Camilla volunteers at a local natural history museum, where there is a new fossil on display. Her mentor at the museum, a fossil scientist, has asked her to write an informative text about the fossil to attach to the display. Here is the first paragraph from her work:

Scientists have uncovered a new species of ichthyosaur. According to researchers, the animal “was the most highly adapted of all marine reptiles.” The animal’s scientific name Thalattoarchon saurophagis means “lizard-eating ruler of the sea.” Fossils indicate that the creature was no less than twenty-eight feet long, had a fishlike shape, and a head two times larger for its body size than its relatives.

A.
The massive sea creature gave birth to live young.
B.
The animal’s skull has orbits, or bony sockets for the eyes, that measure one foot in diameter.
C.
Like other sea reptiles, T. saurophagis had pointed, cone-shaped teeth suitable for grabbing prey.
D.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, a catastrophic event wiped out 95 percent of marine animals like T. saurophagis.

"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
