Answer 1

Hello!



Which excerpt illustrates apostrophe?

"World, World, I cannot hold thee close enough!"

That is the correct answer because in this scenario, apostrophe is being used as a figure of speech. Once we identify that the speaker is talking to the world, it it easy to see that the speaker communicating with it as if it was a person that could possibly understand them, although it cannot.

Hope this helps!!
