Grade 7 Quiz Understanding Language Use and Literary Devices – RL.7.4

The educational standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.4 calls for students to analyze how language is used in texts, focusing on the meaning of words and phrases, including their figurative and connotative meanings. Additionally, students explore the impact of sound repetitions like rhyme and alliteration within poems, stories, or dramas. This deep analysis helps in appreciating the stylistic choices made for effect, understanding underlying themes and emotions, and interpreting the text beyond its literal meaning.
