Antwortdetails
The recurrence of a rhythmic pattern of stress in a poem is called "metre". Metre is a musical term that refers to the pattern of beats in a line of poetry. It is created by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line. The pattern can be regular or irregular, and different types of metre have different names, such as iambic pentameter or trochaic tetrameter. The metre of a poem can greatly affect its mood, tone, and overall impact on the reader.

Here in the station it is in no way different save that the city is busy in its snow. But the old men cling to their seats as though they were symbolic and could not be given up. Now and then they sleep, their grey old heads resting with painful awkwardness on the backs of the benches
Also they are not at rest. For an hour they may sleep in the gasping exhaustion of the ill-nourished and aged. who have to walk in the night. Then a policeman comes by on his rounds and nudges them upright.
''You can't sleep here'', he growls.
A strange ritual then begins. An old man is difficult to wake. One man after a slight lurch, does not move at all, droning centre of the hive rather than in some lonely room fulfilled.
''.... on the backs of the benches'' illustrates
Antwortdetails
The phrase "on the backs of the benches" illustrates personification. This is because personification is the attribution of human qualities to non-human things. In this context, the benches are given the human quality of having a back, which allows the old men to rest their heads on them.
Frage 9 Bericht
Unrhymed iambic pentametre lines illustrate
Antwortdetails
Unrhymed iambic pentameter lines illustrate blank verse. Blank verse is a type of poetry that consists of unrhymed lines of iambic pentameter. This means that each line has ten syllables with a pattern of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (iambic). Blank verse is often used in Shakespeare's plays and is sometimes referred to as "Shakespearean verse." It is commonly used in dramatic and epic poetry and provides a natural and rhythmic flow to the language without the constraints of rhyme.

Antwortdetails
The major genres of Literature are Poetry, Drama, and Prose. 1. Poetry is a form of literary art that uses language to evoke emotions and express ideas, often with a musical quality. Poems can be structured in many ways, such as rhyme, meter, or free verse. 2. Drama is a form of literature that is intended to be performed on stage in front of an audience. It includes plays, musicals, and operas, and often explores complex themes and issues through dialogue and action. 3. Prose refers to any written or spoken language that is not poetry or drama, and includes many forms such as novels, short stories, essays, and biographies. Prose typically follows a more straightforward narrative structure and can be either fiction or non-fiction. These three genres have different forms and techniques for expressing ideas and emotions, and are essential in understanding and appreciating literature.

Frage 17 Bericht
''The strong gongs groaming as the guns born far'' illustrates
Antwortdetails
The phrase "The strong gongs groaning as the guns born far" illustrates onomatopoeia, which is the use of words that imitate the sound they represent. In this case, the words "gongs" and "groaning" imitate the sound of bells ringing, and the word "guns" imitates the sound of explosions. The use of onomatopoeia in this line helps to create a vivid auditory image of a battle, adding to the overall sensory experience of the poem.

The odd item out is "Rhythm". Euphemism, oxymoron, and hyperbole are all figures of speech, which are used in literature and everyday language to create certain effects.

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggeration for emphasis or effect. On the other hand, rhythm is a musical term that refers to the pattern of beats or accents in a piece of music, and it is not a figure of speech.

Frage 47 Bericht
The major distinctive feature of drama is
Antwortdetails
The major distinctive feature of drama is dialogue. Dialogue is the spoken interaction between characters on stage, and it is what moves the story forward. Unlike other forms of literature, such as prose or poetry, drama is meant to be performed and heard, rather than read. Therefore, dialogue is essential for conveying the characters' emotions, motivations, and relationships, as well as the plot and themes of the play. While setting and plot are important elements of drama, it is through the dialogue that the characters and their conflicts come to life on stage. Epilogue, on the other hand, is a concluding section that follows the main body of a literary work, and it is not a distinctive feature of drama.
