15.Seemed tipped with wings of color,
16.That tinged the atmosphere.

To answer the first question, which type of figurative language is found in lines 6 and 7, you can examine the given lines "And the air was stifling sweet, with the breath of many flowers." The phrase "And the air was stifling sweet" seems to describe the air as being very sweet and overpowering. This particular type of figurative language attributes a human quality to the air, making it seem like it is stifling with the smell of flowers. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Personification.
From the figurative language identified in the previous question, which is personification, you can deduce that the air was filled with the intense scent of many flowers. The speaker portrays the air as being stifled by the smell of the flowers, which suggests a strong and overwhelming scent. Therefore, the correct answer to question 2 is C - The air was filled with the intense scent of many flowers.
Moving on to question 3, where can you find a metaphor in the poem? Metaphors directly compare two unrelated things without using "like" or "as." Examining the poem, the line "To pick where none could miss them, a thousand orchises" seems to use a metaphor. Here, the speaker compares the act of picking flowers to picking a thousand orchises, emphasizing the abundance of flowers. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Line 10 and 11.
