boss Tola,literature guru...i salute you ma’am.

Aesthetics-deals with beauty:the study of emotion and mind in relation to beauty....

Allonym-nil

Cacophony-disagreement of sounds/making unpleasant sounds

Peripetia-change/reversal of fortune

Anagrosis(i think there is an error in the spelling#i stand to be corrected tho#i think you meant Anagnorisis)-its a point that leads to denouement whereby the tragic hero discovers the trap/evil plan set for him by the antagonist


Anaphora-deliberate repetition of words in a sentence


memoir is an account of a persons life written by him or her;also an autobiography while resume is a short summary/account of oneself

Oluwatola5: Lolzzzzz.....my honourable sweetheart.

Your (I) is correct
ii) Fynest has helped out already
3)Wrong, Cacophony is the rhythm or beating of music.
(iv)Very correct.
(v)yes ma'am, thanks for the correction. You got that also.
(vi)Anaphora, you got it only that you didnt add something that makes it different from Refrain, Repetition and Epistrophe and that is; it is at the beginning of successive lines.
(vi)You got your memoir correctly, you resume wasnt complete coz you forgot to add that it is a summary of a person's educational/professional career, wch can also be called Curriculum Vitae.
