To answer questions 1-9, we need to first read the poem "Rose Pogonias" and analyze the figurative language and imagery used within it. Let's take a look at the poem together.
1. In lines 6 and 7, the figurative language used is "stifling sweet" to describe the air in the meadow. To identify the type of figurative language, we can break down the options:
A. Symbol: A symbol represents an object or idea. Since "stifling sweet" does not represent anything other than the scent of the air, it is not a symbol.
B. Metaphor: A metaphor compares two unrelated things without using "like" or "as." In this case, "stifling sweet" compares the quality of the air to something sweet and overwhelming.
C. (Personification): Personification is when human qualities are attributed to non-human things. "stifling sweet" does not give the air human qualities, so it is not personification.
D. Simile: A simile compares two unrelated things using "like" or "as." Since "stifling sweet" does not use these comparative words, it is not a simile.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Metaphor.
2. Based on the figurative language identified in the previous question (a metaphor in lines 6 and 7), we can conclude that the air was filled with the intense scent of many flowers (Option C). The metaphor suggests that the smell of the flowers was overwhelming, causing the air to be stiflingly sweet.
3. Next, we need to locate a metaphor in the poem. After reading the poem, we can determine that the metaphor can be found in lines 1 and 2, where it describes the meadow as "saturated" and "sun-shaped and jewel small."
Therefore, the answer is A. Lines 1 and 2.
4. Based on the meaning of the metaphor identified in the previous question (in lines 1 and 2), we can conclude that the meadow is shiny like a jewel (Option A). The comparison of the meadow to a jewel suggests that it has a sparkling, beautiful quality.
5. The imagery in lines 6 and 7 appeals to the sense of sight (Option B). The description of the air as "stifling sweet" creates a visual image in our minds.
6. The imagery in the poem creates a cheerful mood (Option B). The vibrant descriptions of the meadow, flowers, and colorful atmosphere evoke a sense of happiness and positivity.
