Which is a disadvantage of speaking? a. it takes time to organize your thoughts and words. b. the words and ideas are short-lived and disappear quickly. c. you get immediate feedback from your audience. d. the audience isn't able to ask you any questions.

A. That's not a bad thing to organize yourself and message

B. Some words live on for a long long time (eg: Martin Luther King's "I have a dream speech"). Not all speeches are the same of course

C. Not a bad thing to get feedback

D. This seems like the only possible drawback. When you're speaking, the audience can't ask questions

So that's why I'm thinking the answer is D

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.
