read the following excerpt from gandhi’s “banaras hindu university speech”: i have been told, “had we not done this, had some people not thrown bombs, we should never have gained what we have got with reference to the partition movement.” (mrs. besant: ‘ stop it.’) this was what i said in bengal when mr. lyon presided at the meeting. i think what i am saying is necessary. if i am told to stop i shall obey. (turning to the chairman) i await your orders. if you consider that by my speaking as i am, i am not serving the country and the empire i shall certainly stop. (cries of ‘go on.’) (the chairman: ‘, explain your object.’) i am simply . . (another interruption). my friends, do not resent this interruption. if mrs. besant this evening suggests that i should stop, she does so because she loves india so well, and she considers that i am erring in thinking audibly before you young men. but even so, i simply say this, that i want to purge india of this atmosphere of suspicion on either side. unlike written literature, speeches can be directly influenced by an audience. consider the interruption that occurs during gandhi’s speech. what tone does he use when addressing this interruption? how does the language he uses to address the interruption influence his presentation—negatively or positively?

"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
