Brainiest and 10 points! read the following excerpt from alfred noyes’s narrative poem "the highwayman." which three literary elements do these stanzas contain? the wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees. the moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas. the road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, and the highwayman came riding— riding—riding— the highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door. he’d a french cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin, a coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin. they fitted with never a wrinkle. his boots were up to the thigh. and he rode with a jewelled twinkle, his pistol butts a-twinkle, his rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky. over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard. he tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred. he whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there but the landlord’s black-eyed daughter, bess, the landlord’s daughter, plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair. characters plot theme setting flashback

The arctic national wildlife refuge is home to caribou, moose, musk oxen, wolves, foxes, grizzlies, polar bears and migratory birds. leaders in the oil industry believe the refuge is the perfect site for the “environmentally sensitive exploration” of oil. environmentalists are wondering: what will become of the wildlife? president george w. bush, oil-industry leaders and others believe that americans will benefit from the oil that lies under the snow-filled surface of the refuge. in their opinion, the oil will reduce high fuel prices and decrease our need for oil from other countries. i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? americans are the largest consumers of oil. instead of drilling for oil, we should decrease our need for foreign oil simply by using less. we must all work together to cut back on the oil we use in order to preserve the wildlife of the arctic national wildlife refuge. what type of argument is used in this paragraph? i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? a. appeal to emotion c. appeal to logic b. bandwagon d. none of the above select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d
