information is instant because of how easy it is to upload information on the internet.
