I muttered, knocking my knuckles through the glass, and stretching an arm out to seize the importunate branch; instead of which, my
fingers closed on the fingers of a little, ice-cold hand!
Which figurative language is used in the sentence given?

Alliteration.

Explanation:

Alliteration is a literary device that refers to the use of the same consonant word in consecutive words in a sentence. In other words, we can say that alliteration is when the same consonant sound in close proximity in a sentence.

In the given sentence from "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, the author/ speaker uses the figurative language of alliteration. Alliteration is seen/used in the words "knocking my knuckles" and "fingers closed on the fingers . . ."

Thus, the correct answer is alliteration.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
