Question 1 of 5 The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

Question 2 of 5 I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
'I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.'

The answer is: An extended metaphor.
This question uses the same Emily Dickinson poem. In this poem, which two things are being compared?
The answer is: Hope is compared to a bird.
Question 1:
The correct answer is: A cat is being described using a fog metaphor.
To understand the context and get the answer, you need to read the lines carefully and analyze the metaphors used. The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes and the yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes suggest a cat rubbing against a window. This indicates that a cat is being described.
Question 2:
The correct answer is: Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
To identify the personification in the excerpt, you need to look for objects or things that are given human characteristics or actions. In this case, "fluttering and dancing" is an example of personification because it gives the daffodils, which are flowers, the ability to dance and move like human beings.
Question 3:
The correct answer is: Beside the lake, beneath the trees.
To spot the simile in the given excerpt, you need to identify a comparison between two unlike things using "like" or "as." In this case, the line "beside the lake, beneath the trees" is a simile as it compares the location of the daffodils to being "like" or "as" something else.
Question 4:
The correct answer is: An extended metaphor.
To determine the type of figurative language used in the Emily Dickinson poem, you need to analyze the overall structure and theme of the poem. In this case, the entire poem revolves around the concept of hope and it is extended throughout the verses. Therefore, it is an extended metaphor, where hope is compared to a bird that perches in the soul and sings without words.
Question 5:
The correct answer is: Hope is compared to a bird.
To identify the two things being compared in the Emily Dickinson poem, you need to analyze the imagery and metaphorical language used. In this case, the poem compares hope to a bird, as it describes hope as "the thing with feathers" and talks about its actions and resilience, such as perching and singing.
