Read the following poem and answer the question that follows.
"i like to see it lap the miles" by emily wingspaninson
i like to see it lap the miles,
and lick the valleys up,
and stop to feed itself at tanks;
and then, prodigious, step
around a pile of mountains,
and, supercilious, peer
in shanties by the sides of roads;
and then a quarry pare
to fit its sides, and crawl between,
complaining all the while
in horrid, hooting stanza;
then chase itself down hill
and neigh like boanerges;
then, punctual as a star,
stop—docile and omnipotent—
at its own stable door.
this poem describes a train as if it were a horse. what literary device does the poet use in this poem?
apostrophe
extended simile
misery
extended metaphor

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
