what kind of figurative language is in this poem? Please explain.
Here further up the mountain slope
Than there was ever any hope,
My father built, enclosed a spring,
Strung chains of wall round everything,
Subdued the growth of earth to grass,
And brought our various lives to pass.
A dozen girls and boys we were.
The mountain seemed to like the stir,
And made of us a little while–
With always something in her smile.
Today she wouldn't know our name.
(No girl's, of course, has stayed the same.)
The mountain pushed us off her knees.
And now her lap is full of trees.

Create an editorial that uses loaded language to persuade readers of an opinion or belief. This option requires a strong, sensationalistic vocabulary. Though your editorial doesn’t need to be factually accurate, it can’t be so ridiculous that it feels like parody!
Answer:
The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies 'something not desirable.' The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

Read the passage.
Johnny was miserable. It was Saturday afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and he was stuck in bed with the flu. His throat felt like sandpaper every time he swallowed, his head felt as if someone had dropped an anvil on it, and he couldn’t stop coughing. His mother had checked his temperature earlier in the day and announced that he was too sick to get out of bed, let alone go outside to enjoy the first warm spring day along with his friends and siblings. From his room, Johnny could hear his sisters' high-pitched squeals of delight and the ringing of their bicycle bells as they rode up and down the sidewalk. He could hear someone bouncing a basketball and the swoop of the ball as it swished through the net. He also heard his best friend, Noah, asking where Johnny was and his sisters' reply that he couldn't come out to play because he was sick. This was too much. Johnny pulled the soft, velvety covers over his aching head and turned to the wall in protest, realizing there was nothing he could do but wait for this virus to take its course. He swore to himself that he would be better by next Saturday and that he would be outside riding his bike and shooting baskets along with everyone else.
The purpose of the sensory language in this passage is to help readers
A. Imagine what Johnny and his sisters look like.
B. Understand how Johnny became so ill.
C. Experience how sick and frustrated Johnny feels.
D. Picture what Johnny's room looks like.
Answer:
C. Experience how sick and frustrated Johnny feels.

These days, fewer and fewer traditional incandescent lightbulbs are being used in homes. This is because lightbulb technology has improved since incandescent bulbs were developed. Incandescent bulbs work by running electricity through a wire inside the bulb. The wire glows, creating light. However, incandescent bulbs waste a lot of electricity by producing heat rather than light. In the past several years, less wasteful LED lights and compact fluorescent bulbs have become increasingly popular for home use.
Which option best evaluates how well the following summary reflects the original passage? Incandescent bulbs are a great form of technology.
A. The summary is weak because it does not accurately convey the meaning of the passage.
B. The summary is strong because it states the main idea of the passage and the most important supporting detail.
C. The summary is strong because it gives a good overview of the passage without getting into minor details.
D. The summary is weak because it focuses on a supporting detail rather than the main idea of the passage.
