From research, i saw the same question with the excerpt:
<span>He sate, and eyed the sun, and wish'd the night;
Slow seem'd the sun to move, the hours to roll,
His native home deep-imaged in his soul.
As the tired ploughman, spent with stubborn toil,
Whose oxen long have torn the furrow'd soil,
Sees with delight the sun's declining ray,
When home with feeble knees he bends his way
To late repast (the day's hard labour done);
So to Ulysses welcome set the sun;
</span>
The choices are:
<span>simile
epic simile
metaphor
epithet
</span>
So the answer is "EPIC SIMILE"
I think the first option would answer the question best.
He was described is third person.
He was described as a small child, even smaller than a child. His belly was big, and he groomed the hairs on his toes then described why they and hairy toes. Then what he was wearing for that day, and then the his back story of his half family the tolkens.
hope this helps and also recalled this all by memory! XD can i get brainly for remmbering that?
