Metaphor

English
1 answer:
Yanka [14]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Metaphor is the literary device in which two disconnected/different things are compared. Simile is also a comparison between two disconnected things, but simile uses words such as "like" or "as", while metaphor simple states that "one thing is another".

"The crest of each of these waves was a hill, from the top of which men surveyed, for a moment, a broad tumultuous expanse, shining and wind-riven." - Metaphor.

"As each wave came, and she [the boat] rose for it, she seemed like a horse making at a fence outrageously high." - Simile.

Personification gives human characteristics to objects, animals or ideas.

"If this old fool woman, Fate, cannot do better than this..." - Personification.

Symbolism is when a word is used to symbolize something else. In this example, "uncertainties" represent the waves.

"The open boat is described as 'bobbing along among the universe's uncertainties." - Symbolism.

Which sentence contains a linking verb?
FromTheMoon [43]

The correct answer is B. The president has grown tired of waiting

Explanation:

In grammar, a linking verb or copular verb is a type of verb that does not state one action but connects or links the subject of a sentence with the complement of it by describing a relationship between these two elements. Most common linking verbs include verbs such as be, become or seem and other verbs such as look, sound, taste, feel, grow or appear can work as action verbs expressing an action or as linking verbs. Considering this, in the case presented the sentence that contains a linking verb i "The president has grown tired of waiting", because in this sentence the verb "grown" does not express a specific action but links the subject "The president" with the complement "grown tired" to describe the state of the subject. This means in this case the verb does not express a direct action but links the verb and the complement and therefore the verb is a linking verb.
