Answer:

1. All we Karamazovs are such insects, and...that insect lives in you, too.

metaphor

2. Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything, from nothing first create, O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!

oxymoron

3. I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far.

hyperbole

Explanation:

1. metaphor entails an implicit comparison, indicating that something is representative of something else.

"we Karamazovs are such insects" suggests the speaker is likening his family to insects by asserting that they are insects.

2. oxymoron includes juxtaposing two contradictory terms.

"loving hate" exemplifies such a pairing, as do "heavy lightness," "Serious vanity," and "brawling love."

3. hyperbole involves exaggeration for emphasis.

"I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far." This excerpt is a prime example of hyperbole due to its blatant exaggeration.

In which passage is it clearest that the author is using diction to achieve some kind of effect?
Leya [6573]

I would likely assert that the author employed diction to create a specific effect in the initial sentence.

A. The teacher stood at the door smiling brightly and welcoming each student to her classroom on the first day of school.

The word choice used by the author in this sentence depicts the teacher as warm, friendly, and nurturing.
