Question 4 Report
I feel a million times better than I felt yesterday is
Answer Details
The statement "I feel a million times better than I felt yesterday" is an example of hyperbole. This is because the speaker is exaggerating their feelings to emphasize how much better they are feeling compared to the previous day. Using the phrase "a million times better" is an exaggeration because it is impossible to feel a million times better, as feeling good is a subjective feeling and cannot be measured in numerical terms.

Answer Details
The dominant literary device in this excerpt is the rhetorical question. This is because the author asks a series of questions that are not intended to be answered directly, but rather to provoke thought and create emphasis on the potential consequences of a deferred dream. The questions also serve to build up a sense of anticipation and create a mood of uncertainty about what might happen to a dream that is put off for too long. Overall, the use of rhetorical questions in this excerpt helps to convey the theme of the poem, which is the negative effects of delaying or denying one's aspirations.

Answer Details
The rhythmic pattern of the above line is iambic. The line consists of ten syllables and follows an iambic meter, which means that it contains five iambs. An iamb is a metrical foot consisting of two syllables, with the first syllable unstressed and the second syllable stressed. In the line "When you are old and grey and full of sleep", the first syllable in each iamb (marked in bold) is unstressed, and the second syllable is stressed. This creates a pattern of da-DUM, da-DUM, da-DUM, da-DUM, da-DUM, which is the rhythm of iambic pentameter. Many famous poets, such as William Shakespeare and John Keats, have used iambic pentameter in their works.

Answer Details
The most intense part of a conflict is the climax. This is the point in the conflict where tensions are at their highest and the outcome of the conflict is uncertain. It's the part of the story where the protagonist and antagonist confront each other directly and the stakes are the highest. The climax is usually the most action-packed and emotionally charged part of the conflict, and it's where the story reaches its peak of intensity. After the climax, the story moves into the denouement or resolution, where loose ends are tied up and the conflict is resolved. The deus ex machina is a plot device where an improbable event or character suddenly appears to resolve the conflict, but it is not typically considered the most intense part of a conflict.
