Personification is giving inanimate objects human qualities.
example: the tree reach out its arm and graze the girl’s hair
simile is comparing two things using “like” or “as”
example: her face was as red as an apple
D) shows the social order of the plantation asd enacted by animals characters
That expression can be simplified by combining like terms.
Like terms are terms that have the same variable(s) and the same exponent(s).
The like terms are 7x and 9x.
You can combine like terms by adding the coefficients (the number in front of the exponent) together and then tacking on the variable at the end.
7x + 9x = 16x
Add 16x back to the term that can't be combined (-8y), and the simplified expression is 16x - 8y
The statement about compound subjects that is false is: In a sentence with a compound subject connected by and, the verb agrees with the closer subject. This is a false statement because a compound subject connected with the word "and" should take the plural form of the verb.
