Read the following excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday:I do not speak Kiowa, and I never understood her prayers, but there was something inherently sad in the sound, some merest hesitation upon the syllables of sorrow. She began in a high and descending pitch, exhausting her breath to silence; then again and again—and always the same intensity of effort, of something that is, and is not, like urgency in the human voice. Transported so in the dancing light among the shadows of her room, she seemed beyond the reach of time.Which phrase in the passage most strongly contributes to its overall tone?A.syllables of sorrowB.high and descending pitchC.always the same intensityD.transported in the dancing lightSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

Robert Frost uses several examples of figurative language in "The Road Not Taken." Read the poem again, and then answer the questions.1. Identify and explain at least two examples of imagery and how they contribute to the poem's deeper meaning. 2. Find and explain the example of personification he uses. The Road Not TakenTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler. Long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that, the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
