Excerpt from The Ultimate Fighting Championship
Mary O'Dell
- American interest in mixed martial arts is growing. Both male and female athletes are invited to compete, although this
sport is not recommended for the prima donna. This full contact fighting combines various martial arts techniques so fighters
with different styles can compete against each other. This intriguing sport has convinced more than one athlete that he is not,
in fact, the alpha and the omega! Many people think that all combative sports should be strictly monitored and regulated by
state commissions. It is obvious that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is an organization that promotes combative
athletic events. State athletic commissions should strictly monitor and regulate the UFC.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
