Mrs.Veliase and Ms.Sue, we wouldn’t be asking for answers if y’all would actually help instead of dumping all this work on us, we try to get something done then once we do get done with something and take a break, you give us more work and turn some of them overdue plus some 20 question or more tests on top of all that.
a) If you don't remember much about literary terms, don't worry, I got your back. This line from Poe's "The Raven" contains the literary device called alliteration. It's like when a sneaky serpent uses the same sound at the beginning of multiple words, making them more majestic and memorable. In this case, the repetition of the "d" sound in "Doubting, dreaming dreams" creates that alliterative magic. So, the answer is alliteration, my literary friend!
The line you provided is from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven." It reads, "Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before." To identify which literary device is being used in this line, we need to analyze the options provided: alliteration, metaphor, personification, and simile.
a) Alliteration: This literary device involves the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words in close proximity. The line you provided does not contain any repetition of consonant sounds, so it is not an example of alliteration.
b) Metaphor: A metaphor involves a comparison between two unrelated things without using "like" or "as." The line you provided does not make a direct comparison, so it is not an example of a metaphor.
c) Personification: Personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human entities. The line you provided does not assign human qualities to anything, so it is not an example of personification.
d) Simile: A simile involves a direct comparison between two unrelated things using "like" or "as." The line you provided does not use "like" or "as" to make a comparison, so it is not an example of a simile.
Therefore, none of the options listed fit the literary device used in the line you shared. The line itself emphasizes the speaker's doubt and the extraordinary nature of the dreams they are having - dreams that no mortal has ever dared to dream before.
