Explanation:

Analyze Question 27

Using the William Trevor Fiction knowledge point, we examine the Middletons in William Trevor's short story "The Distant Past." They begin as wealthy, prominent Anglo-Irish landowners loyal to the British Crown, but as time passes and Ireland changes, they lose their wealth and status, eventually being viewed as peculiar, harmless relics of a bygone era by the townspeople.

Analyze Question 28

Using the Literary Devices and Victorian Literature knowledge points, we analyze the excerpt from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "Sonnet 43." The lines "I love thee to the depth and breadth and height / My soul can reach" use extreme exaggeration to describe the spatial dimensions of the speaker's love, which is a classic example of hyperbole.
