Answer:
1. Heed his slippery words, his wicked ways.
Explanation:
Poetic language tends to use a lot more descriptive words and often doesn't get straight to the point. It uses heavy figure of speech and usually forces you to really think about what it's trying to say.
All of those other choices either came right out and told you what was happening, or it wasn't descriptive.
Passage 1
excerpt from William Jefferson Clinton, Second Inaugural Address, January 20, 1997
This is the heart of our task. With a new vision of government, a new sense of responsibility, a new spirit of community, we will sustain America's journey. The promise we sought in a new land we will find again in a land of new promise.
In this new land, education will be every citizen's most prized possession. Our schools will have the highest standards in the world, igniting the spark of possibility in the eyes of every girl and every boy. And the doors of higher education will be open to all. The knowledge and power of the Information Age will be within reach not just of the few, but of every classroom, every library, every child. Parents and children will have time not only to work, but to read and play together. And the plans they make at their kitchen table will be those of a better home, a better job, the certain chance to go to college.
Passage 2
adapted from Herbert Hoover, Inaugural Address, Monday, March 4, 1929
Although education is primarily a responsibility of the States and local communities, and rightly so, yet the Nation as a whole is vitally concerned in its development everywhere to the highest standards and to complete universality. Self-government can succeed only through an instructed electorate. Our objective is not simply to overcome illiteracy1. The Nation has marched far beyond that. The more complex the problems of the Nation become, the greater is the need for more and more advanced instruction. Moreover, as our numbers increase and as our life expands with science and invention, we must discover more and more leaders for every walk of life. We cannot hope to succeed in directing this increasingly complex civilization unless we can draw all the talent of leadership from the whole people. One civilization after another has been wrecked upon the attempt to secure sufficient leadership from a single group or class. If we would constantly refresh our leadership with the ideals of our people, we must draw constantly from the general mass. The full opportunity for every boy and girl to rise through the selective processes of education can alone secure to us this leadership.
Which of the following topics is only discussed in Passage 2?
A.
the need to overcome illiteracy
B.
the need for good leadership
C.
the importance of family time
D.
the importance of a good job

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created equal."
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate1—we can not hallow2, this ground—The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us —that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish3 from the earth.

A.

B.

D.
honor the fallen by ensuring the survival of a democratic government.
C; Teaching others that sacrifices that have been made are known to set an example for the current generation and so that they may continue on the work.
Why do poets use sound effects like rhyme, assonance, consonance, and anaphora in a poem
Answer:
Alliteration, anaphora, assonance, and consonance are all poetic sound devices. They use repetition to create sounds and set the mood within a poem. These sounds can be pleasing if the poet wants the reader to feel relaxed, abrasive if the reader should feel tense, or any other mood.

Read the paragraph below (from Ray Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day") aloud and with expression. Emphasize different words to change the meaning of the passage. Write one or two sentences discussing how the emphasis changes the meaning of the sentence.
It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy there were tidal waves that came over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again. And this was the way life was forever on the planet Venus, and this was the schoolroom of the children of the rocket men and women who had come to a raining world to set up civilization and live out their lives.
Answer: All you have to do is change a couple words like storm to sunshine and give an explanation on how it changes parts of the story in this case it changes the setting which kind of changes the mood... if you do this with a couple other words you'll be done!
