Sample Questions

A preview of the questions you will encounter in the Language and Literature activities.

Literary Devices Activity

Identify the literary device in the following sentence and explain its effect: "The wind whispered secrets through the ancient trees."

Answer: This is personification — the wind is given the human ability to whisper secrets. The effect creates an intimate, mysterious atmosphere, suggesting the natural world holds hidden knowledge, and draws the reader into a sensory experience.
Rhetoric Activity

A speech begins: "Are we going to sit back and watch our oceans fill with plastic? Are we going to tell our children we did nothing?" Identify the rhetorical technique and explain why it is effective.

Answer: The speaker uses rhetorical questions combined with anaphora ("Are we going to..."). This is effective because it directly challenges the audience, creates a sense of urgency, and implies that inaction is morally unacceptable — compelling the listener to agree with the speaker's position.
