c. metaphorIn the above passage, the figurative language that exists is
in the form of the following words: “starless
midnight of racism and war.” We know the
figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the
words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present. We know the figurative language is not
personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human
things, and this is not occurring here.
We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a
hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an
exaggeration here. Thus, we can conclude
that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons
that are not literally applicable. That
said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war,
it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.
After a country loses a war it would be logical that to keep citizens’ enthusiasm up, it would be required to disinform the citizens for them to continue working hard and not revolting. Unfortunately disinforming citizens wasn’t the only tactic governments like Germany used to counter loss of enthusiasm upon their citizens. Arresting protestors, propaganda, abusive police powers, and censorship were also tactics Germany used to combat loss of enthusiasm. Examples of propaganda Germany publicized were normally pictures with resilient soldiers saying things like “we’re almost there” and other phrases to keep citizens' hopes up and even enlist to go to war.
The Treaty of Versailles was created after WWI to get things even with all countries affected by the war. This left Germany in a very bad position considering all the debts they had to pay to the other countries they hurt. With this high debt and lingering guilt, it left Germany with anger worthy of starting another war. Germany ended up disinforming their population and deluding their population into thinking it was the fault of minorities like Jews that caused the mishaps of war.

This isn't an English Question but...
What you do first is find the LCD (Least Common Denominator)
You do this by finding the factors of 16 and seeing if they correspond with two.
So you're factors are, (1,16) (2,8) (4,4)
So the LCD is 2. You would then make each fraction over two. Since 1/2 is already over 2 you would make 5/16 over two by dividing by 8.
That gives you .347 or 347/1000
Then you would add each whole number, 24 + 2. This gives you 26 and then add the decimel. 26.347
There is probably a simpler way but here's mine.
