Answer 1

Answer:

1) A hawker is a vendor of merchandise that can be easily transported; the term is roughly synonymous with costermonger or peddler. Whether stationary or mobile, hawkers often advertise by loud street cries or chants, and conduct banter with customers, to attract attention and enhance sales. In this poem, the hawker is advertising his collection of bangles (Option a)

2) ' Everyday, I meet the Hawker crying, "Bangles, crystal bangles!" '

3) Miss/Mister, How will I know the speaker of the poem? You haven't even showed us the poem name in the picture, so how do you even expect this answer? ;-; (According to me, the speaker might be the poet of this poem)

4) There are two examples of repetition in this poem:

i)  "I wish I were a gardener digging away at the garden with nobody to stop me from digging"

ii) "There is nothing to hurry him on, there is no road he must take, no place he must go, no time when he must come home" (I suggest you write this one, as you will get full marks if you write this answer)

5) The difference between a hawker and a shopkeeper is that a hawker does not have a fixed shop. He goes from street to street selling his wares. A shopkeeper has a fixed shop and people who want to buy his goods must go to his shop.

I really hope this helped you, looking forward to help you out in other problems. Have a nice day! <3 (Pls mark me brainliest, as this answer took some time)
