in shakespeares julius caesar, he writes, \cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.\ this is an example of... wit syllogism satire question 8 10 pts in shakespeares romeo and juliet, the following lines are an example of... but, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? it is the east, and juliet is the sun. arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief, that thou her maid art far more fair than she metaphor simile idiom

Explanation:

1. The line from Julius Caesar is a clever, concise observation contrasting cowards and the valiant through a paradoxical play on "dying many times," which fits the definition of wit as sharp, intellectual wordplay. Syllogism requires a logical three-part structure, and satire uses humor to critique, neither of which apply here.
2. The lines from Romeo and Juliet directly compare Juliet to the sun ("Juliet is the sun") without using "like" or "as," which is the core definition of a metaphor. A simile uses comparative words, and an idiom is a non-literal phrase with a fixed meaning, neither of which match the text.

Answer:

1. A. wit
2. A. metaphor
