The legend of sleepy hollow

by washington irving (excerpt)

"spare the rod and spoil the child."—ichabod crane’s scholars certainly were not spoiled.
i would not have it imagined, however, that he was one of those cruel potentates of the school, who joy in the smart of their subjects; on the contrary, he administered justice with discrimination rather than severity; taking the burden off the backs of the weak, and laying it on those of the strong. your mere puny stripling, that winced at the least flourish of the rod, was passed by with indulgence; but the claims of justice were satisfied by inflicting a double portion on some little, tough, wrong-headed, broad-skirted dutch urchin, who sulked and swelled and grew dogged and sullen beneath the birch. all this he called "doing his duty by their parents; " and he never inflicted a chastisement without following it by the assurance, so consolatory to the smarting urchin, that "he would remember it, and him for it the longest day he had to live."

what important fact about ichabod crane comes to light in the passage?

a. ichabod was a just teacher who treated his students impartially.
b. ichabod was a good teacher who tried to do right by his students.
c. ichabod was a fair teacher who was misunderstood by his students.
d. ichabod was an unjust teacher who punished his students with prejudice.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
