1. The correct answer is D. Personification. The narrator conveys the mood of the market-place through the use of exclamation, hyperbolic language, simile, and connotative adjective, but not through personification.
2. The correct answer is C. Concede the validity of certain qualifications. The phrase "though doubtless" is used to acknowledge that there may be some qualifications or exceptions to a previous assertion.
3. The correct answer is A. Cumulative sentence. A cumulative sentence is a sentence that starts with an independent clause and is followed by additional dependent clauses or phrases. The sentence "Within the church, it had hardly been kept down, but died away at length, in a faint, sweet, hollow, melancholy murmur, like the swellings wind beyond the church, along with which it seemed to mingle" is an example of a cumulative sentence.
4. The correct answer is C. I and III only. The purpose of the third paragraph is to transition from a description of the crowd to a description of the minister (I), and from images of power to images of weakness (III).
5. The correct answer is B. "Inspiration". In the given sentence, the antecedent for "it" is "the inspiration". It is referring to the energy or inspiration that held him up until he delivered the sacred message.
6. The correct answer is D. Believed Dimmesdale's strength to be miraculous. In the context of the novel, Bellingham believed Dimmesdale's strength to be miraculous, as described in the passage.
7. The correct answer is B. Ironic. The crowd's assessment of Dimmesdale's faintness is best described as ironic because they were enthusiastic and supportive of him initially, but now they are surprised and disappointed by his weakness.
