d) free or excepted from something expected of others

Explanation:

In Chief Seattle's environmental speech about the American government's attempts to buy their land, he emphasized the importance of the sanctity of their land. He reiterates that to 'the red man', the earth and everything in it are all related to them, be it a brother or a mother or anything. Even the air and the wind are precious to them, which the white men have no regard for. The ground is sacred for it holds the ashes of their forefathers. By pointing out that "Even the white man, whose God walks and talks with him as friend to friend, cannot be exempt from the common destiny", he shows the sameness of everyone, be it them or the white men, for even the white man is not exempted or free from the common fate of all, that is death. So, what is expected of them (the Red Indians) will also one day happen to the white men too.

"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
