''The fire gnawed ceaselessly at the bark of the tree'' illustrates
Detalhes da Resposta
The phrase "The fire gnawed ceaselessly at the bark of the tree" is an example of personification, which is a figure of speech where inanimate objects or animals are given human characteristics. In this example, the fire is given the human characteristic of being able to "gnaw" on the bark of the tree, which is not possible for fire as it does not have a physical mouth or teeth to chew. Therefore, this is a personification because it attributes a human quality (gnawing) to a non-human entity (fire).

As they trooped off down the field with their sullen dogs, the farmer started the tractor up and the cutter blade blurred into life
Left alone, Grooby sank into a shocked stupor. His mind whirled around like a fly that dared not alight. A blank vacancy held him. He seemed unable to move, even to wipe away the sweat that collected in his eyebrows and leaked down into his eyes. He sensed that the sun had settled over the earth, so that the air was actually burning gas. He watched the tractor dwindle in the bottom of the field, as if it were melting into a glittering muddle in the haze.

Detalhes da Resposta
The setting of the extract is most likely midday or afternoon. This can be inferred from the description of the sun settling over the earth and the air feeling like "burning gas", which suggests that it is hot and sunny. Additionally, the farmer starts up his tractor and begins cutting something in the field, which is a task typically done during daylight hours. Therefore, the correct answer is either midday or afternoon.

The statement "The king has joined his ancestors" is an example of a euphemism. A euphemism is a mild or indirect word or expression used in place of one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing. In this case, the phrase is a way of saying that the king has died, without using the word "died" directly, which may be considered too harsh or impolite in some cultures or contexts.

Detalhes da Resposta
The literary device in lines 52 and 53 is a metaphor. This is because the speaker is comparing the strongest oaths to straw that can be easily burned by the fire in one's blood. The comparison is not directly stated as in a simile, but rather implied through the use of the words "are" and "to". The metaphor helps to emphasize the speaker's warning to the addressee to be more abstemious and not let their passions control them.

Detalhes da Resposta
The performance art that makes use of gesture only is mime. Mime is a form of theatrical performance that emphasizes physical movement and gesture to tell a story or convey emotions, without the use of words or spoken language. The performers use their bodies to create characters, settings, and situations, using a range of techniques such as facial expressions, body language, and hand gestures. Mime performances can be humorous or serious, and often involve the use of props and costumes to enhance the visual impact of the performance. The art of mime has a long history, dating back to ancient Greece, and has been used in various forms of theater, including vaudeville and contemporary theater. In contrast, comedy, lampoon, and satire are forms of written or spoken humor that rely on language and wordplay to make their point. While physical gestures may be used to enhance these forms of humor, they are not the primary means of expression.

In poetry _ is made up of stressed and unstressed syllables
Detalhes da Resposta
In poetry, the combination of stressed and unstressed syllables is called "meter." Meter creates a rhythmic pattern in a poem and helps to establish its musical quality. There are different types of meters in poetry, but one common type is called "iambic meter." An "iamb" is a metrical foot consisting of two syllables, the first unstressed and the second stressed. This pattern is often compared to the rhythm of a heartbeat: da-DUM, da-DUM, da-DUM. When iambic meter is used consistently throughout a poem, it is called "iambic pentameter," meaning there are five iambs (or ten syllables) per line. Other types of meters include "trochaic meter," which is the opposite of iambic meter and consists of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable (DUM-da, DUM-da, DUM-da), "anapaestic meter," which consists of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable (da-da-DUM, da-da-DUM, da-da-DUM), and "dactylic meter," which consists of a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables (DUM-da-da, DUM-da-da, DUM-da-da). In summary, the combination of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry is called "meter," and one common type of meter is "iambic meter," which consists of two syllables, the first unstressed and the second stressed.

Detalhes da Resposta
In the given extract, the speaker is addressing three men who are described as "men of sin." Based on the clues provided in the text, we can infer that these three men are not fit to live on the island where the speaker is. The men are specifically identified as being brought to the island by the sea, which "belched them up." This suggests that they were shipwrecked or stranded on the island. The speaker also notes that the men are "amongst men" on the island, which implies that they are not alone but are part of a larger group. The three men are not explicitly named in the extract, but we can identify them by looking at the context of the play. In Act III, scene iii of William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," the characters of Alonso, Antonio, and Sebastian are stranded on an island after a shipwreck. The speech in the extract is delivered by the spirit Ariel, who is a servant of the magician Prospero, the main character of the play. Therefore, based on the context of the play and the clues provided in the extract, the "three men of sin" are Alonso, Antonio, and Sebastian.

Detalhes da Resposta
In a play, unfolding events reach their peak in the "climax." The climax is the moment of highest tension or drama in a play, where the conflict or main problem of the story is resolved. It is the point in the story where the audience is most engaged and invested in the outcome. The climax is often followed by the "denouement," which is the resolution or conclusion of the story. The denouement may tie up loose ends and provide closure for the audience. "Catharsis" is a term used to describe the emotional release or purification that the audience may experience during or after a play. It is often associated with tragedy and the feeling of release that comes with a character's recognition or acceptance of their fate. "Conflict" refers to the struggle or tension between characters in a play. While conflict is often a driving force in the plot, it does not necessarily reach its peak at the same time as the climax.

"But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near" illustrates a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is used to describe something by stating that it is something else.
