Question

What is the effect of using the word "glad" (line 96237) instead of "happy" or "joyous"?

• A. It suggests that the husband is overwhelmed.
• B. It links to "great" and "gave" by alliteration.
• C. It stresses that the husband is a particular person.
• D. It distinguishes between "Jove's great son" and the husband.
• E. It alludes to "I" in line 99020.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

It links to "great" and "gave" by alliteration.

Alliteration is a figure speech in which the same sound is the occurrence of a word or phrase adjacent to it or most likely near to it.

So option B is the correct answer as the line is " Whom Joves great son to her glad husband gave". Phonetic sound is the same

Hence B is correct, all other options do not carry such sound.
