Answer:
1. C & D
2. D
Explanation:
1. Although the other options could technically be correct, because "A Dream Within a Dream" does have two stanzas and a certain number of lines, that is not what determines whether or not it is a lyric poem. Lyric poems, as the name suggests, hold song-like qualities that express the user's personal emotions and feelings. Because of this defintion, it is clear that the answer must be C and D
2. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement and refers to something that is not meant to be taken literally. Now, we know that the answer cannot be A because the clown literally could not make money since he was unfunny. This is the literal reason. We can also conclude that B is not the answer, since the statement is said in a serious manner. C cannot be the answer because it is a regular sentence with no exaggeration. Now, for the last choice, the sentence states that the "world rang with laughter", before going on to mentiont that it "lasted til forever". Now, we know that the world cannot actually ring with anything, and since nothing lasts forever we know that this is an exageration; therefore, the answer must be D.
