Sea fever
by john masefield

i must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
and all i ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
and the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
and a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.

i must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
and all i ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
and the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

i must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life.
to the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
and all i ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
and quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

which figure of speech does the speaker in the poem use to emphasize why he longs to be at sea?
a. alliteration
b. onomatopoeia
c. repetition
d. assonance

Announcer two: ladies and gentlemen, following on the news given in our bulletin a moment ago, the government meteorological bureau has requested the large observatories of the country to keep an astronomical watch on any further disturbances occurring on the planet mars. due to the unusual nature of this occurrence, we have arranged an interview with noted astronomer professor pierson, who will give us his views on the event. in a few moments we will take you to the princeton observatory at princeton, new jersey. we return you until then to the music of ramón raquello and his orchestra. the passage is from the transcript of the radio adaptation of the war of the worlds by h. g. wells. instead of including expert interviews, h. g. wells uses a narrator to tell about an alien invasion that occurred a few years earlier. by including expert interviews, how does the radio broadcast change the story most effectively? o.a. it puts the story in the past tense, increasing its personal tone. o o b. it makes the broadcast sound more like a fictional story. o o c. it makes the broadcast sound like a news report. o d. it makes the story sound less believable by changing who presents the story's details.
