Which line in this excerpt from george eliot's the mill on the floss is an example of direct characterization? "what! hasn't she been playing with you all this while? " said the father. "she'd been thinking o' nothing but your coming home." "i haven't seen her this two hours," says tom, commencing on the plumcake. "goodness heart; she's got drownded! " exclaimed mrs. tulliver, rising from her seat and running to the window. "how could you let her do so? " she added, as became a fearful woman, accusing she didn't know whom of she didn't know what. "nay, nay, she's none drownded," said mr. tulliver. "you've been naughty to her, i doubt, tom? " "i'm sure i haven't, father," said tom, indignantly. "i think she's in the house." "perhaps up in that attic," said mrs. tulliver, "a-singing and talking to herself, and forgetting all about meal-times." "you go and fetch her down, tom," said mr. tulliver, rather sharply,–his perspicacity or his fatherly fondness for maggie making him suspect that the lad had been hard upon "the little un," else she would never have left his side. "and be good to her, do you hear? else i'll let you know better." tom never disobeyed his father, for mr. tulliver was a peremptory man, and, as he said, would never let anybody get hold of his whip-hand; but he went out rather sullenly, carrying his piece of plumcake, and not intending to reprieve maggie's punishment, which was no more than she deserved.

"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
