11 multiple choice 1 point
what does the idiom till kingdom comes mean (81)?
very active in the church
a very long time: forever
crazy or insane
peculiar, surprising, or confused

Explanation:

For question 10:

• Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds. This excerpt doesn't show that.
• Foreshadowing hints at future events. The text about the nursery text doesn't hint at future events in a typical foreshadowing way.
• Allusion is a reference to a well - known person, place, thing, or event. Here, "Be sure thy sin will find thee out" is likely an allusion to a religious or well - known text.
• Flashback is a scene set in an earlier time. This is just a mention of a past object (the text in the nursery), not a full - fledged flashback scene.
• Personification gives human qualities to non - human things. No such element here.
• Imagery uses descriptive language to appeal to the senses. No sensory description focus here.
• Idiom is a phrase with a figurative meaning. This is not an idiom usage.
• Simile uses "like" or "as" for comparison. No such structure.
• Metaphor is an implicit comparison. No comparison here.

For question 11:

• "Till kingdom comes" is an idiom. It doesn't refer to church activity (very active in the church).
• It is commonly used to mean a very long time, forever.
• It doesn't mean crazy or insane.
• It doesn't mean peculiar, surprising, or confused.

Answer:

1. C. allusion
2. B. A very long time; forever
