Shining with all his might:

18. When the evening sun is low.

14. For this question, you need to define and provide an example of alliteration, repetition, and onomatopoeia, and explain how poets use these sound devices to enhance mood and meaning in their poems.
- Alliteration: It refers to the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words in a phrase or line. Example: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers." Poets use alliteration to create rhythm, highlight certain words, or create a musical effect in their poems.
- Repetition: It involves repeating words, phrases, or lines in a poem to create emphasis or reinforce a certain idea or feeling. Example: "I have a dream that one day..."
- Onomatopoeia: It is the use of words that imitate the sound they represent. Example: "buzz," "hiss," "crash." Poets use onomatopoeia to create vivid imagery and enhance the auditory experience of the reader.
Ports use these sound devices to enhance mood and meaning in their poems by creating a sensory experience for the reader. The use of alliteration, repetition, and onomatopoeia helps to evoke specific emotions and create vivid imagery related to the port's subject matter. For example, the repetition of a soothing sound like waves crashing can create a calm and tranquil mood in a poem about the ocean, while the harsh sounds of alliteration can convey tension and unease in a poem about a storm at sea. Evidence can be provided by analyzing specific examples of sound devices and their impact on the overall mood and meaning of a poem.

16. To answer this question, you need to determine the function and corresponding punctuation of the given sentence. The sentence "Go get the paper towels from under the sink" is giving a command or instruction, which is called an imperative sentence. Imperative sentences are often punctuated with a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!). So the correct answer is C) Imperative (. or !).
17. To answer this question, you need to identify the sentence that includes a dependent clause. The sentence that includes a dependent clause is D) "I've watched so many movies that take place in London."

So the correct answer is B) we are going to pick the peppers.
