Which sentence uses italics correctly? a. ivan read aloud the short poem dark skies at dusk from a poetry journal. b. my cousin in paris subscribes to two newspapers, "le figaro" and "le monde." c. he has a difficult time spelling words like colonel and receipt. d. when i ignore the alarm clock, my father bursts into my room singing the song oh, what beautiful mornin'.

The correct answer is B, 'My cousin in Paris subscribes to two newpapers, "Le Figaro" and "Le Monde"', because the titles of newspapers and magazines must be italicized. A is incorrect because only long poems are italicized, C is incorrect because ordinary words such as 'colonel' and 'receipt' do not need to be italicized, and D is incorrect because song titles are not italicized.

Hope this helps!

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.
