“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Part A
Which of the lines uses figurative language to BEST convey the message that the United States of America is a land of opportunity?

“‘Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!’ cries she”

“‘I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’”

“‘The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.’”

“‘Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me’”
Part B
Which of the following BEST explains how the figure of speech you chose in Part A conveys the message of American opportunity?

The phrase “storied pomp” refers to the riches, which the immigrants may gain by coming to the United States.

The phrase “golden door” conveys the message of American opportunity because it suggests both a precious metal and something opening.

In “wretched refuse” and “teeming shore,” Lazarus emphasizes the poverty that motivated many immigrants to come to the United States of America.

By calling the immigrants “homeless” and “tempest-tost,” the poet emphasizes the misery and danger they are leaving behind for new opportunity in the United States.

"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
