"i served them well / with my noble blade, as was only fitting / small pleasure they had in such a sword-feast / dark things in the sea that are meant to eat me"

what literary device is the phrase "sword-feast"?
a) alliteration
b) characterization
c) kenning
d) exposition

The pharse "sword-feast" is a kenning. Option C is correct.

A kenning is a type of circumlocution, in the form of a compound that utilizes figurative language instead of a more concrete single-word noun.

Kenning generally consists  of two words, and are often hyphenated.

In other words, a kenning is a concise compound or figurative phrase which replaces a common noun.

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
