Answer 1

Hey there!

• $Anaphora$ contains the repetition of a particular word/ phrase that is at the starting point of the successive clauses
• $Sensory$ $language$ appeals to your 5 senses [sight, taste, smell, sound,and touch]
• $Simile$ contains like or as

So, we could cross off "sensory  language" and "anaphora" because those are in correct

This is leaves us with options $\boxed{B. metaphor [AND] D. Simile}$ as your answer

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer 2

Answer:

Sensory language and Smile.

Explanation:

In this passage written by Dante, we can find evidence of sensory language when the author uses sensory words (peel away, sees). Although we as readers are not meant to experience this scene, we are meant to have a visual aid of how it is. In this instance, the sensory language is used to help the reader see the scene better.

In addition, Dante mastered the use of smile, which is a figure of speech that makes comparison. Unlike metaphor, a smile uses the words “like” or “as” to make a direct comparison. An example of this is in the last line: “[…] To a signal – like a falcon to its call”.

However, there’s no evidence of anaphora since there is a lack of repetition of the first part of the sentence in order to achieve an artistic effect.
